Paris Hilton Opens Up About Her “real” Bling Ring Experience & It’s Kinda Interesting

(I never post about Paris because well I just don’t but here it goes, kind of interesting.)

Hilton recently sat down with The Daily Beast and talked about being robbed by the group and how she’s no longer the same party girl she once was .

Reading the court documents, it seems the burglars entered through your front door because a key was hidden under a mat right by it.
In my gated community, nobody used to even lock their doors because there are guards there, and it’s a gated community. I don’t even think there was a burglary there until this happened. My housekeeper had been there and left the key under the mat for me, so they took the key, made a copy of it, and brought it back. The kids basically had their own copy of the key and broke into my home, like, six times.

And you hadn’t really noticed until the final time, when they stole something like $2 million in jewelry from you.
Yeah. All the other times they came and would steal designer gowns, designer handbags, sunglasses, or anything else designer, they would take it. When they figured out where my safe was in my jewelry closet room, that’s when they did “the big hit,” and I realized it. Both of my grandmothers had passed away in the past couple of years and left me jewelry that had been in my family for ages that I’ll never be able to replace. Awful.

All of the Bling Ring members are out of prison now. What are your feelings toward them?
They completed violated me. Every time I come home, I’m scared someone might be in there. The fact that they tried to steal my dog, were laying in my bed, and chilling in my house while I was gone makes me sick. They better never see me. My brother [Barron] actually saw one of them in a club and looked at the owner and said, “That’s one of the kids that stole from my sister,” and they threw him out and blacklisted him.

It’s an interesting paradox because you seemingly rose to prominence based on the media and public’s celebrity obsession, and then were subsequently targeted by these people because of that very obsession. What do you think the Bling Ring’s bizarre actions say about our celebrity obsession?

[Pause] I think it’s just out of control. It’s crazy to see. When I was a little girl growing up, I didn’t care about celebrities; I just cared about animals and wanted to be a veterinarian. Nowadays, kids are obsessed with becoming famous. It’s a scary world to grow up in, especially in L.A. I’d be afraid to raise my daughters in this town the way it is.

You are tabloid fodder less these days. But was there a period where you had a similar desire to be famous?

I didn’t really think about it. This was before reality TV was out. Me and Nicole [Richie] just got offered The Simple Life and it was a big hit, and we didn’t know we’d have to do it for so many seasons. We had fun doing it, but it was just a whole new world for us. Nowadays, I’m busy traveling around the world. I just opened my 44th “Paris Hilton” store and launched my 15th fragrance. I feel like I’ve grown up and become who I really am, which is a businesswoman. I try to stay away from that “scene.” I’m just over it. I’ve been going out for so long, and now when I’m at an event or a party, I’m being paid to be there or I’m there for my products or my brand. Now it’s just about business. I don’t enjoy going out like I used to.

Interesting girl, sounds like she’s matured a bit..
