Conrad Hilton claimed self-defense to FBI: ‘He came up to me with his nose’

37812PCN_ParisDoug33

For all the people complaining about the photos of Conrad Hilton: I know, and I’m sorry. I think Barron and Conrad Hilton look SO much alike and I’m forced to go with the photo agency IDs, because most of the photos we have of both brothers are from a few years ago. I think both brothers look way different now, but I hope I’ve gotten some photos of Conrad (and not Barron) in this post.

As we discussed yesterday, Conrad Hilton went berserk on an international flight months ago. He was under the influence of alcohol, perhaps some sleeping pills (or so his lawyer claims) and possibly harder drugs. He yelled at and about peasants and threatened passengers. He was arrested when the plane landed and we only found out about it this week, because his last name is Hilton and not al-Jabari. Anyway, the Washington Post had so many more details about Conrad’s behavior on the plane and about his FBI interview when he was taken into custody. Here’s what Conrad admitted to the FBI:

He hadn’t been drinking on the flight, although he had taken a sleeping pill, he said in his defense. And, yeah, he had called people “peasants” on the flight.

“I told all of them I could get all of their jobs taken away in less than thirty seconds,” Hilton said, according to the complaint, as he recalled his interactions with flight attendants.

He credited a man at the back of the plane with stopping him from killing a flight attendant. “If that man wasn’t there, that guy [the flight attendant] would have been ____ killed on that flight. A hundred percent I would have killed him,” Hilton said.

In his interview with the FBI, the agent read Hilton the part of the law that would apply to this particular case. The agent read: “An individual on an aircraft in the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States who by assaulting or intimidating a flight crew member or –”

Hilton interrupted him. “I did intimidate. But, through defense. He came up to me with his nose.”

[From WaPo]

“Through defense… he came up to me with his nose.” CASE CLOSED!! WaPo has the full 17-page FBI complaint, with information and interviews from the passengers too. They say Conrad went off on “one tirade after another” starting about 30 minutes into the flight. Conrad complained that the flight attendants were ignoring him and “taking the peasants’ side.” He told people that he just broke up with his girlfriend. He told people that he had already been banned from other airlines.

At one point, the passengers apparently told the FBI that they were shocked that the plane wasn’t turned around and landed. The flight was London to LA, and if Conrad’s craziness started 30 minutes into the flight, and let’s be generous and say that an hour into the flight they realized that this kid was crazy and violent, WHY DIDN’T THEY DIVERT THE PLANE? It probably was over water by then, but they could have been diverted to land within an hour. Seriously, if a brown-skinned person had pulled this kind of nonsense, the plane would have been diverted and the charges would be something involving international terrorism.

As for the charges facing Hilton now, he could get 20 years in prison. He’s due back in court in March and he’s out on $100,000 bail. I can’t believe a terrorist is out on that lukewarm bail.

    next time, if someone threatens me, i’m going to come at them with my nose. imma brandish my nose at them like a born-again Inigo Montoya.

  2. GoodNamesAllTaken says:

    Wow. I would hide my head in shame if I had raised this young man to believe he could come to me with a petty complaint and have people lose their jobs over it. What an entitled, messed up little brat. And you’re absolutely right that had he been dark skinned, he would be dead or in jail right now. Disgusting.

    • Bridget says:

      If there’s one thing that Paris’ s shenanigans over the years have shown us is that the Hilton parents are clearly incapable of shame.

      • greenmonster says:

        ^This!

      • GingerCrunch says:

        Yes on the shameless behavior. We all get to enjoy the repercussions of that.

      • doofus says:

        I remember seeing a pic of Paris and her mother at some “club” event, and the mother was wearing a lace (no lining) top, COMPLETELY see-through, with no bra or cami. you could see EVERYTHING.

        so, yeah, no shame there.

      • Bridget says:

        @doofus: Kathy helped push her daughter into ‘fame’ because it was the next best thing to being famous herself.

      • Tiffany :) says:

        I agree, GNAT…and great point, Bridget!

      • Scarlet says:

        Read ” House of Hilton ” by Jerry Oppenheimer. You. Will. Drop. Dead. From this family’s behaviour. Drop. Dead.

