Paris Hilton has forcefully denied long-standing claims that Ghislaine Maxwell attempted to recruit her into Jeffrey Epstein's circle, but the resurfaced allegations have reignited scrutiny over Epstein's network and the powerful figures once in his orbit.
In a recent interview with The Sunday Times Magazine, Hilton, now 44, addressed a narrative first raised in the 2020 docuseries Surviving Jeffrey Epstein. The series featured testimony from Christopher Mason, a British journalist who was once close to Maxwell. Mason alleged that Maxwell spotted Hilton at a party when she was about 19 and remarked that she would be 'perfect' for Epstein, going so far as to request a friend make an introduction.
