Fame can bring a lot of perks—money, red carpet events, and rubbing elbows with the rich and famous. But it also means living under constant scrutiny, something Paris Hilton knows all too well.
Recently, Paris faced an unpleasant situation when internet trolls started making cruel comments about her baby son’s appearance. The reality TV star and businesswoman had to defend her 9-month-old son, Phoenix Barron, after negative remarks about his head size.
Paris and her husband, Carter Reum, welcomed Phoenix earlier this year with the help of a surrogate. This marked their first child together, though Carter has a daughter named Evie from a previous relationship. They’ve been adjusting to parenthood with love and dedication.
While on a trip to New York, Paris posted a photo of herself holding her son. Some internet users left hurtful comments about Phoenix’s head size, with one person saying, “Man got a lot of thoughts up there,” and another mentioning, “I heard this baby was created in a lab.” Other people also added their own negative comments.
Paris didn’t hold back when responding to the criticism. She voiced her frustration, saying, “There are some sick people in this world. My angel is perfectly healthy. And yes, of course, he has been to a doctor, he just has a large brain.” She also shared how close she is with her family and that they’ve been very supportive: “I’m always calling my mom and my sister [Nicky Hilton] for advice, and I’m really lucky to have such a big support group.”
This incident highlights that even celebrities like Paris Hilton aren’t immune to online negativity. It’s important to remember that children should be off-limits for criticism. Paris’ response shows the love and protection she has for her son, standing up to the trolls with strength.
