Kathy Hilton: Young People May Learn from Paris
Kathy Hilton wants young people to learn from her jail-bound daughter Paris, according to a statement Barbara Walters read on Wednesday’s edition of The View.
Saying she had talked to Kathy Hilton the night before and describing her as a friend for “many years” and “a very caring mother,” Walters said, “This is something, obviously, as a mother it’s horrendous when your child, no matter what, has to go to jail for 45 days.”
Hilton’s statement, as read by Walters, said: “We can only hope that something positive will come from this. Hopefully, young people who look up to people like Paris can learn from this.”
Walters, applauding Kathy Hilton’s refusal to declare her daughter’s innocence, called it “a strong and very good statement.”
Others at the View table did not necessarily concur, suggesting, as did guest host Kathy Griffin, that possibly the tables had turned, and Paris Hilton was not being seen as a role model by young people.
“Whether they’re looking up or looking down, they are looking at Paris,” said Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who added, “You want to discipline your child before the criminal justice system does.”
On May 4, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Sauer sentenced the 26-year-old hotel heiress to 45 days in jail for violating her probation by driving with a suspended license.
After the general public had cleared the courtroom, Kathy Hilton angrily burst from the seating area toward the attorneys’ table, saying loudly, “I can’t believe this, I can’t believe this.”
Then she approached one of the prosecutors and said, “You’re pathetic,” before asking sarcastically, “Can I have your autograph?”
This week, Paris Hilton’s psychiatrist, Dr. Charles Sophy, declared that the Simple Life star is “distraught and traumatized” and “fears incarceration.” -people