    • FLORC says:

      GNAT
      My parents would have cut me off if I behaived this way. Especially shown a pattern of it.
      And how is he not ashamed of how his poor character reflects on his parents?

      BTW
      If anyone else has frontier comm I feel your pain of poor service and in and out internet connections/cable.
      Might not be able to respond to comments because connection is so poor.

    • jenniferjustice says:

      and continuing to declare, and to the FBI no less, that he would have f—ing killed that male flight attendant. Seriously, you want to kill somebody because they didn’t cater to you quickly enough – we’re using the word “KILL” here. He said it over and over again. What a frickin’ knob!!

      • Pip says:

        Yeah I really don’t get that… I mean part of his defence is that without someone to stop him he might have murdered someone??? What the hell kind of lawyer/ publicist does this kid have???

  3. AG-UK says:

    He needs a good slap. Spoiled moron.

  4. doofus says:

    UM….if he admitted to the FBI that another person prevented him from “killing” someone and that he would have done it, they need to lock him up.

    dude needs SERIOUS anger management, if he truly felt like killing someone because he wasn’t treated like the special snowflake he THINKS he is.

    • greenmonster says:

      Can’t believe that he admitted that to the FBI! That was probably hours after the incident and he still was so aggressive to say that? He wasn’t even embarrassed that he behaved this way? Or scared what might come next?
      But of course not. He was expecting Daddy and his money to come in and make it all go away. Well done, Mr. and Mrs. Hilton!

    • geekychick says:

      Dude needs to get of meth or coke, whatever it was. he took sleeping pills and then weed in the plane (!!!!), tipical downers.
      Honestly, I don’t believe he’ll get any punishment because he is not a foreigner, he’s a white rich Hilton.
      Flight attendant looked like she was ready to kick me out of the plane when I asked if the e-cig was permitted. And I just naively asked! He smoked weed on a plane, ffs! (Nothing agains weed. Everything against breaking the rules bc you feel entitled enough. )

    • Linn says:

      He really isn’t the sharpest tool in the box, is he? And did he not have a lawyer?

      I hope he get’s the punishment he deserves, but I doubt it.

    • anne_000 says:

      This guy feels so entitled that he readily admitted to the FBI that he would have seriously killed the flight attendant. Any normal person would have kept that to himself because he knows there would be dire consequences for saying that out loud, especially to the FBI. But this jackass? He obviously thinks and feels that the world isn’t about living through consequences but about being let off as lightly as possible because, like he said, mommy and daddy paid $300k last time so he wouldn’t have to inconvenience himself with anything like self-accountability and the discomforts of such.

      And Oh Boy with his getting angry because the flight attendants were servicing everybody else on the plane too and not just himself. Get a private plane next time.

      Also his admission that he’s banned on other airlines? GOOD. I hope that’s a lifetime ban too.

      And yes, a person of color would have been treated far worse, given far more aggressively physical treatment, and been treated like less than human.

      • Tiffany :) says:

        I don’t understand why he just wouldn’t have taken a charter flight. Surely the family has a subscription with NetJets or something similar, even if they don’t own their own plane. Even if they don’t have a subscription, a charter flight is MUCH cheaper than paying $300k to be an ass to others.

        It seems like he wants to be in with the public to make their lives as miserable as his.

      • Schwizzle says:

        Agreed. Definitely would have killed him. Who admits to that? Someone with a monstrous ego. I guess he has some dark side, or maybe he’s some jiu jitsu master and we all just don’t even know. Also, I agree with Tiffany. If he wants his ass kissed, buy shares in NetJets like a normal non-peasant. What a turd.

    • Pandy says:

      I think he has some warped idea that repeating how he would have killed the flight attendant gives him street cred. And I agree – if he wasn’t rich and his last name wasn’t Hilton, the plane would have been turned around and he would have been arrested.

      I think “rich” is the operative word here. i think that a rich person of color would have been treated the same way as well. At least, I like to think that (if this makes sense).

