Paris Hilton responded in October 2023 after photos of her son Phoenix during his first trip to New York drew cruel comments about his head. She said he was healthy and had seen a doctor, and later described being heartbroken by the remarks.
What prompted Paris Hilton to respond?
Hilton posted photos with Phoenix during his first visit to New York, where she was appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Entertainment Tonight reported that the Instagram post attracted both supportive messages and cruel jokes about the baby’s head. Hilton did not address the commenters’ speculation as a medical assessment; her response was about Phoenix’s wellbeing and the treatment of a child online. Entertainment Tonight, October 23, 2023.
What did Hilton say about Phoenix’s health?
Hilton replied in the comments on a TikTok video drawing attention to the remarks. As quoted by Entertainment Tonight, she wrote: “My angel is perfectly healthy. And yes, of course he has been to a doctor, he just has a large brain.” This was Hilton’s statement about her son; the coverage does not establish an independent medical finding.
How did she describe the comments afterward?
In an Instagram Story, Hilton said that public attention came with inevitable comments, but that targeting a child was unacceptable. The Independent reported her wording: “Living life in the spotlight, comments are inevitable, but targeting my child, or anyone else’s for that matter, is unacceptable.” She also said the public response had hurt her deeply.
