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

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

[-] Maeve@midwest.social 1 points 1 day ago

Miles more equipped, for reasons we can't know.

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.

Hilton was also kidnapped and shipped off to several "scared straight" torture camps by her family as a teenager..

She had some horrible shit done to her, and apprently vowed to make her own money separate from her family. The vapid, "that's hot" party girl persona was her succeeding.

Shes come out hard against what happened to her and tries to help current victims. She managed to get legislation passed to help them, but also takes a more direct approach.

Yeah, after reading about her being very public and adamantly against the troubled teen torture camps, I had to really confront the assumptions I'd made about her in the past. She's a very privileged person who's doing an important thing for some of the most vulnerable people in society. I have a ton of respect for her!

I’m glad the conversation happened, I typically tune out any celebrity news and this turned out to be a good discussion to read and learn more about. I can’t say I’ve ever held an opinion about any of these celebrity folks beyond being entitled trash but I agree with the conclusion you presented that I’m replying to.

[-] magnetosphere@fedia.io 8 points 3 days ago

I didn’t know about any of that. Definitely not what I would’ve expected! Thanks for the links!

It almost seems like that if you take any problem in a country and make a business opportunity out of it, that that is a really bad idea...
