Paris Hilton: 'I Was Treated Unfairly'
Paris Hilton has spoken for the first time about the 45-day jail sentence she was handed on Friday – and she's not happy.
Described as visibly shaken and tearful, the heiress, 26, who must serve time for violating her probation after she drove with a suspended license, made her feelings clear to photographers waiting outside her Los Angeles home on Saturday night.
"I told the truth," said Hilton, according to Reuters (and as was first reported by TMZ.) "I feel that I was treated unfairly, and that the sentence is both cruel and unwarranted. I don't deserve this."
Hilton, however, did foretell of her punishment in an interview she gave beforehand to Harper's Bazaar, for its June issue. "I think I get in more trouble just because of who I am," she says, as reported in Monday's New York Daily News.
"The cops do it all the time," she is quoted as saying. "They'll just pull me over to hit on me. It's really annoying. They're like, 'What's your phone number? Want to go to dinner?' "
Despite her current legal woes, Hilton says that police rarely write her up. "They just pull me over, and the paparazzi, of course, take a picture," she complains. "All the time. I have so many cops' business cards."
The Simple Life star must report to jail by June 5.
Hilton's attorney, Howard Weitzman, said after Friday's verdict that he plans to appeal.
"I'm shocked and disappointed at the sentence by the judge," Weitzman said. "To sentence Paris Hilton to jail is uncalled for, inappropriate and ludicrous. She was singled out for who she is."
In all, it was a tumultuous weekend for Hilton. In a further bit of personal upheaval, she split with her longtime rep, Elliot Mintz. At her hearing, Hilton had told Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Sauer that Mintz had repeatedly informed her that her license had been suspended for only 30 days and that she could still drive for work-related matters.
In an e-mail to PEOPLE on Sunday, Mintz said: "I believe when Paris stated in court that she believed it was o.k. for her to drive under certain circumstances she was being absolutely truthful."
He added, "Due to this misunderstanding, I am no longer representing Paris."
