Paris' Mom to Babwa -- Learn from Paris!

Click to return to TMZParis Hilton's mother Kathy took to the airwaves -- speaking through the oracle that is Barbara Walters on this morning's "The View" -- urging "young people who look up" to Paris to "learn" from her DUI arrest and impending imprisonment.

Babwa, friends with Kathy and husband "Ricky" for years, said she spoke to Mama Hilton yesterday, and read a brief statement from the convicted socialite's mom. "We can only hope that something positive will come out of this," said Walters for Kathy. "Hopefully the young people who look up to people like Paris can learn from this." Not to mention her videos.

Guest co-host, "D-lister" Kathy Griffin shot back at Babwa and the Hiltons, "If the 'Free Paris' T-shirts were more popular, she'd be singing a different tune."

46. to #9, maybe you should learn how to spell (the word I assume you wanted was QUIET). All of these young celeb's are trainwrecks, and need to take a good look at their lives and see if that is how they would like to be remembered to their children.

47. Wait a minute, did she really say "...People look up to Paris?" HAHAH! Come on, the only people who look up to her are the ones who are shorter than that Paris-ite!

48. Well no, Paris Hilton is NOT bigger than Jesus, but I hope she tries to gain something positive out of her jail time. That's all she can really do if she's bound to be heading to jail. And come on, did people really think Arnold would pardon her? His wife would beat the heck out of him first before he even considered that. He'd lose so much respect from voters that he'd never live it down. And not to mention how many other people would try to get pardoned by him for similar or bigger offenses. So unrealistic.

49. Paris Hilton is NOT any type of person young people should 'look up to'.
My daughter is 15 and she thinks Paris is a SKANK, all her friends feel the same way also., ( guys also).

The damage has been done to what ever image or public opinion she had & Paris did this damage herself. There are lot's of other rich young women that have respect for themselves, have educations, donate to charity, work, have careers etc.

What has Paris ever done besides going to clubs, doing x-rated movies, red-carpet poses for thousands of dollars, flashing her crotch & saying racist comments???
NOTHING ! NOTHING AT ALL !
She is a disgrace to young women.

52. I SAY DAMAGE CONTROL MODE!!!!!!!
IS THE DUI ATTORNEY REDIRECTING THE HILTON'S WAY OF HANDLING THE PUBLIC?OF COURSE KATHY WOULD KNOW BA-WA WALTERS WOULD RELAY A MESSAGE ON NATIONAL T.V.

THE HILTON'S CANNOT FOOL THE PUBLIC- TOO LITTLE TOO LATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I THINK MOMMA SAW ALL THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS SHE WAS GETTING, ESPECIALLY ON TMZ.
I DO NOT BELIEVE ANY OF IT.

53. Monica, my 11-year-old daughter thinks Paris is a skank, too.

54. Better yet - learn from Kathy Hilton. Her behavior in the courtroom and afterwards is an example of someone with no class. Boy - her PR people have had a discussion with her. Nice try, but Kathy Hilton has already shown her true colors.

55. I think if Paris hit someone while driving drunk, she would blame THEM for getting in her way.

56. How can anyone possibly take barbara walters seriously anymore. Bad enough she does a public service announcment for Queen Kathy Hilton, then she has to put her own spin on it to validate this piece of damage control propaganda, scripted by their latest lawyer.At one time maybe Ms. Walters opinion would have mattered, but those days are long gone. She should just retire already.

PARIS HILTON , SHE'S THE LAST PERSON ANYONE

WHO WOULD WANT TOO ........."PARIS HILTON IS A BAD

EXAMPLE . PARIS HILTON A IRRESPONSIBLE PERSON

SHE WILL NEVER GROW UP , SHE WILL ALWAYS STAY

IMMATURE . SO KATHY HILTON , YOU AS A MOTHER

DID A LOUSY JOB RAISING PARIS , THAT'S EXACTLY

WHAT YOU AND RICK HILTON GET FOR RAISING A

SPOILED BRAT OF A DAUGHTER ....YOUR OWN FAULT

YOU DEAL WITH IT , NOT THE GENERAL PUBLIC , NOR

THE JUDGE OR LAWYERS , SEND HER ASS TO JAIL

SHE CANT HANDLE LIFE ........RICK , KATHY , PARIS

NIKKI AND 2 BROTHERS AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS

JUST TELL HER , THERE'S NO YOUNG ADULTS , LOOK

UP AT PARIS HILTON . AGAIN SHE'S A BAD EXAMPLE ....

Posted at 3:22PM on May 16th 2007 by PARIS HILTON IS A BAD EXAMPLE .....NO YOUNG ADULT IS LOOKING UP TO PARIS , NO WAY ....

58. Actually, I doubt she was looked up to BEFORE the DUI and its aftermath.

59. ...... To POSTER # 46: That was the most rude, disgusting, vulgar comment that I have EVER seen on TMZ ....... "swallowed ......." - I LOVED IT!

60. I am so disgusted with Barbara condoning anything about "poor Paris Hilton." The mother is an opportunistic nut bag and the daughter is retarded. Who raises their child to think that they owe nothing to anyone and the world thinks they are wonderful. Kathy is a disgrace as a mother throwing Nikki and Paris into that club scene at such young ages. She and her husband never instilled the girls with values or education. I will never watch the View again.
