Paris: Harass vics wanted $ or ‘good-looking’ Trump
PARIS HILTON, famous for having done nothing of note, claims the women who accused Donald Trump of sexual harassment are taking a page out of her book.
The 36-year-old — who famously starred in a leaked sex tape — revealed in a new interview that she believes the women who alleged the future commander-in-chief had groped and grabbed them, among other allegations, are simply “opportunists” who jumped at the chance to bring themselves fame and fortune — and maybe even snag a date.
“I think that they are just trying to get attention and fame,” she told Marie Claire. “I feel like, a lot of people, when something happens, all these opportunists will come out. They want to get money or get paid to not say anything or get a settlement when nothing really happened. So I don’t believe any of that.”
Hilton also expressed her belief that his accusers were interested in him. “I’m sure that they were trying to be with him, too,” Hilton said. “Because a lot of women, I’ve seen, like him because he’s wealthy and he’s charming and good-looking, so I feel like a lot of these girls just made the story up.”
Trump has faced several sexual assault allegations over the last year, among them a fired “Apprentice” contestant who accused the future President of grabbing her breast and thrusting his genitals at her, and a woman who claimed he groped her genitals inside a crowded nightclub in the early 1990s.
Other accusers include a Finnish beauty pageant queen who claims Trump groped her in 2006, and a People reporter who alleged that she was interviewing Trump at his Mar-a-Lago club in 2005 when he forcefully came on to her and shoved his tongue down her throat. Many of the accusers stepped forward after a leaked “Access Hollywood” tape from 2005 caught Trump explaining his technique: “Grab them by the p---y. You can do anything. When you’re a star, they let you do it.” Just as she did with Trump’s sexual assault accusers, Hilton (photo) was quick to dismiss the tape, released in October, as typical guy talk.
“I’ve heard guys say some pretty crazy things. Like, worse than that,” she said. “I’ve heard guys say the craziest things ever ’cuz I’m always around guys and I listen to them speak.” The hotel heiress briefly made headlines herself during the campaign season when an old Howard Stern interview with Trump, in which he called a preteen Hilton “beautiful,” surfaced in October.
“I’ve known Paris Hilton from the time she’s 12, her parents are friends of mine, and the first time I saw her, she walked into the room and I said, ‘Who the hell is that?’ Trump said, before admitting he watched her sex tape. “At 12, I wasn’t interested. I’ve never been into that … but she was beautiful.”
Hilton placed the blame on Stern, saying the shock jock encourages a skeevy environment.
“I feel that anyone that’s on that show, Howard just loves to say weird things and people say things that they normally wouldn’t say,” she said. “It wasn’t creepy at all. He’s not like that at all, he’s always been so respectful.”