      • anne_000 says:

        I doubt that the flight attendants, air marshal, and the other passengers’ first thought when a person of color acts up like Conrad did would be to sit back and discern whether that person of color was rich or not in order to determine how to respond to him and the situation.

        How would you know anyways what his wealth was? By the cut and label of his suit if he’s wearing one?

    • Jacqueline says:

      I hope he’s having some anger problems over the fact that he’s so “famous” that we can’t even identify him in photos from the agencies.
      I hope he isn’t so “peasanty” that he can’t afford to fly private everywhere, he can’t pass TSA. Threatening to kill a flight attendant should prevent any and all future air travel. I have a feeling the peasants, like myself, would be thankful.

  5. Pinky says:

    It’s hard, being useless.

  6. RocketMerry says:

    Goodness gracious. The kid is out of his mind.

  7. savu says:

    Does terrorism really include being an a-hole on a plane? Violent and inappropriate yes, terrorism no. But I do agree that if he wasn’t a rich white kid the plane probably would’ve been diverted. I’ve heard them diverted for much less of a commotion.

    I just hope he gets huge punishment, enough to make him stop acting that way. Ugh what a gross human being. Why not just get a private jet???!

    • Nance says:

      That’s my thought too, that guy is the stupidest rich white kid, but he is not a terrorist, the people on the plane probably know he was an Hilton trash, so they didn’t do go all the way with this.

      I can understand some of your points Celebitchy, but their is a lot of real terrorists threats out there, this kid is just a jerk, a real jerk.

      • geekychick says:

        I f he was a person of colour, he’d be in jail by now. Who knows, maybe even stripped of his civil rights on terrorism charges. That would depend on his ethnicity and religion, I give you that.

      • kranky says:

        I will not say that his wealth and skin color did not influence the outcome of this situation. HOWEVER, according to the law, a terrorist is defined as one who makes a political statement through a terrorist act. And yes, some political groups closely identify with an organized religious religion.

        Bottom line: please don’t state that the only reason Hilton isn’t in a CIA black box somewhere is because of his skin color or his religion – which… do we even know he claims a religion? Your statement is simply not true. A non-white, non-terrorist person may have received different treatment, but their civil liberties would not have been violated (different than not being in jail).

      • geekychick says:

        Kranky: Have you ever been detained in an airport whoile coming in USA? My husband was, for half an hour(at JFK, NYC actually), because he hadn’t heard a question guy asked him while checking his passport. In that half-hour he was with the police/airport security/however are they called, all the others there were POC, and the things officers were telling them, the fact that at least 2 of them were called “terrorist, with your silly little turban”, “that brown Husein’s guy” and questioned although it was very clear that they didn’t understand English and that there was no intent to get them a translator….kinda opened my eyes to the treatment of POC in air-traffic. The only difference between my husband and those guys was that he’s a white European who knows his English. So…no, considering how those officers presumed that religion means political activity, I don’t agree with you. If they wanted, they would a find a way to make it a really punishable threat-if he was a POC.

      • Hope says:

        I think the point was that if he had been a person of color or poor, this would have been treated far differently. And honestly, since when is someone who later admits to wanting to murder someone on an airplane “just a jerk?” This kid is a f@#$ing menace to society. And if his name were Muhammed instead of Conrad we would have *at* *least* heard of him being tasered, if not shot, if not killed. This is affluenza at it’s worst.

      • tinyfencer says:

        I think that obviously if he were of a different ethnicity or race this situation would have been handled differently, but because his actions were motivated by general douchebaggery and entitlement, and not a political or religious agenda, it is inaccurate to call him a terrorist. What I don’t understand is why it took so long for charges to be filed. Has this been addressed and I just missed it?

      • kranky says:

        I am not denying that racial profiling exists. In fact, I said that a non-white (POC) *may* have received a different treatment. I didn’t use a stronger word because we do not know that as a certainty. I would add that I stated that Hilton’s skin and wealth influenced the outcome for him.

        geekychick: I am sorry that your husband was detained. That must have been terribly frightening. I am happy to hear that he wasn’t disappeared which is my point. Was your husband singled out? Yes. Where his civil liberties taken away? No. Should we – as an open society – talk about these things? Yes.

