‘This is not normal’: Internet questions Paris Hilton and mother Kathy Hilton's relationship as model keeps son Phoenix’s birth hidden
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: After TLC shared a sneak peek from the latest episode of 'Paris in Love', the internet was buzzing with questions about the mother-daughter duo Paris Hilton and Kathy Hilton. The clip revealed a touching moment where Paris introduced her son Pheonix to Kathy directly after his birth.
In the emotional video, Kathy was seen in tears after learning about the birth of her grandson, which Paris had kept hidden as a surprise.
Paris, realizing the impact of her secrecy, handed Phoenix to her and sat next to her, introducing the baby to his grandmother. However, Kathy appeared to be in a state of shock, struggling to process the unexpected news. In a moment of disbelief, she kept asking Paris, "Are you serious?"
People in the comments were perplexed and curious about how Kathy could be unaware of her daughter, who chose to have the child via surrogacy, having had a son.
Many argued that, regardless of the method, it seemed unusual for a mother not to be aware of her daughter becoming a mother.
"Her mother didn't know she had a baby?" asked a person on Instagram. "The fact that she kept her surrogate a secret from her own mother… just wild," another wrote.
"I can’t imagine not telling my mom that a new grandchild is on the way. You know there must be some DEEP scars in that family," a user commented. "This is so cringe! How do you not tell your mother?!?!" added one. "Absolute trash. This is just embarrassing," quipped another.
"This says a lot about their relationship. This is not normal......and it's unfortunate that Paris felt she had to do this for her own mental protection," added another.
One person also explained, "They did not have the greatest relationship when Paris was growing up…hence the TRUST ISSUES for the evil folks in the comments."
