    I definitely hated Hilton in the 00s but she’s been a standup and model citizen compared to Lohan. Lohan has a family history of drug abuse and turned into a train wreck on her own. Hilton by all accounts is a decent person with nearly every controversy she’s in coming down to she’s from rich white money so cameras followed her everywhere. Supposedly she’s a huge amateur radio enthusiast.

      Paris Hilton isn’t exactly a genius, but she’s miles smarter than most of her “collegues” from that era.

      Too many coincidences. She does the reality show with Nicole Ritchie which is fine. Nicole has problems with eating disorder, Paris gets more tabloid attention. Paris becomes friends with Lindsey Lohan (big star at the time), Lindsey goes off the deep end. And then the same thing happens with Britney Spears and that producer dude that Paris dates (I think he was twice her age and left his wife because of her). He produces an excellent album for her actually. It’s hard not to see a pattern. And even with regular drug abuse people usually don’t fall apart as badly and as publicly as those three did.

      Paris was ignored by wealthy parents and sent to one of those abusive youth camps. That’s the root.

      Idk if I can agree. Anyone who hangs out with Amy schumer and nick swardson has to be pretty shit, right? Those two are the poster children for smarmy white affluenza.
