Paris Hilton reflected on her long-standing friendship with Britney Spears, revealing that the two have recently bonded over the harsh realities of fame they faced in the early 2000s. Speaking on 'I’ve Never Said This Before with Tommy DiDario' on January 29, Hilton said the pair discussed how “cruel” and “mean-spirited” public treatment was during that era, describing it as a shared experience few people truly understand.
“Back then it was entertainment to tear down women,” Hilton said, adding that enduring that scrutiny ultimately made them stronger. She also described the period as deeply isolating, noting that the intense criticism shaped her perspective on resilience and purpose.
From being one of the defining sensations of the early 2000s, and among the first celebrities famous simply for being famous, to working alongside lawmakers to advocate for protections for children in reform schools and beyond, Paris Hilton’s story is far more complex than it appears. Suffice it to say, we may not know her as well as we think we do.
