The iconic photo of Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan in 2006, has an ‘uncomfortable’ background story and the heir tells it all.
On a Thursday episode of her iHeartRadio podcast This is Paris, Hilton remembered the night the trio was photographed in her car, surrounded by photographers in Los Angeles. Although it seems that the biggest names in pop culture were the girls night, there was drama in the car.
“So it was one night that Britney and I went out, and we were at the Beverly Hills Hotel, and we were at our friend’s party, and then we decided to leave because we wanted to go home,” Hilton reveals. . “And we just walked to the car and suddenly swarmed through tons of paparazzi. Just as we were walking to the car, Lindsay came up. It was quite uncomfortable, because at this point we were just a little bit of drama.”
Hilton went on to say, ‘When I got in the car, one of the paparazzi yelled at me,’ Is it true that you hit Lindsay? “And at that moment, I suddenly see Lindsay walking up to us and saying, ‘Why don’t you just ask her?’ And Lindsay said … “No, of course not” … something like, “No, Paris would never hit me, I’ve known her since I was 15.” It was basically just not admitting what she did. It was quite awkward to be asked the question, and then it was just weird how the whole thing happened. ‘
When Hilton tried to drive away from the hungry photographers and flash light bulbs, ‘I looked, and she’s in my car,’ she said. “And we did not get along, so I was polite.” Hilton told the same story in 2018, adding that she did not make a further scene because: “I did not want to humiliate her in front of all the paparazzi and be like ‘Get out of my car’.” that she and Spears went back to her house and went to sleep. ‘There was no Uber back then [Lohan] probably called a taxi. I have no idea, ‘she said.
Lohan also insisted that Hilton did not hit her, and in 2018 told paparazzi: “She never did. She’s a good girl.” Hilton later described her in an Instagram comment as a “pathological liar”.
Since that night, photos and videos of the encounter (and speculative stories) have made a history of celebrities and live the image of coffee mugs, car screens and pins. Hilton even had fun with a 2019 tribute photo featuring a Spears impersonator and a statue of Queen Elizabeth in place of Lohan.
That year, then What happens live‘s Andy Cohen asked Hilton for three nice features about the Mean girls star, Hilton replied, “She’s farther,” as she suffocated her laughter. “Lamb and embarrassment.” A Lohan spokesman responded with a statement to Our Weekly: “It is clear that Paris must feel relevant and desperate for attention.”
Hilton said on her podcast that she and Lohan used to be stiff until “she did some things that really hurt me and just betrayed my confidence and caused a lot of drama.” The couple ended their friendship with ‘on and off’ contact, but the heir let go of resentment.
‘But when I think about it, we were just so young and immature, and it’s just like the high school drama, especially in the LA scene, and having to live it out in public, while the media is constantly trying to stir things up. up and make things even worse than they are … ‘she said. “At the time, the media really enjoyed fighting girls with each other … but when I think about it now, I’m not someone who has grudges. I just feel that life is too short and I hope it goes well with her.”
Meanwhile, Hilton and Spears have been friends for years. As Hilton told SiriusXMs Andy Cohen Live in September, “She is so sweet and so innocent and such a beautiful girl.”
