Paris Hilton
© AFP/File Torsten Blackwood03 Feb 2007 (Sawf News) - The authenticity of a home video showing Paris Hilton using racial slurs while dancing in a house party has been confirmed by none other than Elliot Mintz, Paris’ publicist.
"I'm not going to make any attempt to spin this. It happened. I'm not going to deny it happened," Mintz, told Page Six.
"Each of us has used words we have regretted later. This was six years ago. She was 20 at the time. It was New Year's Eve. She had been obviously drinking. She sincerely regrets using those words. She is not a racist or an anti-Semite."
The video is part of a "treasure trove" of Paris' debauchery that made its way to ParisExposed.com. Till the site was shut down recently, it allowed members to peruse personal photos, videos, diaries, medical records, passport and other legal document of Paris Hilton for a fee of $39.97.
The existence of the racial slur video became known to the world at large when it was posted on video sharing sites such as Youtube.com. Not surprisingly, soon after being posted on Youtube.com the video was removed from the site because it violated norms.
Establishing the authenticity of the video has taken some time.
The video shows Paris and sister Nicky on the dance floor proudly declaring, "We're like two n - - - - - s."
Several times while dancing Paris is heard screaming "faggot" at another dancer.
The video corroborates Paris' proclivity to use the N-word as alleged by her now good friend Brandon Davis two years ago to the National Enquirer after a falling out with her.
