Kat Von D compared the boarding school for troubled teens she and Paris Hilton attended to being ‘kidnapped and locked up in an institution’

Kat Von D has revealed she went to the same “torturous” boarding school for troubled teens as Paris Hilton.

Paris, 39, has claimed she suffered daily physical and mental abuse when she spent 11 months as a student at Provo Canyon School in Utah, which changed ownership in 2000.

Now Kat, 38, has revealed she was sent there aged 15, and said she had a similar experience in a video posted to Instagram, comparing it to being “kidnapped and locked up in an institution”.

Like Paris, she claimed she remembers being woken up in the middle of the night and forcefully taken to the institution.

The tattoo artist said: “I was sleeping… and the door opens and there are these two big dudes and a pretty athletic-built woman standing at the door telling me to calm down and to get dressed and that we would be leaving.
