Hilton calls 2007 Letterman interview ‘very cruel and mean’

American socialite and television personality Paris Hilton recently came out to express how she felt during the infamous 2007 David Letterman interview.

Hilton said she felt “humiliated” during the complete interview which is doing the rounds on social media.

Footage from the encounter went viral in February, with critics calling out the “disgusting” interview in which Letterman questioned the socialite about her 23 days behind bars for parole violation.

Letterman asked her: “How did you like being in jail?” and repeatedly kept questioning her about her time in prison.

After vaguely answering the questions, a clearly uncomfortable Paris said that she “didn’t really want to talk about” the “very traumatic experience”.

Appearing on her This is Paris podcast, Hilton said that the interview had been her first in months and that she had agreed to take part to discuss her new fragrance, with her prison sentence “off limits” for discussion.

“He’d always have fun with me and joke around, but I thought he would keep his word on this and I was wrong.”
