According to Paris Hilton, Women Accused Trump of Sexual Assault for ‘Attention & Fame’

In an interview that can only be described as cringe-worthy, Paris Hilton told Marie Claire that she believes that the 15-plus women who came forward with sexual assault allegations against Donald Trump only did it for fame and attention. (Say, what?)

On Tuesday, writer Irin Carmon, who conducted the interview in which Paris also said she was “very into women’s empowerment and girl power,” came forward with a portion of the conversation between the two that was too long to be put into the final article – and let’s just say it’s not a good look.

After Paris defended the fact that the president watched her sex tape and sexualized her at the age of 12, Carmon asked her about the multiple women who have come forward with sexual assault allegations against Trump.

“I think that they are just trying to get attention and fame,” she told Carmon. “I feel like, a lot of people, when something happens all these opportunists will come out. They want to get money or get paid to not say anything or get a settlement when nothing really happened.”

As for Trump’s famous, “Grab them by the pussy,” line? She brushes it off, saying she’s, “heard guys say the craziest things ever, because I’m always around guys, and I listen to them speak.”

Um, yikes? BRB while I go scream into a pillow.
