Kim Kardashian’s humble image when she was Paris Hilton’s assistant

Before becoming famous and becoming a billionaire like she is now, Kim Kardashian used to be a lesser-known assistant to blonde beauty Paris Hilton.

Kim Kardashian is currently one of the richest and most famous stars in the US with a fortune of up to 24,000 billion VND. She is not only successful with a reality TV show about her personal life but also makes a lot of money from her own fashion and cosmetics brand.

With her current fame, few people know that in the early 2000s, Kim Kardashian used to be an assistant to Paris Hilton, who was then one of the most famous and sought-after TV stars.

Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian both grew up in Beverly Hills, USA. The two girls attended different high schools but they had a friend in common, Nicole Richie.

In 2003, Kim Kardashian appeared on the hit reality show The Simple Life with Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie. One of the most iconic moments from the show that is still remembered by TV viewers to this day was when Kim Kardashian cleaned and organized Paris Hilton’s closet.

For quite a while, wherever Paris Hilton appeared, she went with Kim Kardashian and as Kim Kardashian shared with Rolling Stone magazine: “We would go anywhere just to be seen by reporters. We knew exactly where to go, where to be seen, how to get the press to write something about us. All we had to do was go to this restaurant or that party and it would be in the papers the next day”.

Kim Kardashian has been considered Paris Hilton’s assistant for quite some time, but in a 2017 TV interview, Kim Kardashian tried to deny this information. She said: “I work with Paris. I organize and clean out her closet, get rid of things she doesn’t like anymore and sell them on eBay, then buy new clothes for her. That’s my job. I love it, but people always make the mistake of thinking of me as Paris’s assistant.”

Kim Kardashian doesn’t seem to want to call herself an assistant. Instead, she wants to be considered Paris Hilton’s stylist. After a few years of working with Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian gradually became more known to the public.

The relationship between Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton deteriorated in 2008 when Paris Hilton suddenly commented that Kim Kardashian’s “butt” looked like cheese stuffed in a garbage bag. From that point on, fans understood that the relationship between Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian was broken.

In 2011, in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar magazine, Kim Kardashian said she was no longer close to Paris Hilton but that she was fine: “We don’t talk to each other. Like I always say, people come into your life for a reason. Paris Hilton was in my life for a long time but there came a time when we had to part ways. Things just changed, you changed. I never ran into her anywhere. Isn’t that strange?”

In 2014, Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton unexpectedly took a close photo while attending the birthday party of famous fashion designer Riccardo Tisci in Ibiza, Spain. The two girls also commented back and forth on Instagram, making fans extremely happy to see that their idol’s relationship was good again.

In a 2015 interview with Glamour, Paris Hilton shared that she was proud of Kim Kardashian. The beauty dispelled rumors that there were still many conflicts or jealousy between them. Paris Hilton said: “Kim is a very moral person. She and I are both determined people in work. I am very proud of her. When she is at home, she is very normal like everyone else. She is easygoing and very sweet.”

Since 2016, the relationship between Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian has really improved and gotten better. At this time, Kim Kardashian is more famous and richer than Paris Hilton. Paris Hilton reunited with Kim and attended many parties organized by Kim’s family. She promoted shoes designed by Kim’s ex-husband. Kim Kardashian also regularly sends her girlfriend branded items such as perfume, fashion clothes, etc.

In May 2019, Kim unexpectedly agreed to appear in Paris Hilton’s new music video. Thanks to Kim’s appearance, Paris Hilton’s MV attracted much more attention. In an interview, Kim said: “I’ve always wanted to do something for Paris. She really gave me a career and I fully acknowledge that.”