        Again, what I strongly object to is the giant leap to the term terrorism. It degrades the meaning and power of the word (much like celebrities comparing being photographed to being assaulted). Threatening to kill or even killing a flight attendant is not a terrorist act in the LEGAL sense unless it is done in support of a political agenda. Conrad Hilton is a disgusting person. He is not a terrorist. Eye on the ball people.

      • original kay says:

        I agree 100% Kranky.

        this was not terrorism, it was a spoiled brat acting as himself.

        well said, your entire post.

      • geekychick says:

        Kranky: I don’t think Hilton is a terrorist, nor that he acted as such. I don’t think you understood what I am saying. Frightening in a way that I asked myself will I have to book a flight home right in that moment; not frightening bc he’s a white European so I knew that he’s gonna be ok-I knew it because I learned that whiteness means privilege in USA on my previous stay there. What I was trying to say is that other people who were detained were people of colour, in some cases given no translator, so with no fair chance to answer the questions asked and racially and religiously profiled-no one cared about their rights or why they were there, but they were treated like they were potential terrorists. If they were treated as such, why wasn’t a guy who’s threatening personnel, passengers and security on the trip (threatening the co-pilot?) treated like a potential terrorist? If a POC is treated like garbage bc or his/hers race or knowledge of English, why isn’t a Hilton treated the same or worse, when he was in fact putting the others in danger on that flight-safety risk is no small feet while 10000 m in the air.

    • Chesty LaRue says:

      He threatened to kill flight attendants and other passengers. In post 911 world that’s definitely considered a serious threat, and anyone else would be in big trouble

    • Bridget says:

      It absolutely includes disrupting a flight and threatening a flight attendant. Flying is no joke nowadays.

    • anne_000 says:

      When you admit that the only thing that kept you from killing a flight attendant was some random guy holding you back then yes, you can be labeled a terrorist because that sort of action can lead to a whole world of Hell and disruption on an airplane that’s already in flight. That kind of mentality along with being ever so open to admit to the FBI that bit of readiness to kill someone?

      What if you or your kids were on that plane with somebody who said he tried really hard to kill the flight attendant? I’d call that a terrorist situation because I don’t need that at 35,000 flight up in the air in a confined space that I can’t get out and run away from.

    • kranky says:

      Oops – one more thing to address this:

      “If they wanted, they would a find a way to make it a really punishable threat-if he was a POC.”

      Hilton was arrested by the FBI. His punishment has not been determined. At this point, to say that the situation was not taken seriously is incorrect.

      • Zwella Ingird says:

        Agree this guy is a colossal a$$ but not a terrorist.

      • k says:

        kranky, this is b.s.
        the situation has NOT been taken seriously due to the fact that this is way after the fact and nothing has been done and it was swept out of view.
        and yes, he is a terrorist. see definiton number two.
        noun

    • Scarlet says:

      I’m 5’10 , blonde hair , blue eyes , fair skin with really good luggage and jewelry. I get detained every single time I go through customs. I think that they think that I am a drug mule. Trust me, there’s profiling everywhere.

      • Kar says:

        Scarlet- I’m of South Asian heritage, but I think I have a similar experience whenever I travel (being profiled as a mule)… Well-dressed, travel a LOT, expensive luggage etc, always pulled aside for secondary screening of my carry-ons at the gate (not actual security though).

  8. jferber says:

    Asshat. He needs a comeuppance, but we’ll see if that ever happens (I’m betting not). And Pinky, I love your comment. Spot on.

  9. smee says:

    Please explain what “he came up to me with his nose” means. (sorry, I’m a peasant)

    You’re exactly right – if a brown skinned person had done this shiz, they would be considered a terrorist and would still be sitting in jail.

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      Yeah, I’m not sure what he was supposed to do with his nose. If I come up to you, so does my nose. I can’t help it. Cause I’m a peasant.

    • lila fowler says:

      He was probably just making a snide remark about the size of the flight attendant’s nose. I hope the flight attendant turns out to be Jewish or something and Hilton gets outed as an anti-Semite.

