Paris Hilton has addressed reports Ghislaine Maxwell tried to recruit her for Jeffrey Epstein after it was claimed she thought the heiress would be ‘perfect for him’
Hilton, now 44, was apparently just 19 when she was spotted by Maxwell at a party, who reportedly told friends she had set her sights on the teen for Epstein.
Maxwell, who was in a relationship with the notorious sex offender Epstein for several years in the nineties, was said to be scouring parties looking for girls who would date him.
Maxwell was later convicted and sentenced for her role as Epstein’s ‘chief recruiter’ and a partner in his sex trafficking operation.
However, despite Maxwell’s alleged intentions for Hilton, the mother of two has insisted that she ‘doesn’t remember ever meeting her’.
During a new interview in the Sunday Times magazine, Hilton reflected that she may have been dragged into the media storm at the time because of the weight her name carries, adding: ‘I’m such a good clickbait name.’
The revelation emerged as President Trump called on Republicans in the House to vote for the release of the so-called Epstein Files, marking a reversal from his previous position.
The vast trove of documents is made up of material the Justice Department gathered in its investigations into the convicted late sex offender, including transcripts of interviews with victims and items confiscated from raids of his properties.
More than 20,000 pages of documents have been released from the estate of the disgraced financier, revealing how he repeatedly discussed Trump in private correspondence dating from 2011 to 2019.
The claims about Maxwell’s plans for Hilton were made by a former friend of the British socialite in 2020.
Christopher Mason said Maxwell stopped in her tracks and said ‘oh my god’ when she saw a young Hilton at a party.
Maxwell said she would be ‘perfect for Jeffrey’ and told a friend: ‘Can you introduce us?’
Mason, a British journalist based in New York who has known Maxwell since the 1980s, did not give a date for the encounter.
But it appears to have been around the year 2000 when Hilton signed up to Donald Trump’s modeling agency, T management, and began her ascent to celebrity.
At that point, she would have been 19 years old and on the cusp of becoming a star.
