A long-standing claim suggested that the former socialite and convicted sex offender tried recruiting the reality star for the disgraced financier. The rumor originated from the 2020 Lifetime docuseries "Surviving Jeffrey Epstein." In the final episode of the documentary TV miniseries, Ghislaine Maxwell’s former friend, Christopher Mason, dropped a startling assertion.
During his interview for the four-part docuseries, Mason recounted the long-running yet uncorroborated rumor:
“A friend of mine was at a party and Ghislaine said, ‘Oh my God, who’s that?’ and was looking at this pretty, young, sort of teenage girl. And she said, ‘Do you know her?’ My friend said, ‘Yes, she’s called Paris Hilton.’ And Ghislaine said, ‘God, she’d be perfect for Jeffrey. Could you introduce us?’”
After Mason shared the anecdote, the docuseries showed a picture capturing a 19-year-old Paris Hilton with Donald Trump and Ghislaine Maxwell. According to Rolling Stone, they were photographed at the Anand Jon Fashion Show in New York on September 18, 2000. During the conversation, Christopher Mason also recounted:
“The rumours were Ghislaine was scouring New York finding younger girls to go on dates with Jeffrey. At the time it seemed a bit naughty.”
Paris Hilton spoke about her supposed meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell in 2000 in her November profile in The Sunday Times. The Your Heiress Diary author said:
“I don’t even remember ever meeting her.”
She seemingly debunked the rumors by stating:
“I’m such a good clickbait name.”
While the Infinite Icon singer did not deny the allegations against Maxwell’s intentions, the rumors have remained unverified. No evidence suggests that Ghislaine Maxwell nearly trafficked or attempted to recruit Paris Hilton for Jeffrey Epstein. The claim has remained anecdotal.
The media personality has also made headlines after dropping the trailer for the upcoming documentary.
