For those like me that had never seen this before: https://www.vogue.com/article/paris-hilton-debunks-stop-being-poor-shirt

This apparently never happened.

"Stop Being Desperate" has a real "Let them eat cake" feel, especially coming from her.

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.

Was at a party with her at Cannes a decade ago and she was DJing, and was actually kinda good at it. She was with some young boy toy acting like a party girl. Soon as her set ended and the cameras went off it was like watching a switch flip. The dude left and she seemed to go have a quiet drink with a group of friends I couldn't make out. I learned about her past and business behind the scenes shortly after and felt like you know what, respect. Get that paper girl.
