Pairs Hilton Traumatised By Jail Sentence

Paris Hilton is "traumatised" and "distraught", according to her psychiatrist. The blonde hotel heiress, who is facing an order to testify in a $10 million civil suit against her, is not capable of taking part in the trial claims Dr. Charles Sophy. Sophy insists Paris needs to recover from the shock of receiving a 45-day jail sentence, after violating her probation by driving with a suspended licence.

The psychiatric report said: "Given Miss Hilton's current psychological and emotional state she is not capable of any meaningful participation in a trial.

"She is emotionally distraught and traumatised as a consequence of the findings at the May 4 hearing, the jail sentence imposed upon her by the judge, and her fear of incarceration."

Papers filed by Paris' lawyers reveal the 26-year-old has received treatment from Sophy for eight months, and has visited the psychiatrist several times since her probation violation hearing.

The slander and libel suit, filed against Paris by actress Zeta Graff, is due to begin on May 21.

Graff claims she was falsely accused by Paris of stalking the socialite and her ex-lover Paris Latsis - who Graff previously dated. Graff has accused Paris of spreading "vicious lies" about her which appeared in the New York Post newspaper in July 2005.

A representative for Paris has declined to comment on the psychiatric report.
