Paris Hilton Throws Tantrum After Tense “The View” Appearance

(ABC)

Paris Hilton has no love lost for “The View.”

The socialite, whose much-publicized return to reality TV with “The World According to Paris” fell flat in the ratings, was on the morning talk show on Wednesday to plug her comeback.

But Hilton was so upset with the grilling Barbara Walters gave her (including questions about her sincerity in wanting to do charity work, and why she felt the need to complain about community service), the heiress and father Rick Hilton “berated” a producer off-camera for Walters’ tone, according to the New York Post.

A rep for “The View” confirmed the incident.

In the wake of her appearance, Hilton canceled a lunch with Rolling Stone editors, citing illness, before jetting off to Spain.

    Not surprised. I saw that show and was surprised by the tenor of the questions Barbara was asking her. Not that they weren’t justified but Barbara claims the Hiltons are friends so I didn’t expect it.

    I was not surprised by the tenor of the interview– as I watched my DVR’d episode. It is surprising that Paris was taken by “surprise” by the questions. She has a short memory. Barbara, on the other hand, went pretty far out on a limb years ago (when Paris was “released” from jail) by talking about Paris’ sincerity to do charitable work as a means of amends.

    Hell hath no fury like Barbara scorned!

    You can’t go on The View & expect sugar coating. Even if Barbara is friends with the family. Paris contradicts herself. First says her show is not “scripted” like the other reality shows and hers is real. Then when Barbara asks about the charity comment Paris is all “it was a joke for the show, it’s gotta be entertaining”. So it’s real but she purposely is trying to make it more entertaining? Lame excuse!

    I can only imagine the tantrum she threw when she saw the ratings the show.

  • Brenda

    Perhaps. if enough interviewers upset the poor little tramp, she will go away. Heres hopeing.

    Paris didn’t deserve how she was treated – but she handled it beautifully – very dignified!!

    If you just ignore her she’ll go away. She doesn’t do anything and has no talent, so it should be easy to ignore her unless she goes on another druggy binge and winds up driving the wrong way on the freeway as you are driving along. As for Walters, she was asking a question that anybody would ask if they weren’t on a mission to kiss Hilton’s behind.

    She’s a talentless, useless, average-looking, over-indulged little twerp. If it weren’t for Daddy’s money and influence, she wouldn’t even be in the running for Miss Hog Waller, Our Town, USA.

    Really, I am surprised that Barbara asked it on the show if she was a family friend, but, IF SHE REALLY IS A FAMILY FRIEND, Barbara might have felt USED sticking up for PARIS by saying she was changing and doing Charity Work and then hearing that Paris makes fun of it. Except when she needs it for filming. Barbara no doubt had assistants dig and look to see if Paris was doing it and No Doubt had others go up to her and say ‘you are sticking up for that twit? she makes fun of homeless, poor, etc etc.’ I have no doubt that Barbara addressed it to at least one of Paris’s parents or Paris herself and probably got that stupid ‘it was for the show’ OFF THE VIEW and it infuriated her! and when she heard Paris wanted to come on the View (and thought she would be treated with kid gloves), Barbara would make sure she was on that day and NOT WEAR KID GLOVES. I am surprised the ratings tanked though, I thought some would watch it as a joke to see how Paris conceived the world. I could not be bothered. I am surprised it is on OWN. Actually, OWN has gotten trashy lately, like TLC so, maybe I should not be so surprised. Good for US for not tuning in, good for OWN for losing money..(hopefully). NOW, we we all can resist the other shows, rags, sites like that and maybe they will disappear and shows, stories with better values will come back… doubt it, but I will take 100 Michael J. Fox types over 1 Charlie Sheen any day

  • Joelstmarseille

    uh you think she was DIGNIFIED?? Hello, the girls is a twit and can’t even defend herself! She has publicly spoken about how she wants to “help” women in prison yet she didn’t even properly respond to Barbara’s question. The girl is a total MORON and you are defending her? For shame! You must be American… duh!

    What I don’t get, is why a worthless piece of sh1t like Hilton is even given the time of day by a more serious daytime talk show. I didn’t know The View had turned into E! Tonight. What next? Justin Beiber as a guest host? What possible reason would they have, to have her on. What would she talk about? Her over pampered self in a trashy reality show? Is that what The View considers worth plugging, these days? I thought The View had standards. I never thought they’d ever sink so low as to have Parisite Hilton on. Seriously, wtf was she doing on The View? How the f did she even get asked on? It makes no sense.

  • Brandi

    Paris is fading to the background with the public and this is her chance to make sure she’s not forgotten. Without Nicole Richie with her this time, the show will go away.
    Shopping and parting are her passions and business comes second. And what a pig she is with the food. Come on. If you want to be taken seriously, than act more mature and go on with your life and you’ll just be another memory. Ex-con working with ex-con’s is nothing new Paris, did you forget your jail time, I know the public hasn’t.

  • LTH

    I don’t really care if Paris was upset but I can tell you this, you’d have to pay me to watch The View. all those women yakking their heads off without any protocol or respect for anyone’s opinion but their own All that cross-talk. White noise. Not my idea of entertainment.

    about time someone challenged her – so she got upset – spoiled brat and good for the view hosts to question her on her so called charities -

    I do volunteer work, have barely a middle class income, and enjoy doing it. Paris seems to be doing “charity work” to project an improved image. Its those who do this kind of work on the side without anyone every finding out about it, or who talk about it only to get others involved who earn my respect. Paris is just following some image handbook.

  • Phreviewz

    We tuned in to see and hear Paris Hilton, not to see the women of The View and their opinions. Very disappointed by the way The View handled Paris as a guest, they didn’t give her enough time for her fans to enjoy the interview. Have to add that if any of the women on the show had to do community service, would they whistle in the morning while getting ready for it? Paris was being honest. We like the show “The World According to Paris” Very entertaining. phreviewz
