Where do I even start when talking about reputation damage with the Hiltons? Well I could start with the fact that Paris Hilton’s career began with a night vision home video, the stint in jail for multiple DWIs, or even the fact that “Paris Hilton’s billionaire grandfather Barron Hilton” gave away 97% of his $2.3 billion dollars to the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation. Rumor has it that he gave away most of his fortune because he did not like the way that the grandchildren have represented the family name. Even though all of Paris’ sexcapades and ludicrous actions are fascinating, the real story of the moment is the DUI and fake ID arrest of Barron Hilton, the 18 year old brother of Paris and Nicole.
Paris Hilton must have a relatively good publicist who was correct in trying to help with the attempts at changing her party girl image after her few hours in jail. Now this publicist has a new person to turn her services on. Barron Hilton was seen wandering around a gas station and offered various bribes to the arresting officers, including his sister Paris. With information like this, Barron will have some trouble wiping this one off of his record. Even though the family fortune was given away, this family is by no means destitute. They have more than enough to get every member of their family drivers. You would think that after his sister embarrassed the family by going to jail in 2007 that he would have learned his lesson and rode in the limousine like the rest of his family. People make mistakes, but seriously? If I were his mother, I wouldn’t even know what to say to him. It seems that this family’s advice needs to be to take away the kids’ keys after a night out.
