Paris Hilton’s Day in Court – Miami, Florida
Paris Hilton, the famed – some might even say notorious – 28-year-old heiress to the Hilton hotel dynasty, entrepreneur, sometimes actress, and businesswoman has been sued and is in trial in a Miami courtroom. She has been the talk of the town, according to Fort Lauderdale personal injury attorney Andrew Alitowski. Hilton has even made an impression on the judge. During her testimony earlier this month, Hilton had to explain her career to the judge, who is apparently not particularly familiar with MTV reality programming. The full exchange, which has not been published in entirety, was along these lines:
Paris: “I’m always working. [Part of my work obligations include filming of my television show,] ‘Paris Hilton’s My New BFF.’”
Judge: What is that?
Paris: “Paris Hilton’s My New Best Friend Forever.”
Judge: “This will be my best case forever.”
Paris: Well, “you’re my best judge forever.”
Hilton also reportedly waved hello to the judge when she took the witness stand, an unusual move that caused even the judge to comment that he’s “never had a witness wave at me before.” Broward accident attorney Alitowski says that such interaction been a judge and a witness is uncommon, but at least a smidge of lightheartedness in the courtroom is not as unheard of as many might be led to believe.
Fort Lauderdale injury attorney Alitowski says that Hilton is being sued for her alleged failure to promote the film Pledge Bomb, which was released in 2006 and performed poorly. Hilton claims to have no personal knowledge of her obligations, as her schedule is maintained by “handlers” who whisk the busy socialite to her many obligations. During her testimony, Hilton described herself as a “brand” as well as a “businesswoman,” Broward accident lawyer Alitowski has learned. Due to the nature of her work schedule, Hilton maintained that if she failed to meet her obligations, it was through no fault of her own. She is reportedly currently in Dubai for the filming of Paris Hilton’s My New BFF, the premise of which is that Hilton is searching for a new best friend in a reality elimination format.
