Paris Hilton recently opened up about the heartbreak she’s felt after facing criticism over a photo of her 8-month-old son, Phoenix Barron. In a heartfelt message on Instagram, the TV personality expressed her frustration, calling it “unacceptable” for anyone to target her child with cruel comments.
On October 19, Hilton, now 42, posted several photos of Phoenix, whom she shares with her husband Carter Reum, during the baby’s first visit to New York City. While the images should have marked a joyful milestone, they instead drew unexpected backlash, with some commenters making hurtful remarks about Phoenix’s appearance. A TikTok user even highlighted the negative reactions, which led Hilton to respond, assuring fans that her “angel is perfectly healthy” and that he “just has a large brain.”
In a follow-up post on her Instagram Story, Hilton delved deeper into her reaction to the comments. “Living life in the spotlight, comments are inevitable,” she said. “But targeting my child, or anyone’s child for that matter, is unacceptable.” Hilton’s message underscored the pain she felt from seeing her son at the center of such negativity.
