Paris Hilton, the iconic reality TV star and socialite, is not just about glitz and glam anymore. Over the past few years, she's turned heads in the political arena, advocating passionately for important causes. Recently, she teamed up with Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to push for the DEFIANCE Act – a groundbreaking legislative effort aimed at providing legal protection for victims of AI deepfakes. Hilton’s move from Hollywood to Capitol Hill is just as dazzling as her red carpet appearances.
“Every time I go out there, they all say that to me," Hilton mentioned in a recent interview on 'Today with Jenna & Sheinelle'. "They say, ‘You get more done than our government.’”
Hilton's interest in politics has sparked speculation about a potential run for office. During her TV appearance, when asked if she’d consider diving deeper into the political world, her answer was intriguing. "Only if I can paint the White House pink," she quipped. It's hard not to imagine the iconic executive mansion with a splash of her signature color.
Despite her playful remark, Hilton has been busy promoting her new film and discussing the urgent need for the DEFIANCE Act. She highlights the dangers of AI technology, emphasizing its unregulated nature and the impact of deepfakes on vulnerable groups. "It’s so scary with the world of AI," she explained, underscoring her commitment to advocacy.
A proud mother of two, Hilton's drive to ensure a safe world for her children is unwavering. "I want my children to be in a world that is safe," she shared, reflecting her determination to champion change. With her involvement in significant legislative efforts, she’s shown that her concern extends beyond personal experience to a broader societal mission.
Earlier this year, Hilton celebrated a significant win, as the Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act was passed by Congress. She joyfully announced the news on social media, stating, "Today is a day I will never forget. After years of sharing my story and advocating on Capitol Hill, the Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act has officially passed the U.S Congress." Her hard work in protecting minors from abuse demonstrates her commitment to using her platform for good.
Hilton’s advocacy and potential political ambitions show that she's not just about pink and parties – she’s making waves for real change.
