aris Hilton wants you to know she didn’t vote for Donald Trump. She didn’t vote at all, actually, contrary to what she told an Australian morning show in November, just a week after her family’s longtime friend made his surprising ascent to the presidency. But if she had voted, would she have voted for Trump? You already know the unfortunate answer.
“I’ve known him since I was a little girl. And he’s always been so nice, so respectful, and sweet," she told writer Irin Carmon in a Marie Claireinterview and in further excerpts from the conversation that Carmon posted on Twitter. While Hilton told Carmon that she identifies as a feminist (“I just feel it’s about women’s empowerment and girl power, and I’m very into that”), she revealed that she wasn’t bothered by Trump’s comments to Howard Stern, where he described first meeting Hilton at age 12 (“The first time I saw her she walked into the room, I said, ‘Who the hell is that?’”).
Hilton also didn’t mind Trump’s comments in the Access Hollywood tape where he made his now infamous “grab them by the pussy” comment on a hot mic, saying she believes that he wouldn’t assault a woman. But what about the many women who have come forward claiming that Trump has done just that?

“I think that they are just trying to get attention and get fame. I feel like, a lot of people, when something happens all these opportunists will come out,” she said. “They want to get money or to get paid to not say anything or get a settlement when nothing really happened. So I don’t believe any of that. And I’m sure that they were trying to be with him, too. Because a lot of women, I’ve seen, like him because he’s wealthy and he’s charming and good-looking so I feel like a lot of these girls just made the story up. I didn’t really pay attention to it. I heard a couple things about it. I don’t believe it.”
Hilton knows a thing or two about what it takes to get attention, which apparently includes saying good things about unpopular public figures. But accusing over a dozen women of lying about sexual assault has never been in her arsenal of tactics before, and this seems like an especially strange time to add it into the mix. Though given Trump’s influence on Hilton’s early life, perhaps we shouldn’t wonder why she can’t seem to stop herself from saying the wrong thing.
