Paris Hilton's Paris in Love storyline might be all about romance on the surface, but she is also showing off her savvy in other areas, including politics and business. From DJing and social media posts to selling products and running a brand new media company, Paris is a workaholic. While her endless focus on business has led to great success, her workload may seem overwhelming. In an effort to heal, she's shifted her focus to political change.
After surpassing her financial goals, Paris started to recognize how her traumas still haunt her. She said her work ethic is a way of maintaining a sense of control that she lost when she was sent to youth facilities. Paris opened up in This is Paris about the abuse she faced. On Paris in Love, she revealed to her therapist that she avoids confrontation as a result. The tendency has led her to become a people pleaser who says yes to everything work-related.
While Paris can't entirely escape her mother's controlling nature when it comes to her wedding planning, work is the one space she has complete dominion over. Not only does Paris engage in endless business deals, but she's also working to change laws linked with the youth centers where she faced abuse. Paris's therapist suggested that she doesn't give herself sufficient credit for what she is capable of doing. Long gone are the days of Kathy Hilton tracking her down. Looking away from her traumatic history and toward a brighter future, Paris shared, "like so much good is happening. Like, I'm going to Washington, D.C., next month and introducing my federal bill. I've already changed laws in seven states." She followed up, "that has been helpful to me." Anyone who doubts the intelligence of any person who uses "like" more than twice in a statement hasn't taken a closer look at Paris.
Paris has taken her phenomenal work ethic from the entertainment space and applied it to politics. She is determined to end abuse in the troubled teen industry, and her desire for positive change is much like Kim Kardashian's prison reform work, Members of congress might remember her 2008 campaign ad. John McCain used Paris to draw parallels to Barack Obama's celebrity status. Paris clapped back with her own ad on Funny or Die, saying, "that wrinkly white-haired guy used me in his campaign ad, which I guess means I'm running for president."
In response to the energy debate (an even more daunting issue today), she suggested a hybrid of McCain and Obama's plans, featuring limited offshore drilling with strict environmental oversight, plus tax incentives to promote "clean energy" vehicle manufacturing. New York Magazine credited her with winning the political ad battle. With the climate crisis in full swing, it might be time for Paris to chime in again.
Paris is a force to be reckoned for many reasons, including her power moves in Washington D.C., her vulnerability in therapy, and her adult relationship. Long gone are days of The Simple Life and House of Wax. She's taken the intellect that has earned her megabucks and used it to better her own life. She's also improving the lives of those who have experienced mistreatment at youth camps. Paris in Love shows how brilliant, industrious, and resilient Paris is, like never before.
Paris in Love is streaming on Peacock with new episodes weekly.
