In her first interview since being released from jail, Paris Hilton told CNN’s Larry King on Wednesday that she has never used drugs, isn’t a big drinker, and although she feels her incarceration was unwarranted, God had a reason for putting her there.
Being incarcerated, Hilton said, provided “time to get to know myself” and she has emerged from the jail cell with a determination to eliminate the bad elements, and bad friends, from her life. She also promised King, “I’m just going to follow all the laws.”
Grilled about the friends she had to sacrifice, she replied, “I’ve gotten rid of a lot of people.” Asked for names, she said, “I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings, but they know who they are.”
Asked three times if she has ever used or been addicted to drugs, she replied flatly, “No.” Asked if she was a big drinker, Hilton told King, “I’m not really into it. I think socially people do sometimes when they go out, but it’s not something that I really care about.”
She added, “People make up so many crazy stories. The things I read about and things I see is not the person who I am. It really baffles me sometimes when I read things — the places I’ve never been, people I’ve never met — it’s really shocking to me.”
King: “Ever taken drugs?”
Hilton: “No.”
King said it best in a post-interview interview with his colleague Paula Zahn: “I think there is a kind of denial over having done anything wrong. She denies having used drugs ever.” Of course, the fact that, after claiming to have passed her time in jail reading the Bible she couldn’t tell King a favorite passage, didn’t win her points either.
