Conrad Hilton Put Into Psychiatric Treatment After Courtroom Outburst

In a worrying turn of events, the youngest member of the Hilton family, Conrad Hilton, has been ordered to seek psychiatric treatment while in the court-ordered custody of his parents, Rick and Kathy Hilton. The order came following a bizarre and troubling outburst from Hilton while he was in court for charges of grand theft auto and violating a restraining order. The Daily Mail reported that Hilton used a homophobic slur toward a courtroom photographer, was seen mouthing the words “fuck you” to his parents and younger brother when they entered the courtroom and disclosed that he “didn’t have sex with hookers” while answering the judge’s question about whether Hilton had the presence of mind to know why he was in court.

According to E!News, the judge’s ruling following Hilton’s troubling behavior is as follows: Hilton’s court date is postponed until June 29, he has put on $90,000 bail and he must go directly to the Menninger Health Clinic in Houston, Texas while in the custody of his father.
