Paris Hilton has two lawsuits pending against her. One is $10 million defamation case filed by Zeta Graff for a story that Paris invented about Graff attacking her in a night club in July, 2005. Paris arranged to have the fabricated incident leaked to Page Six, which is otherwise a bastion of responsible journalism.
There is another defamation lawsuit against Paris by party planner Brian Quintana. He was granted a three year restraining order against her after she made threatening phone calls to him, famously calling him a “lazy Mexican.” Quintana was friends with Paris, until he is said to have told Paris’ boyfriend, Stavros Niarchos III, to dump her to get back with Mary-Kate Olsen.
Paris is not allowed to get within 100 yards of Quintana, unless they’re at the same party.
Now Quintana is willing to drop the lawsuit - if Paris will show up at the launch of the nightclub he’s now running, Teddy’s, which was recently closed for underage drinking and mismanagement.
He explains, “I don’t want to drag out a lengthy legal battle. I need people to know they can trust me because I’ll be around for years. “So, for a small fee, I’m asking her to make an appearance with me (at Teddy’s).” He’ll even drop the restraining order, which prevents Hilton from coming within 25 yards (75 metres) of the party planner when they’re at the same event, and 100 yards (300 feet) at all other times.
That’s pretty generous and business-savvy of Quintana. Whether Paris shows up or not, he just got a ton of free publicity for the club.
Here she is getting out of her car. I know - thrilling - but she does seem to get caught behind the pop-up door for a moment.
