Sources claim Kim and Paris are still supportive friends involved in each other's projects, dismissing the anger as false.
Author Jonathan Van Meter claims Kim was 'so mad' and that the snub stirred up 'ancient irritation' between the two socialites.
Paris canceled 17 times over four months; Van Meter noted Kim had to go through Hilton's publicist, unlike other sources.
Kim might say she's over it, but 17 no-shows from her former boss? That’s not just scheduling conflict; that’s personal.
Grab your popcorn, because the tea on Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton is boiling over again. The latest drama stems from Jonathan Van Meter’s new biography, "Citizen Kim," which hits shelves on October 27. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Van Meter dropped a bombshell: Paris Hilton canceled on him 17 times over a four-month period when he attempted to interview her about her former assistant.
That’s not just flaky; that’s a pattern. Van Meter noted that while Kardashian simply texted other sources for quotes, he had to navigate the bureaucratic maze of Hilton’s publicist, which he described as "unusual." The real kicker? Van Meter claims Kardashian was "so mad" when she found out about the repeated cancellations.
The author suggests this snub didn't just annoy her; it "seemed to stir up some ancient irritation between them," referring to it as "the creation turning on the creator." For those who don’t remember the lore, Kim started as Paris’s stylist and assistant in the early 2000s. Their friendship imploded as Kim’s star rose, leading to a decade-long cold war that included Hilton’s infamous 2008 comment describing Kim’s butt as "cottage cheese inside a big trash bag." While the book suggests lingering resentment, the PR machine is already spinning.
A source close to the situation told Page Six that the reports of Kardashian being angry are "not true." According to this insider, the two women remain supportive of one another and are even involved in each other’s upcoming projects. They point to their recent public appearances, such as posing together at the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, as proof that the feud is long dead and buried. But can you really bury a grudge that deep with just one photo op?
The history between these two is messy. After drifting apart, they reportedly reconnected in 2016 at Kris Jenner’s Christmas party. By 2019, Hilton was telling People magazine that it had been "really nice" being friends again.
Kim even attended Paris’s 2021 wedding to Carter Reum, and Paris appeared in a Skims campaign in 2020. Yet, Van Meter’s revelation that Paris was the only person to turn him down for the book adds a new layer of tension. Did Paris really have nothing to say, or was she refusing to give Kim the satisfaction of a quote? With the book dropping Tuesday, we might finally get the full story on whether this is a genuine friendship or a very expensive, very public truce.
