Paris Hilton, the oft-beleaguered hotel heiress and reality TV success, is battling her latest demon in the form of a lawsuit from her fiancé's ex-girlfriend.
Zeta Graff, onetime lover to Paris Lastis, has filed a $10 million slander lawsuit against Hilton for causing "vicious lies" to be published in the New York Post. The article in question described a June 1 incident in which Graff and Hilton clashed at a London nightclub. Graff allegedly approached and "attacked" Hilton in an attempt to rip a necklace from the heiress' throat. The $4 million necklace had been loaned to Hilton by Graff Diamonds, a company run by the plaintiff's ex-husband.
According to Graff, the Post story is completely fabricated and contains not "even a scintilla of truth." Graff believes that Hilton is out to get her, and claims that the Simple Life star approached her on the night of the alleged attack with a whispered threat to "destroy" her.
Graff has enlisted the help of several top lawyers, and is confident that she will win the case. She does have a decent legal track record, as she recently won $18 million in a divorce settlement from ex-husband Francois Graff.
Hilton has faced a plethora of legal and other troubles since her infamous sex tape hit the Internet in 2003. Recently, she has avoided theft charges for stealing a copy of the tape from a West Hollywood newsstand, faced the wrath of fellow celebrities after a computer hacker broke into her mobile phone and distributed their contact information, had a public feud with Simple Life costar Nicole Richie, and come under fire from the Parents Television Council for her racy Carl's Jr. hamburger ad.
she looks like a drag queen
Has anyone seen the "before" pictures of Paris Hilton? Before meaning before she bleached her hair blonde and bought her a set of blue contact lenses. I used to think she was funny but now I think she is dumb. Why do rich people think that they can get away with just about anything?<br />
<br />
We should be concentrating more on her sister, Nicky.
While I couldn't care less one way or the other about Paris (or Paris, for that matter), wouldn't Graff need to prove that Hilton was the driving force behind the article? Sounds like that would be hard to do.
10 million? Paris Hilton spends more than that on a makeover for her dog.
i think paris hilton deserves to be sued but..............i think she likes getting attention for this even if it is this kind of attention.........stupid paris hilton
Not surprising at all. Never liked her. No talent, not even pretty. just born rich!Such shameful behavior, I don't even know what people see in her.
I like Paris, but she is a scandal magnet. Anyone will sue anyone for money, people are so greedy these days.
What does Paris Hilton and the Dixie Chicks have in common? Wide Open Spaces
this doesnt suprise me
Will she just behave herself? Life before she was this country's favorite bad girl was great. I don't care what she does, she is just tabloid fodder. I hope she loses her money. Maybe have her family go bankrupt so she can earn her money like a normal person.
You go solgrifter! <br />
Also, what is 10 million REALLY for Paris Hilton? What... like a dollar right?
Why Lord why, do we care so much about this woman? She does nothing and makes lousy pornos that get used for charity, or so I'm told. Maybe if we all prey really hard, she'll she'll become useful.
