S6E37 | Paz de la Huerta - Inner Beauty Rising: The Journey of Healing Herself to Healing the World

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: [email protected] I’m honored to have back on the show for a second time: Satanic ritual abuse, sex trafficking, and Harvey Weinstein survivor and whistleblower, acclaimed actress, model, artist and painter, and a brilliant woman who has risked her life to shine a light on the darkness of her life and the lives of other victims and survivors: Paz de la Huerta Born on September 3, 1984, in the vibrant heart of New York City, Paz grew up in Tribeca surrounded by art, privilege, and hidden shadows. The daughter of a women's rights activist mother (referred to here as Judith) and a Spanish duke from noble aristocracy, her early world blended creativity with horrendous abuse - including childhood exploitation, family fractures, and a childhood marked by control and trauma that spanned continents.From a tender age, Paz turned to art as her lifeline - painting imagined safe havens and dollhouses to escape the chaos. That same creative fire propelled her into acting, where her raw, magnetic talent shone. With her striking beauty, fierce sensuality, and depth that evoked classic Hollywood sirens, Paz earned a scholarship to Saint Ann's School and graduated with one of the highest IQ scores in its storied history - proof that her intellect burned as brightly as her beauty and on-screen presence.Yet beneath the spotlight, Paz life hid unimaginable horrors. Childhood incest, familial trafficking by those closest to her, exploitation tied to powerful figures like Harvey Weinstein, and brutal assaults that shattered her trust.The last time Paz was on, we discussed her childhood, upbringing, early abuses by her father that later led to her mother selling and trafficking her to the ‘hightest bidders’ like Harvey Weinstein, the emotional and physical turmoil Paz was suffering throughout her successful career as an actress and model, how art was her saving grace and outlet, a scandal involving Lana Del Ray, her pursuit for justice, and much more. I’ll have the link to that episode in the show notes and highly recommend listening if you haven’t already.Today, we will be continuing where we left off - exploring the devastating and severe attempts on her life that were orchestrated on-set of her films and during her treatment by doctors who were supposed to be caring for her, the spiraling health crises including brain trauma, the relentless control that came from those closest to her, her journey into whistleblowing, her spiritual awakening, her safer life on the farm with her beloved animals after escaping brutal abuse in Madrid five years ago, her newest projects and aspirations, animal rescue efforts, and her dreams of building orphanages to protect vulnerable children.DONATE TO PAZ'S GOFUNDME: https://www.gofundme.com/f/justice-for-paz-fundraiser-for-spanish-criminal-lawyers-andCONNECT WITH PAZ:TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@paz.de.la.huertaIG: https://www.instagram.com/thefugitive1984/CONNECT W/ EMMA:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialEMAIL: [email protected]: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationVENMO: @emmapreneurCASHAPP: $EmmaKatherine1204All links: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcastSupport the show
