Public+perception

Paris Hilton was a role model for young girls around the world. She stared in a show with her best friend, Nicole Richie, called the Simple Life. The show was about how Paris and her friend lived in certain situations. Shortly after she had her own show called My New BFF, where girls traveled from all over to get a chance to become her best friend. What a shame it was when the public found a sex scandal that had been released by a lover Paris knew. It changed the perception of who she was in so many eyes. Not only was it promiscuous, it set a bad example for all of her fans. She also posed in magazines where she was hardly dressed and was very suggestive. When she was charged with possession of cocaine, the public viewed her as white trash. Hilton's reputation went from being idolized by thousands of fans to a promiscuous party girl with no direction.
