Meghan Markle's podcast guest Paris Hilton once branded 'racist' over use of the 'N-word'

express.co.uk:

Meghan Markle apologised to Paris Hilton onscreen for judging the heiress on her youthful beauty. Meanwhile, unearthed footage has surfaced revealing the star of The Simple Life making use of the "N-word" during one of her wild nights partying back in 2001, though she sought it to explain it by saying she was drunk.Paris, now 41, twirled around the dance floor with her sister Nicky in throwback footage from her partying days, describing the pair of them as being "like two n****rs" while dancing to Notorious B.I.G's Hypnotise.Though she intended the comments as a joke, some anti-racism campaigners have fought to prevent casual use of the word, and so it was interpreted as "grossly offensive".During the Paris Hilton Exposed video footage, the irritated-looking heiress also jeered about a "f****t" on the dancefloor with her, who she insisted "wants to f**k my boyfriend".The video circulated widely online, and caused quite a stir, although Paris seemed unscathed by the publicity, going on to front the hugely successful TV series The Simple Life.By her side on the show was sidekick Nicole Richie, who is part Creole, but was her best friend at the time.Her publicist, Elliot Mintz, spoke out at the time that the footage surfaced to insist she wasn't racist, and had simply made a mistake."I’m not going to make any attempt to spin this.

It happened. I’m not going to deny it," Elliot told Page Six.However, he added: "Each of us has used words we have regretted later [and] she was 20 at the time."She had been obviously drinking [when she made the comments].She sincerely regrets using those words.She is not a racist."Paris herself has always angrily dismissed subsequent claims of racism that surfaced online.Meanwhile, now that.
