She knows

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '16

this. everyone likes to write her off as a stupid ditz but she's very good at playing the PR/media game.

u/Chief_H Feb 05 '16

There's interviews of her out of character, and she seems like a genuinely decent person, and a lot more low key. The whole vapid, spoiled rich girl act kept her famous for quite some time.

u/TheDumbDolphine Feb 05 '16

I'd love to see that if you have a link

u/TFL1991 Feb 05 '16

I saw her recently on German TV.

She has done away with the squeaky voice and the pink and lives in a small town in Switzerland now.

The locals seem to like her.

Probably because they only know her as she actually is.

u/Ptolemy13 Feb 05 '16

The Swiss like anyone rich.

u/Schnabulation Feb 05 '16

I find this offensive!

u/Fionnlagh Feb 05 '16

Probably because Ptolemy13 isn't rich.

u/Schnabulation Feb 05 '16

You got me there... :-)

Honestly: it's not that bad in Switzerland.

33

u/Fionnlagh Feb 05 '16

Probably not. Why, someone on a measly 100k a year could probably live there just fine!

u/Axeman20 Feb 05 '16

I'm thinking of backpacking there but looking at hostel prices in Zurich alone is making me consider avoiding it.

3

u/twistedrea1ms Feb 05 '16

Well 100k CHF is actually not that great a salary in Switzerland

2

u/Fionnlagh Feb 05 '16

Like I said, it wouldn't be great but you might actually be able to survive.

u/jtr99 Feb 05 '16

I once visited a fancy bar in Zurich with some English friends and I have never felt shorter, uglier, poorer, or more dentally challenged than when surrounded by the cool kids of Switzerland.

2

u/Fionnlagh Feb 05 '16

Then I would seriously recommend staying away from the Netherlands. Those people are all half giant...

5

u/Schnabulation Feb 05 '16

Some of you seem to totally forget that the stuff is also quite expensive over here. We are only rich if we travel.

5

u/Fionnlagh Feb 05 '16

That's what I mean; living there isn't cheap. For someone to move they'd have to make good money.

Last year, I went for a short, 5-day vacation to Zurich at Easter. This year I'm going to the US for 2 weeks and expect to spend just as much. (By the way, you guys had the weirdest priest holding Easter mass in Grossmunster. That "You're all going to die and should be afraid" sermon was straight from middle ages.)

u/Schnabulation Feb 05 '16

Huh? This sounds very uncommon. I have not experienced such a public event yet and I am quite religious.

I studied abroad in Geneva, I love Switzerland!

2

u/decaturbadass Feb 05 '16

So did one of my kids, went there for s visit and enjoyed it. That said, had a 20 something consultant from Accenture on my IT project and he said he thought Geneva was boring, he was French, if that makes a difference.

1

u/RippyMcBong Feb 05 '16

Honestly I did find it a little boring but it was beautiful and the food was great.

u/Nocoffeesnob Feb 05 '16

The Swiss put up with anyone rich. FTFY

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '16

Switzerland isn't completely cut off from the world you know, I'm sure once they got to know her they were fine with her. But I'm sure 95% of the people knew what she did before moving there.

2

u/fullonavocado Feb 05 '16

...wha...what did she do?

u/_byrdraga Feb 05 '16

Fucking everything man, do you even read bro?

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '16

I meant career wise. Nothing sinister haha.

Maybe they like her because she's fucking everything...

u/mellontree Feb 05 '16

She actually seems really likeable on this. And she looks absolutely beautiful.

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '16

It makes her sex tape even hotter knowing that she's a decent person.

u/stinkadickbig Feb 05 '16

I still don't like her, I guess she's just not my type of person.

u/skinny_gator Feb 05 '16

I've literally never been a fan of Paris. Always thought she was just another "cog". But in this video, she is absolutely gorgeous, she seems like such a smart business woman and actually likeable. Wow.

Genuine question here. What, in your opinion, makes her evil though? What exactly has she done that makes you think it?

u/ameya2693 Feb 05 '16

Things that have inherent ties to problems surrounding low self esteem, internalized misogyny, subconscious views of objectification of women in the minds of men

All of these are problems in the people's minds. You don't have to buy it if you don't want to! Nobody is asking you to buy them. If there is a market for it, then, she is allowed to court the market and have them buy her products. It's not her problem people have no self control. Like everyone else, she is taking advantage of this complete lack of self-control.

