    Paris Hilton is a sexual abuse survivor that built a public persona of an “airhead” to sell to people to build up her own wealth away from her brutal family. The “rich spoiled girl tries common people’s things” was an act.

    Shes at this point working as an activist to shut these abusive organizations down.

      I’m aware of and support her current work and I agree that she’s much smarter than her public persona would lead people to believe. However, she still comes from a place of unbelievable privilege and telling people to “stop being desperate” is incredibly tone deaf, IMO.

      Two things can be true at the same time.

        She’s a wealthy heiress yes, but her parents did use their wealth to send her to a teenage torture facility. As a survivor of a similar facility, the fact that she is speaking up about those hellholes and might help get them closed down makes her absolutely amazing.
