I’ve never minded Paris Hilton (in comparison to the Kardashians etc..) and I’m only half way into the documentary, but, I just don’t buy a lot of what she’s saying, there’s something about her which seems so insincere and fake. I’ve also noticed her voice jumping a lot from her real voice to her ‘character’ in the narrative. Its so strange.
She said herself in the docu that she's used to "perform" when cameras are on her and she automatically switches into her "public persona", hence the switching.
It was also said at the beginning that the docu turnt about 180 and became something entirely different than initially intended.
I think it was supposed to be about the real her, but not quite as deep as it in the end became.
People who have been abused as children often subconsciously put on a childlike voice in situations where they are uncomfortable. She was doing it when meeting people which to me suggests she is uncomfortable. Michael Jackson was also abused as a child and had a childlike voice/weird demeanor (separate from his own abuse rumours).
This, too.
When children grow up with no boundaries then parents will blame the child as being out of control, especially wealthy parents like Kathy and her husband. They were probably too busy making money and having a high social life to care much about their children. Some parents with Kathy’s don’t spend much time with their children and ship them off to boarding schools at an early age. Paris probably did not form much of an attachment with her parents, which resulted in her OTT behaviour that was to get some attention. The less the parents pay attention the more outrageous the behaviour and, sadly, it seemed to backfire on poor Paris if they shipped her off.
This, absolutely.
I think this also goes with what I said earlier, of the parents spoiling and denying the kids too much at the same time.
They weren't given proper attention and the parental love kids need, weren't allowed to do anything remotely perceived as negative (hence no makeup rule, super strict curfews) as it would reflect badly on them and the Hilton name rather than the kids and at the same time were just given anything material there was (limitless credit card for Paris, which cost them so much Nicky wasn't given limitless).
Any kid would turn out "bad" when brought up like this.
The boys seem screwed up as well, which is hardly suprising. And Nicky was a bit off the rails as well, only Nicky isn't as damaged as Paris and turnt her life around. Of the boys one also seems more screwed up than the other, but I barely know anything about the two boys (well, men now), so I'm not a good judge there.
I wonder what Paris real relationship with her parents and sister is and their thoughts. Kathy didn't just lie and came off like an ass, but there were moments between Paris and her mum and sister where it seemed there are reall deep seated issues and resentments (with Kathy, that isn't surprising).
Though Paris did I think spend lockdown, or part of it, with Nicky and her husband and kids.