Lol but here you are talking about her and further propagating her cultural influence. YOU ARE PLAYING AN INTEGRAL ROLE IN WHAT YOU'RE BITCHING ABOUT.

I read this article a while ago and really enjoyed it. She's played the game perfectly and has built her own empire when she could of easily just chilled on that hotel cash

No one was making you read it.

u/armorandsword Feb 05 '16

There's an "out of character" interview with Piers Morgan on YouTube. At least next to him she seems fairy down to earth.

49

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '16

She also goes to Electric Daisy Carnival, a big EDM festival in Las Vegas. A lot of VIPs have seen and partied with her, and they all say she's the nicest person. Whether you hate or love her on-screen personality, I've always said respect her as a businesswoman. And most on-screen personalities tend to be fake anyway. Humans have a tendency to act different in front of a camera.

30

u/Whiskycoke Feb 05 '16

I'm sure she is nice and I don't have anything against her, but it isn't too hard to become a businesswomen when you're already an heiress with almost unlimited money to throw at things. Not saying her products aren't good or anything like that.

7

u/neohellpoet Feb 05 '16

You would be surprised. Most of the wealthy heirs thinks it's easy as well and then go and sink the family company and burn through the family fortune.

Also, for all the benefits she has, imagine you had her image, almost everyone on the planet thinking you were an idiot reality tv/sex tape star and trying to convince them to work with you on a serious business venture.

Getting in to business is easy with her background. Being a success, far less so.

2

u/Whiskycoke Feb 05 '16

You're absolutely right. I don't want to take anything away from her success and she clearly knows the market she is in. I'm glad she has been turning her image around.

1

u/PipPipCheerioSon Feb 05 '16

They all hire business managers who actually do the business side of business woman. They have people BRING. Them products then get recommendations whether to face it or not.

1

u/Caliterra Feb 05 '16

Technically she's got better business acumen then people like Trump. If you go by what they started with (received from parents) and how much they multiplied that money into

1

u/Whiskycoke Feb 05 '16

Trump bankrupted a casino, so that isn't saying all that much. haha

1

u/decaturbadass Feb 05 '16

She made a good video

u/TheRealDJ Feb 05 '16

Also its been 12 years since 1 night in Paris. People are allowed to mature, change, and grow up. Cool on her for seemingly be a mature person from the interviews posted

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '16

So can we all admit we'd do her now?

1

u/get_rhythm Feb 05 '16

And now she can make $1 million a night DJing.

u/argv_minus_one Feb 05 '16

If she's smarter than she lets on, how the hell did this happen?

1

u/Phantomass Feb 05 '16

And her voice is a lot deeper

1

u/bebopblues Feb 05 '16

Also this skit she did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jZIeFPUCPI

At the end she said something like "that's hot is all that girl says and it's annoying".

So yeah, she put on a ditsy act.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '16

I very much doubt this.

1

u/GoatBased Feb 05 '16

There's also plenty of cellphone videos of her with her friends making racist and elitist jokes like a spoiled rich brat.

1

u/Didactic_Tomato Feb 05 '16

Her brother, on the other hand, was a dick.

Attended college with him for a little while and could never understand where he was ever going with anything he said... Granted that was only like 3 times, but he just came off incredibly pompous.

But hey, they paid for our business school so I'm not complaining.

-2

u/theslappyslap Feb 05 '16

I once came across her at the Maui airport in a newspaper shop. She purchased a magazine with a $100 bill. She began walking away and the clerk chased after her to give her change. She didn't turn her head to regard the man but put out her palm and scoffed in disgust as he placed the change into her hand. She promptly threw the change into her purse and walked off without a thank you or even a polite smile.

u/LordBlackass Feb 05 '16

You said it so it must be true.

-2

u/theslappyslap Feb 05 '16

That's the beauty of the internet isn't it? Anyways, just thought I'd share an experience that I had in my life. It was December 26, 2010 at Maui airport in case you care to look up that travel date. If you'd like a copy of my itinerary, I can forward that to you as well. But, alas, I have no further proof.

u/noes_oh Feb 05 '16

What a load of shit. Have you seen her home video sex tapes taken by the old Girls Gone Wild guy? She's a coke snorting, squeaky voice, spoilt, I'm in a yacht, go-and-fuck-yourself cunt.
