Paris Hilton has spoken out against online trolls who made cruel comments about her nine-month-old son, Phoenix, saying the situation 'hurts my heart more deeply than words can describe'. The 42-year-old socialite and DJ shared photos of herself cradling Phoenix on Instagram last week, only to face mockery of his appearance.
In a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter), Hilton wrote: 'Living life in the spotlight, comments are inevitable, but targeting my child, or anyone else's for that matter, is unacceptable. This hurts my heart more deeply than words can describe.' She added that she has 'worked hard to cultivate an environment that is all about love, respect, and acceptance'.
Hilton, who shares Phoenix with husband Carter Reum, 42, addressed the contradiction she faces: 'If I don't post my baby, people assume I'm not a great mother and if I do post him, there are some people who are cruel and hateful.' She described Phoenix as 'perfectly healthy, adorable and angelic' and said he is 'the biggest blessing of my life'.
The star also took to TikTok to respond, reportedly saying: 'There are some sick people in this world. My angel is perfectly healthy. And yes, of course he has been to a doctor, he just has a large brain.' She urged people to 'treat one another with more kindness and empathy'.
