Fame and notoriety might seem glamorous, with all the perks like a constant influx of money, glamorous red carpet occasions, and hobnobbing with the upper echelons of society. But life under the public gaze also brings a fair amount of scrutiny and being judged.
Paris Hilton has had a first-hand taste of this throughout her time in the limelight.
However, things took an ugly and distressing turn not long ago when heartless internet trolls targeted the appearance of her baby son.
The reality TV star-turned-businesswoman was recently compelled to defend her 9-month-old son, Phoenix Barron, after mean-spirited remarks about his head size emerged on her social media platforms.
Paris, renowned for her unshakable self-assurance, didn’t waste a moment in taking a stand and safeguarding her eldest child.
Paris and her husband, Carter Reum, welcomed Phoenix into their family via a surrogate earlier this year, and this is their first child together (Carter has a daughter named Evie from a prior relationship). As new parents, they’ve been experiencing the pleasures and difficulties of raising a child with affection and dedication.
Recently, the young family embarked on a trip to New York, and Paris shared a picture of herself cradling her son.
In the comments area, people made some shockingly cruel remarks regarding the size of Phoenix’s head. Hurtful comments such as “Man got a lot of thoughts up there” and “I heard this baby was created in a lab. And she didn’t carry it” were posted, and others joined in with their own negative opinions.
Reacting to the unjust criticism, Paris eloquently expressed her exasperation, stating: “There are some truly sick individuals in this world. My angel is in perfect health. And, yes, he has of course been to the doctor. He simply has a large brain.”
She further added: “My parents are utterly smitten with him. I’m constantly calling my mom and my sister [Nicky Hilton] for advice, and I’m really fortunate to be so close to my family, as I have such a strong support network.”
This recent occurrence serves as a poignant reminder that even celebrities are not shielded from online criticism and hatred. Children should always be spared from any form of negativity and criticism, and Paris’ determination to fend off the cruel trolls clearly demonstrates the unwavering love she holds for her son.
