    hey yall, as has been correctly pointed out by a couple people in the comments below, paris hilton does have a history of racism and homophobic that hasn't been addressed. i had no idea (as i stated in this video i didnt know much about paris prior to reading this book) but i honstly should have taken the time to read up a little more and be more aware of the ways in which she's hurt people before hitting record and praising the book. thanks to everyone who brought this to my attention and sorry to anyone who was hurt by my support of paris. i know it's cringey to post a buzzfeed article but this one has a pretty good breakdown of the comments paris has made www.buzzfeednews.com/article/stephaniesoteriou/paris-hilton-history-racism-anti-gay-problematic

      WOW. I hope all the people that watch this video also read this article. I was a teen in the 00s and I barely remember any of this bc I was anti-Paris Hilton in general back then and avoided news abt her. But more recently I have been kind of into her rebrand. So. Definitely needed this reminder. It’s really something that she goes in on Pink yet way more recently Paris: “went on to accuse the women who’d accused Trump of SAing them as ‘just trying to get attention and get fame.’” And all the racism and homophobia. HUGE YIKES

My sister’s mom sent her to one where they shackled the kids and fed them beats from a can. It took a judge a full YEAR to finally let us take her from there, and only after my sister was able to speak with him personally and explain the situation. The program was shut down a few YEARS later and the owners just went one state over and started again.

    16:51 This part is so sad, SHE is trying to understand why her parents put her in those schools, and her mom knows the pain it caused Paris, but her mom won't say sorry to her, she won't take some responsibility for this trauma to help Paris heal. And that Paris won't push the issue with her because she doesn't want to be separated from her family and instead just tells them she love them. Damn, that is so sad, it feels lonely, lonely but with your family, like they aren't seeing her.
    I watched Paris's special, can't remember what it's called. Her mom and sister don't look good in it. They are just plain unkind to her, like Paris is always trying to belong with them, and she can never do it.
    She may have grown up with money, but her life has many real sad moments. Those schools of abuse she went to, I can't imagine the trauma that caused her. Her documentary, i think it's "This is Paris", is really good, sad, but good.

      Paris was an out of control spoiled brat, making stupid choices over and over again. She put herself into dangerous situations... the very things her parents tried to protect her from. Her parents did what they thought was going to protect her. She was out of control
      Maybe more extensive counseling may have helped, but some people have to learn the hard way. I believe her parents tried to control the outcome of her bad decisions, but again , people have to learn from the school of hard knocks. Either way, she lives a blessed life, having been born into wealth and privilege. How about owning her part in all that happened to her? She put her parents in a terrible position by her disobedience and defiance.

She was out of control as a young person. I hope her children don't put her through what her poor mom went through. The bad things that happened to her were the result of bad choices she made.

      @@katherinequesada7382this is a terrible take on this situation in my opinion. You’re saying (even if you’re not trying to) she was a bad teen that stressed/worried her parents so she brought trauma on herself, and her parent are the real victims. As a parent I get it’s hard to see your kid throw there life away, but constantly sending your child to a place they’ve told you is abusing them, they keep running away with others, and later you see that one of those places was closed down due to being involved in the death of kids yet still not being able to give an apology years later for not believing her is down right despicable. Then after all that trauma they just send her to places that are even worse for years until she aged out. At that point they gave up on her. On loving her, empathizing with her, parenting her, and as a parent that’s never okay (if your kids didn’t do heinous crimes). Its okay to see the parents pov and sympathize/empathize with what they were dealing with at that time but victim blaming is never okay. The real question in general is would you do this to your child? and that answer says a lot.

    I feel truly awful for everything Paris had to endure. I also can't forget her decades-long history of extreme racism, homophobia, and anti-semitism. The Paris Hilton re-brand era has been really good at making the public forget about her problematic history. It's difficult to balance feeling truly sorry for everything someone went through while also not being able to forgive their hatefulness, because truly in that regard I don't think she's changed at all. She literally voted for Trump.

      As much as Paris was a target for her public persona, society didn't really want her to be anything else. The only really "acceptable" thing for women in pop culture to do at the time was attack women like Paris and honestly, she was too hot to be taken seriously as an "alternative girl". Pop culture was begging for a Paris bc our entertainment was based around creating people like her just for the joy of tearing them down. When The Simple Life premiered it was insanely popular and the irony was everyone watching it thinking they were the smart ones laughing at idiots.

      Sadly You can nvr assume rich ppl aren't exposed to the most fu¢ked up/ heinous crimes. Especially in Hollyweird, America's capital of pedos, they have enough money, power and influence to pay off anyone to turn a blind eye- They can literally get away with anything.😡 And it's about 50% of parents that are 'good' parents. Money doesn't make you a 'good' or 'perfect' parent, neglect/abuse in any form doesn't discriminate.

  • @Lynsey17
    @Lynsey17 Год назад +7

    The entire "school for troubled teens" industry is terrifying but their preference for taking kids in the middle of the night is problematic. Like, that sounds traumatic in the best cases. Imagine an SA survivor going through that 😢.
    Also, I don't know what I would do in her parents situation. I want to believe I'd see my kid's suffering and stop it but the schools do everything they can to destroy the trust between parents and their kids and are told repeatedly that the fact their kids run away and claim they're being abused just proves how troubled they are and how much they need the school.

    I think she has done well to not just be a wealthy socialite but she is, and always has been more privileged than most people and always had the security of affluence, generational wealth and power. I think she's clever for making herself even a miniscule of relatable but she still upholds the patriarchy and white supremacy by being a super capitalist and having her main life goal being becoming a billionaire. Something I think is gross to want and/or ridiculously out of touch (and actually completely unrelatable).
    I appreciate her work with teen camps and pushing for more protective laws. She is a very likeable character and she's brilliantly entertaining. But I can't not highlight her massive flaws.

    It's not often I am convinced to buy a book but I am convinced!
    This book sounds so good and you talking about the way the book is wrote because of ADHD really hit me because I am pretty sure I have ADHD I was diagnosed as a child and I was in pretty hard denial about it (because it ruined school for me!) And things like you talking about the way the book was written really makes me feel less alone during a time where I feel overwhelmingly alone
    I see people online talk about their ADHD and I can't relate at all sometimes but there is the rare time where I can relate and it hits me so deeply
    I recently went to a doctor for the first time since I was 7 and I am 23 and I went off on 100 different stories to explain everything I talked about and my husband later told me that I went off on a lot of tangents
    He didn't mean to hurt my feelings he was just trying to be helpful but it hurt so bad because I haven't been able to talk to anyone but him and my mom for 5 years and I feel like I have forgotten how to talk to people and I have no idea how to talk without going on tangents!

    So did Paris ever apologize for the racist comments? Like the one where she said she cannot date a person who is black, and when asked what percentage of black she could not tolerate she said 1%? Or is everything explained as "things I said while drunk" in the book?
    You know what? I have a friend who was raped when she wasn't even 10 years old, her family blamed her, she had to deal with her anxiety and depression without the money to buy her expensive treatment. You know what my friend never did? She was never racist.
    I'm not saying Paris wasn't a victim.
    I am saying that victims can also be abusers. And general apologies are just...general. Accountability is more than that.
    I honestly think we have women who have made a huge impact on society--from fighting for social justice, to art creators, to scientists--who do not get a hundreth of the amount of love, adoration and excuses that Paris get. I am not interested in this woman. I am interested in quieter women who are shaping our lives, surviving trauma and misogyny without Paris's funds, and are not racist. But we all decide how we spend our time.