      • Cirien says:

        Hasn’t Paris made anti-Semitic remarks in the past? which makes the Upcoming Rothschild-Hilton marriage well….all the more weird.
        The heart wants what the heart wants but if my partners siblings had both made anti-Semitic remarks, and I was from a Jewish family…. that would be a deal breaker for me….despite you know, feelings

    • original kay says:

      I read it to mean “got up in his face”.

      Invaded his personal space, so to speak.

  10. Kiddo says:

    Robert Shapiro: “If the nose was in a snit, you must acquit!”

  11. capepopsie says:

    I bet he wont go to jail! His parents will buy the best of the best
    to get him off the hook, once again. They´ll have a whole team of
    lawyers fighting for him. It is so very sad.

    • BangersandMash says:

      smh

      Yep!! You got it, capepopsie.

      Just incase we were all relaxed and began thinking that the world was balanced. Yet again, these real life stories remind us of just how unbalanced this world really is.

      1. If my parents got that phone-call from me telling them that I was in jail, because I started antagonising people… Trust, the answer would be, “Oh, ok. Have fun in there. Call us when you get out!!”

      2. And with my skin colour and peasant-y background… Trust!! I’m on CNN/Fox News for a week.

      Just incase, once more… You thought the world was balanced.

  12. Megan says:

    And this is why we never answer the FBI’s questions without an attorney present.

  13. scout says:

    “Came at me with his nose”? That’s a “twinkie defence” I had never heard before. What happens if somebody comes at him with a FIST! OH LAWD!!!

    • Kiddo says:

      I love it. It’s the best defense I’ve heard in a while. Especially within in a rich guy world, where a nose in the air defines pedigree and standing.

    • greenmonster says:

      I imagine someone coming at me with his thump between the index and middle finger, threatening me: “See that? I got my nose. Imagine what I can do to you!”

  14. Cara says:

    I’m generally against it- but I’ll make a case for capital punishment for this douche. 😜

  15. Livealot says:

    Sorry but Barron is hot! This one not so much.

  16. Jenni says:

    Great start. Now he needs to release sex tape, next week he will get own reality show and et voilà. The star is born. In the end he is Hilton.

  17. MoeC23 says:

    He’s lucky I wasn’t on that flight! I would have gotten up, calmly walked over, and decked him!

  18. Talie says:

    I’m stunned at what e admitted to…and most likely with a lawyer sitting right next to him!! He was talking this guy was his buddy. WTF?

    Anyway, hopefully they can ban him from air travel for years — is that possible? That would certainly put a dent in his jet set lifestyle. The Hiltons are complete fails at parenting.

  19. Mia4S says:

    For anyone wondering why this Prince of the universe in his own delusion is flying commercial, well he’s not quite a billionaire. His grandfather is giving 97% of his fortune to charity when he dies. This loser will have to settle for being just “rich” (not super rich). Well at least he can continue to be a piece of trash his family can be deeply ashamed of!

    • Talie says:

      I had heard that their wealth is overstated. I mean for awhile they just lived in Hilton hotel properties. I don’t think that was because they wanted to either.

      • Bridget says:

        The Hilton family is huge. Conrad had several children, who all had children of their own. Rick and Kathy Hilton were never really going to get much money from the Hilton trust, and instead what money they do have is primarily from Rick’s real estate company. They’re not as fabulously wealthy as people would expect with the Hilton name, though Paris made her own money.

    • Djinn says:

      Yep, his grandfather was also not supposed to be uber rich but he fought his own fathers will (which had almost all the cash going to charity) on a technicality and won. So he lived his life as an uber rich man off the work of his father then decides we *he* dies it’s all going to charity to make him look magnanimous. Conrad comes from a LONG line of douche canoes.

  20. LaurieH says:

    This is a rather undignified thing for a woman of 50 to say: but what a douche. Seriously. Spare the rod, spoil the child…personified.

  21. Adrien says:

    I was about to say he looked different without his cakey foundation.

  22. aenflex says:

    I think it is simply a matter of his last name being Hilton, versus a Middle Eastern name. Plenty of non-Middle Eastern American people have been arrested on airplanes and made the news.

