When asked if she herself ever dated Hilton, she replies: “I did. He was nuts. It was quite volatile. Once we were lying in bed, and he took out this gun from the side table and shot it to the ceiling. Nicky Hilton had a problem with being too good-looking and too rich, and I don’t think he got a lot of love from his father.”

Via voiceover, Taylor says that she “was a bit of a punching bag” for Hilton, whom she married in 1950 when she was only 18.
