Paris Hilton changes her voice mid-sentence when heard: VIDEO
Reality TV icon Paris Hilton has had the internet bursting with laughter after a video clip of her recent testimony before Congress was released.
The heiress and the starlet spoke before Congress in favor of stronger child protection.
But in the middle of her conversation with New York Republican Representative Claudia Tenney, Hilton suddenly switched to a completely different way of speaking; she switched from the high-pitched Parisian tone we are all familiar with to a purely matter-of-fact one.
Hilton’s testimony refers to her experiences as a teenager when she was sent to Provo Canyon School in Utah, a boarding school for troubled youth with behavioral, emotional and drug problems.
Hilton has detailed the horrific abuse she suffered at the school in public statements as well as in her 2020 documentary This is Paris.
Hilton was called to testify before the House Budget Committee on how the U.S. government can better protect children.
But before getting to the heart of her statement, Hilton reflected on one of the things she is best known for: fashion, and in particular, Rep. Tenney’s jacket.
She told the New York Republican:
“I love your jacket. The glitter is incredible.”
Tenney was flattered and replied that she had worn a little “bling-bling” when she met Hilton, to which Hilton, in the usual girlish tone for which she is known, replied that she would find out who made the jacket afterward.
But then Hilton abruptly changed her tone mid-sentence and said to Tenney:
“…but we need access to therapy counseling, mentoring and other community-based programs.”
The abrupt change from Hilton’s usual flirtatious voice to her “congressional voice” seemed funny and fascinating to many on the Internet and the clip quickly spread like wildfire on social media.
Hilton said in her 2020 documentary that she had always “played a role” in her public persona until she began advocating for children. But regardless of her voice, Hilton’s statement was profoundly important.
She further told Tenney and the rest of the committee:
“I think it’s also important not to label these kids as ‘problematic’ or ‘bad.’ I think that makes these kids feel like they’re not believed, and that’s something that’s important so they don’t feel that way.”
“It’s all about showing kindness, love, compassion and support. We need to give these kids the life skills they need, otherwise we’re just setting them up for failure.”
We hope that her work will spare more children what she experienced as a teenager.