    • Kar says:

      aenflex- Totally agree. I also think this is a case of wealth… I’ve read so many news stories of unruly/violent behaviour in economy cabins that have led to planes being diverted involving people of all races/ethnicities and backgrounds. In my own experience, I have witnessed terrible behaviour in business/first class (or as some airlines are bizarrely calling it these days, “upper class”) which did not lead to the plane being diverted.

      I’m not downplaying the racial/white privilege implications of all this (especially as I am of South Asian heritage)… but I think cabin crews tend to be cognizant of wealthier names/frequent flyers in biz/first class and an affinity for mixing every kind of illegal/legal/controlled/prescription/OTC drug + alcohol in those classes.

  23. Lorelei says:

    Let’s be honest, he’s gonna get a slap on the wrist in the form of some mandatory counseling, community service and maybe a hefty fine that mom and dad will pay. He comes from old money and has a prestigious name, it would take a miracle for a more severe punishment.

  24. lila fowler says:

    Rick and Kathy Hilton have raised some real TRASH. This guy and his siblings are just utter garbage.

  25. Ginger says:

    He’s already been banned from other airlines? How is he still able to fly?! I feel so badly for the folks on that plane. That must have been truly frightening to watch someone get that violent in an enclosed space. I fly a lot and thank goodness I’ve only had to deal with the usual stuff like drunk people, rude people and babies crying. (I’m a Mom too so I’m more forgiving of the baby thing. Their ears can’t take it.) Like I said yesterday, I used to work for a partial Hilton owned company and they are truly capable of having people fired over nothing. It’s so awful that he said that but it has a ring of truth to it. Even if they didn’t turn the plane around or divert it they did the right thing by restraining him until landing and then let the Marshal’s and FBI handle it. I want to know if he’s going to be completely banned from flying after this? Of course, if he actually does time he won’t be going anywhere for a while. Let’s see if his family wealth can buy him out of prison. I doubt it. Even Paris had to do time for her DUI (although that whole thing was pitiful).

  26. Dawn says:

    I’d say a year of living, eating, sleeping, showering and sh**ing with peasants could be beneficial to this young man and the high opinion he has of himself. This is the kind of rich kid who needs to be knocked down until he see the world in a different light and knows that to the rest of us he is very unimportant. What a sad jerk.

  27. Cannibell says:

    “The peasants are revolting! Off with their noses!!!!!”

  28. Guesto says:

    What an utter waste of skin he is. They should have shoved him out the door mid-Atlantic.

  29. lemon says:

    He sounds mentally unstable. My brother rants, makes threats, and occasionally gets violent during his episodes of mania and psychosis. Even for a spoiled little nugget of Hilton, this sounds not right.

  30. Pegasus says:

    Yo, dont come at Veruca Salt with your nose, bro… These Easter egg blue moccassins will OWN you, peasants!! Dont you know who my daddy is?!?!

    The hummingbird stencil on his designer hoodie really rounds out the thug vibe.

  31. kri says:

    Ah, yes. The Hilton Nose. A famous weapon of Mass Inhalation. Surely you can all see why the poor boy saw a nose coming at him and felt threatened.Why should the Prince of Blow have any competing, thieving peasant snouts in his vicinty? How dare they!!!! This kid should have been restrained in his seat. If I had been a passenger on this plane, I would have punched him in his coke spout so hard he would have to lick lines off of flat surfaces for a month.A$$hole.

  32. ickythump says:

    Makes me think of an old joke – “If I had a nose like that I would’ve picked a better one” LOL!. This guy sounds like the Lance Armstrong of the Hilton family – t**ser.

  33. Nuzzybear says:

    I think this calls for something more than imprisonment (yeah $ right) or the “Do Not Fly” list. I think we need a “NMV” list for these guys. No motorized vehicles. He’s clearly a threat on any form of public transportation – and frankly, he could do considerable public damage in most motorized conveyances.

    So, when Daddy springs him from the brig, they just walk him out of the building, give him his diamond-studded bicycle and send him on his way.

    I would love to drop kick people like this naked and penniless into a third world slum and see how long they last. Can you imagine this douchetard asking a druglord dictator if theyre familiar with Hilton Kingdom? HA!!!

