Hilton Calls Barbara Walters From Jail

ABC News reported I asked what happened in the jail that led to her being released or reassigned to her home. She said she had not been wailing, sobbing or screaming as had been described.

Does she also deny wailing, sobbing, or screaming in court?

"But," she said, "I was not eating or sleeping. I was severely depressed and felt as if I was in a cage.

You were in a cage. That is what jail is. And you were going to be there for 23 days.

I was not myself. It was a horrible experience." "How are you different?" I asked. "I'm not the same person I was," she said. "I used to act dumb. It was an act. I am 26 years old, and that act is no longer cute.

And were you not smart enough to realize that act was not cute?

It is not who I am, nor do I want to be that person for the young girls who looked up to me. I know now that I can make a difference, that I have the power to do that. I have been thinking that I want to do different things when I am out of here. I have become much more spiritual. God has given me this new chance."

He does that when you turn to Him. But He can tell when you are acting as someone you are not. So be careful.

I asked what kinds of things she might want to do. She said she would like to help in the fields of breast cancer — her grandmother had breast cancer — or multiple sclerosis.

Couldn't they tell the difference?

Her father's mother suffers from that disease. She thought she might get toy companies to build a kind of Paris Hilton playhouse, where sick children might come, and the toy companies could donate toys.

Would you get to play with them too?

She has had a person whom she described as a spiritual adviser who said, "My spirit or soul did not like the way I was being seen and that is why I was sent to jail."

Actually you were sent to jail for twice driving on a suspended license from when you were driving drunk, and for not respecting the court.

"God," she said, "has released me."
