Hilton reveals to Access Hollywood that she doesn’t want to be known as a ditz anymore. With 17 product lines and 70 overseas stores, she’s built a business empire and is ready for people to recognize it.
“I am a very hardworking businesswoman and entrepreneur, and that’s what I want to be known as now,” shares the hotel heiress.
The 35-year-old credits the producers of her breakout reality show The Simple Life with her frivolous persona, explaining, “They said ‘Nicole you play the trouble maker, Paris you play the ditzy airhead.’ We had no idea what we were getting ourselves into or what a huge success it would be and that I’d have to continue playing this character for five years.”
“You kind of just get trapped in that character when you have to continue doing it on a TV show,” she says.
“I don’t mind because I feel like I really parlayed it into a huge business and it was a lot of fun,” she says. “I think if I was my serious self on the show it wouldn’t have been such a huge success.”
I think this was pointed out in an interview once. I think it was Wendy Williams? Like when they were talking about certain topics she would use and bubble airhead voice, but when she started talking about her business, her voice deepened and she was articulate.
“I don’t mind because I feel like I really parlayed it into a huge business and it was a lot of fun,” she says. “I think if I was my serious self on the show it wouldn’t have been such a huge success.”
I love how she gets it, like it was so worth it bitch you are my childhood. thank you.
"Trapped" as if she were some starving teen with no family just trying to make it and not a multi-million dollar trust fund baby with her entire life (financially) covered since birth. Good for you for building your empire, but let's not act like you ever had to do anything professionally that you didn't want to do.

Like... what? She could have told the producers no or quit after the first season
I truly think Paris is a genius, at the height of her fame she knew how to play the game to stay relevant and successful. And now that shes over that, she still has an even more successful career and is far more subdued now and enjoying life. She is really an inspiration at times.
Its what we all do in our work and careers. We play this character to get ahead, and eventually that leads to success in most cases. Paris is one of those cases.
