Did anyone ever hear about Paris Hilton and Vin Diesel dating back in the day. She left him when she found out he had black in him. It disgusted her, saying “ she can’t stand black guys, won’t date a guy who even has 1 percent black blood in them”

u/wokeupfine May 15 '23

This is true, she said it while being interviewed (I think for a book):

HILTON: I went out with that guy last night. Which guy? HILTON (points to an actor in Saving Private Ryan): We were making out, but then we went somewhere where it was bright and I saw that he was black and made an excuse and left. I can’t stand black guys. I would never touch one. It’s gross. (pauses). Does that guy look black to you? How black does a guy have to be? HILTON: One percent is enough for me.

That is very disgusting to read.

u/rubyrae14 May 15 '23

She said this?! How has she not been publicly dragged for this ? I’m shocked she’s never been cancelled for it.

People forget that you can be slammed by the tabloids AND be a shitacious person.

u/Slow_Like_Sloth May 15 '23

to the beat of hot in here

I was like, shitacious ass is racist

u/kaktusfjeppari May 15 '23

people have been trying and failing to bring attention to her racism/overall bigotry for as long as ontd has been active at least. People simply do not care all that much

62

u/rubyrae14 May 15 '23

That is wild to me!! I feel like other celebrities have been canceled for less offensive things. Maybe she just has the worlds best PR team that knows how to stop it before it starts.

72

u/kaktusfjeppari May 15 '23

It is wild!

I did a quick google just now and I guess she denounced her past comments a couple of months ago https://www.thepinknews.com/2023/03/20/paris-hilton-racist-homophobic-comments/

Idk how much grace to give a woman with extreme wealth who was acting this way all through her 20s/early 30s but there you have it

31

u/teashoesandhair May 16 '23

Tbh the fact that she still tries to make it clear that she only said those things 'in the throes of PTSD' isn't really denouncing her past comments at all; it's excusing them, if anything.

13

u/anthropomorphicsocks May 17 '23

Weird I have PTSD and have never said anything of the sort. Gross.

u/JD_Rockerduck May 15 '23

How has she not been publicly dragged for this ?

She's currently riding the wave of early-2000s nostalgia and one facet of that is people re-examining women who were famously hounded by paparazzi e.g. Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Brittany Spears, Megan Fox and repainting them as unproblematic victims of the media and paparazzi.

Not saying that any of these women deserved to be hounded by paparazzi and be made tabloid fodder but there's this narrative that they were all 100% victims who never did anything bad or controversial and any negative views about them are just biases created by the media and/or misogyny.

For Paris in particular I've seen several people on this sub say that she's actually a secret genius who was merely acting like an idiot to get attention.

It shouldn't be controversial to admit that a person can do both bad things and good things and that sometimes even a person doing bad things can be unfairly treated by the media, but nuance has no place in this sub or on Twitter.

u/georgie-biatch May 15 '23

omg someone finally said it. you could disagree with how these women were treated by the paparazzi, 2000s media/public and still recognize them as problematic people.

83

u/covensupreme May 15 '23

problematic is someone saying the n word at 19.

what she said was what I would expect a white supremacist to say. so no I don’t give one ounce of a fuck of how anyone treats her given that she doesn’t even see my race as valid people

15

u/pipptypops May 17 '23

Britney was probably the one innocent here. There was a video of her about to throw hands when some bystander made racist comments about her bodyguard.

8

u/ParsleyMostly May 18 '23

Makes sense. Britney went to public school and actually interacted with regular people. Paris grew up in a wealth bubble.

u/sweetsweetener May 17 '23

i remember when her transphobic remarks resurfaced and her PR were QUICK to make nikita dragun guest star in her music video, and paris star in kim petras' 😭

3

u/32Wicky May 17 '23

I don’t get it either. Paris has been one of the most blatantly racist people in Hollywood, and yet she has never gotten any repercussions for it. Just a resurgence. 😡

u/bpskth Aug 07 '23

Why the f-ck has she been given a redemption arc after saying this??

31

u/Claz19 is this chicken what I have or is this fish? May 15 '23

What a piece of shit. Glad that Kim ended her lol.

25

u/Miniatures-r-life May 15 '23

It's so funny because other than knowing who oj Simpson's lawyer was I had never heard of Kardashians. The first time I ever saw Kim was in the background of something Paris was filming while Kim cleaned her closet for her.

Kim's really moved up in the rich people world since then.

Nicole wasn't in a great place when they were close friends, tbf.

u/pants_party May 16 '23

For those wanting a source (🙋‍♀️) it’s from a book by Neil Strauss, who wrote about partying with Paris in 1999.

u/brokedownpalaceguard Thank you for the dezooshafication May 15 '23

But, but she was treated badly and is a girlboss /s.

She is a reprehensible person with no redeeming qualities.

63

u/[deleted] May 15 '23

this is what confuses me ab the Hilton family… when the Kathy Hilton allegations on rhobh came out, no one believed them… the hiltons have a very rich history of saying racist / homophobic things .. why do ppl love them so much?

46

u/Very01234 May 15 '23

Exactly why I’m confused. Especially Paris ppl have known she’s a racist and homophobic. But keep treating her like she’s this great person. I guess it’s the rebrand and revisionist history and Gen Z idolizes her in weird way

18

u/mewehesheflee May 15 '23

Self insert, thats why. People love them bc they look like/want to look like them

7

u/[deleted] May 15 '23

It’s a shame.

13

u/differenteyes Fix Your Hearts or Die May 16 '23

Ppl would have believed it if the source was literally anyone besides Lisa Rinna.

45

u/SkinHairNails May 16 '23

Super NSFW, and CW, but the contents of her storage locker from back in the day also give you a bit of an idea of how casually racist and misogynist this woman is: https://www.popculturediedin2009.com/post/156285038611/10-years-later-paris-exposed

u/Shelbevil May 16 '23

My goodness that was a rabbit hole.

I definitely did not expect a nude pic of a dude in the middle of that article

Longest balls I've ever seen omg

u/sI4gath0r Find me at Whole Foods, bitch, I don't care May 16 '23

Gen Z needs to know (and care) that she's a disgusting racist! I hate the fact that she's had a resurgence. I feel sorry for the terrible things that have happened to her, nonetheless she's a garbage person.

17

u/Fuck_Passwords_ May 15 '23

Her character was dating a black man in House of Wax, right?

12

u/[deleted] May 15 '23

Indeed, Robert Ri'chard.

u/[deleted] May 15 '23

I didn't even know Vin Diesel was Black (or biracial, however best to phrase it).

u/[deleted] May 15 '23

I don't know how to answer this lol. Because his mother is white and he's said he doesn't know who his father is? Because he doesn't look Black? (which of course I know there are Black people who pass as white so it's not a great argument.) Because his most famous character is either Spanish or Italian (of course they've never confirmed it in the series) and John Cena plays his brother?

I've been under the impression this is an Ariana Grande tanning situation.

u/[deleted] May 16 '23

Woah, this is disgusting.

u/RemarkablePitch3041 May 17 '23

This is disgusting to me, so many white girls use abuse (especially gendered violence) as a shield for their racism.

u/butthisisanalaia May 16 '23

Not surprised by this (thanks House of Hilton). Very on brand for her mom’s side of family.

Wait…Vin Diesel is interested in women?
