If you want to understand modern celebrity and influencer culture, you have to look back to Paris Hilton -- the original “famous for being famous” icon of our era. The kind of celebrity Paris established (and influencers who've built on her legacy) are still despised by many. Yet while disliking the values Paris represented was (and is) valid, she was also subject to a shocking level of misogynistic bullying by the 00s media. We can question some of the trends she signaled, admire her for her business cunning, and feel bad for her as a human being all at once. Here’s our Take on why the world blamed Paris, and how she helped usher in the surreal world of famesque pseudo-event driven omni-celebrity we’re living in today.
