Paris Ain't Perfect -- But Cut Her a Break

Harvey Levin, Elliot Mintz, and Paris HiltonParis Hilton has flaws -- lots of them. She has spoken ill of others, she is too deep into vanity for my taste, she arguably parties way too much, she's a really bad driver, and on and on. But does that mean she deserves to die?

I'm stunned by how many people react to Paris the way they react to Al Qaeda. By the way, TMZ has probably done it's share to make her life miserable. We put the Brandon Davis video out to the world, and the car crash, and the other car crash, and the dancing, and the PDA's, and... you get the point. But really? Comment #100? Calling her a "stupid, ugly slut." You can do better than that.

And # 76, calling her a "dumpster for semen." True, she made a sex tape. But honestly, so what? I can tell you this, Rick Soloman bought a $3.5 million house off that tape, but there's never been evidence that she got any money or had anything to do with releasing it. So she made a tape with some guy she was with, does that make her a whore?

I think there's lot of fair criticism in the Paris Hilton department. And she brings a lot of it on herself by creating the Paris marketing machine which, by the way, has been incredibly successful. But with success come lumps, and she deserves to take those lumps. But isn't there a difference between Paris Hilton and the shoe bomber? Just because they have shoes in common doesn't make them one.

17. I don't like or dislike Paris. She is not for me to judge, but God's. I truly feel sorry for her because she does not really like herself very much and has an inferiority complex.98.9% of people who act llike her, talk like her, etc, have that complex. I know, I was one of them. My change came when I gave my life to God, and found that He loves me as I am, so why shiould't I? Then I found tht I did not need to act and talk as if I were the greatest thing on earth...just for attention. Nicky is the complete oposite of Paris, and needs to help her get a better view of herself.

18. The girl made it her singular mission in life to become famous and now is crying foul for what that fame has brought her. Hey Paris, do something with your life other than profit on your celebrity. If you did, you might not incur people's derision. As it is, what do you do? You want people to treat you with respect, then act respectably. You want people to leave you alone? Then don't fucking make going out your job (literally, getting paid to go to parties). You don't want people to call you a slut? Then don't make a sex tape, and get engaged every five minutes. Being an adult is taking responsibility for the consequences of your actions. Grow up.

20. trust me when i say im not saying that i love her but i dont hate her. i think her image has been shot because of mistakes she has made, but she is only in her early 20's. almost everybody makes stupid choices or things they will regret when they are young. that doesnt maker her a horrible or rotten person, it makes her normal. i dont know her personaly and neither do any of you so how can u say such hurtful things? again im not saying everyone should look up to her but give her a break. it seams like everyone hates her because she is rich and has the world at her fingertips. no one likes it because they cant have what she has! if i had 100 million sitting in my bank account waiting 4 me i would be showing it off and having everything she has as well. she has made poor choices as well as good ones by being able to make money just being herself. i think everyone is being to harsh on someone they dont even know. she is someone u see on tv and that everyone loves to gossip about because they are jealous. i read those magazines and i listen but i dont sit here and say she deserves to die!! what the hell is wrong with u people for wishing that upon someone?? has paris hurt u personaly? has she said anything or caused you any pain?? i didnt think so! GET A LIFE. Paris incase you see this: dont listen to this! it probably is hard being in the spolight 24/7 but enjoy your fortune and fame, because im sure there is a billion girls who would love to be in your shoes.

21. I dont think that paris hilton is any worse than the majority of young women out there today... i too am a young woman and know how girls are... the only reason why people are scruitinizing her is because of her wealth and public appearance. there are far more girls out there who are much more of sluts than her.. and i dont necisarly think she is one.. who are we to judge how many people she has slept with or had encounters with.. you dont know her personally and all you see is what the media puts out there.. they wouldnt paint a pretty picture of her and make her look like an angel because people arent interested in that.. they are only interested in what they can bag on and be envious of... and thats all it is.. people say nasty things when they are jealous...and im sure most of you are pretty jealous of her wealth and fame...so before you go saying cruel things as to how she is sluty or how she should die.. why dont you look at most of the other women you know or yourself and see how many people you have slept with... really one video that was out of her reach is not that bad... im sure there are a handfull of other regular women who have made videos too.. and does that make them a slut??? i dont think so...

24. OMG!
Give Paris a break!
Yes, I am an avid Paris fan, and I am so tired of hearing this kind of belittling nonsense! And nothing was said about her being a career bound celebrity. You people get a life and leave Paris out of it......................

26. I think everyone is being too hard on Paris for having a sex tape. Come on, most of us have at one time recorded or at least thought about recording ourselves having sex. Paris' tape received so much publicity Rick Salomon, her sleazy ex, not herself. I don't think that having your most private moments revealed to the whole world because someone you trusted betrayed you makes someone a "slut" or "whore". I do however, feel that Paris thinks too highly of herself and puts herself on a pedestal. But i don't think that anything she has ever done is any reason for her to receive so much hatred and be called awful names.

28. I don't want to hear any of this crap Paris. You are a pitiful excuse for a human being. You walk around with no underwear and barely-there skirts, act like a complete slut, and you want people to treat you like a human being?

You have portrayed yourself in such a negative light with your daily doings that the sex tape is the least of your worries. It would scare me to think I could sit and watch you on a sex tape.

Just to show how ignorant and immature you are... you sit here and blame an ex-boyfriend for "ruining" your life with the sex tape. Girl please, grow up!!!!

30. I remember this old adage, "People in glass houses should't throw stones".

Something we need to remind ourselves of.