  35. kellyinSeattle says:

    Sigh. More of the Hiltons? I’ll be nice. He isn’t bad looking; I spent a year in Russia and in general , hubba hubba, not being politically correct. The men there was fine; better than here, but at least we’re FREE!

  36. Cindy says:

    The Hiltons really are straight from a bret easton ellis nightmare.

  37. Triple Cardinal says:

    That bit about telling the FBI that he would have killed someone in flight? He wasn’t admitting to being barely under control.

    He was bragging. To the FBI.

    He was bragging.

      My thoughts exactly. Also i loved this story. You would think too stereotypical to be true…calling people peasants!!

    This seems to go far beyond nurtured jackassery. This is psychotic behavior, either drug-induced or from mental illness. If he’s been banned from other airlines, then he’s done this before. He certainly will have a psychiatric evaluation before sentencing. Since his behavior was violent, making him clearly a danger to others, the law has more options to hold him. He will have to prove he is no longer a danger before they will let him loose. Probably other incidents on airplanes were more verbal obnoxiousness, but this one went to a new level. On the ground, he might get away with it without even being arrested. But in the air- a whole different set of authorities come into play, and so he is most likely really in trouble despite the family name and money and his paleness.

    I hate to make this political, but I think that we really need to have more nose control in this country. I know, there are many people who believe that our constitutional right to bare noses means that we can have every member of a household (even children!) openly carrying their noses everywhere, but there comes a time when we need to examine our hearts and stand proud while we say “Enough!”
    Please, think of the children!

      They’ll take my nose when they pry it from my cold, dead corpse!

      And now I’m officially slain. I’m at work people. You’re going to get me fired for cackling out loud at my desk.

    What really stands out to me about this story is that this kid isn’t even rich. It’s his PARENTS who have the money, not him. Has he ever had a job or even graduated from high school?

  42. Pegasus says:

    I for one am thoroughly disappointed in my peasant brethren for not at least doodling a hitler moustache on this prettyboy cokehead version of King Joffrey when he finally passed out in his seat.

    And what exactly does he mean by “came at me w/ his nose?” Like, the flight attendant had the nerve to ‘look down his nose’ at him in all his coked out glory? As if the fortune his manicured hands didnt even earn entitles him to respect on demand even when hes threatening lives? Veruca, please…

    • A.H. says:

      HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA “… pretty boy coke head version of King Joffrey …” HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    I would think tampering with the lavatory smoke alarm – provided they can prove he did it – would be one hell of a serious charge.

    • SillySimone says:

      And bringing illegal drugs aboard an international flight… yeah, there are several serious charges here. But all he has to do is have a panic attack like his sister did when she went to jail, and all of it will vanish. I am curious as to what incident had his daddy shell out $300k. Does anyone know what he is referencing?

  45. SillySimone says:

    I remember when Paris had to go to jail because she got yet another DUI, while on probation for two others and failed to show up for community service. She was in jail I think for a few hours, before she had a massive panic attack and her parents were ABLE TO GET HER RELEASED FOR A MEDICAL CONDITION (anxiety). NO REALLY!!! How many people could get a get-out-of-jail card for having a panic attack? I have nothing but contempt for these people. I will never stay at any Hilton owned property because I cannot stand adding another cent to their already disgusting sense of entitlement.

    • jwoolman says:

      The judge had Paris dragged back to jail for the rest of her sentence. He pointed out that the jail had an excellent medical ward. She spent some time there, then quietly went back to her cell to finish her sentence (probably after staff explained the consequences of non-cooperation). Her mom was practically spitting at the judge and they tried to smear him in the press, the same way the Lohans have reacted to judges who dared say no to Lindsay.

      The one who had let her go on house arrest (after what was likely a detox episode since she hadn’t listed the stuff she had been taking) was the sheriff, who maintained a revolving door for celebrities. The judge in sentencing had specified no house arrest and no transfer to a comfy jail in another jurisdiction (which rich people can do ordinarily). Sheriffs are politicians here, and are elected. So they pay attention to those who fund their campaigns.
