Paris Hilton’s got her back. The socialite went on the record to defend her friend Britney Spears and says that her comments about her in court were misinterpreted.
During her heartbreaking court hearing last month, Spears said that she initially didn’t believe Hilton’s claims of abuse at her boarding school in Provo, Utah and because she didn’t believe her, that was the reason why she kept quiet about her own “abusive” conservatorship for so long. Here’s what you need to know.
Spears referred to Hilton’s public allegations about Provo Canyon School in Utah, where she allegedly was abused by the “evil and sadistic” staff. Spears said that when she first heard Hilton’s story, she didn’t believe it, and that’s why she has kept quiet about her own “abusive” conservatorship up until now.
Paris Hilton Defends Britney Spears – Says Comments About Her In Court Were Misinterpreted
“To be honest with you, the Paris Hilton story on what they did to her at that school, I didn’t believe any of it,” the Grammy winner said during her hearing. “I’m sorry. … I’m an outsider, and I’ll just be honest, I didn’t believe it, and maybe I’m wrong and that’s why I didn’t want to say any of [my story] to the public because I thought people would make fun of me or laugh at me and say, ‘She’s lying, she’s got everything, she’s Britney Spears.’
But according to Paris Hilton, she believes that Spears’ comments were misinterpreted by the press.
“I know that she didn’t mean it in that way,” she said on her This Is Paris podcast. I think it was just a misunderstanding on the media’s part.”
In a separate Instagram post, Hilton said that she will always have love for Britney Spears and that she will always support her, too.
She said: “She is so kind and sweet, and she deserves her freedom. I’ve been saying #FreeBritney for a long time, and I will keep saying it until she is free. We all need to use our voices to protect victims of abuse. She is so incredibly brave and an inspiration for speaking her truth. I know personally how hard it is to come forward to tell your story, and so I hope Britney knows that she is so loved and supported by the world right now.”
