In her documentary, Paris reflected on influencer culture and her career, which helped launch the early ‘’social media sensation’’and reveals that she feels responsible for the role she’s played in its culmination. According to E! News, the 39-years-old socialite explained that “Everyone says I’m the original influencer but sometimes I feel like I helped create a monster.” 

Paris feels “responsible” for the rise of influencer culture and the usage of social media to curate unrealistic personas

Citing her desire to project the “perfect” image to cope with the trauma that came with the abuse she says she endured at boarding school, Paris fully admits to feeling “responsible” for the rise of influencer culture and the usage of social media to curate unrealistic personas. “That’s why I always had to project basically what I think the public wants.’’ The Simple Life star says, “And now I see the little girls… they’re trying to get the perfect selfie, they’re putting the filters on, they can’t even look at themselves [on] the phone without putting a filter. I can’t even imagine a 13-year-old girl today.”

“I’m just so used to playing a character that it’s hard for me to be, like, normal. I turn into someone else.” Calling her “airhead socialite persona” nothing but a facade, the Billionaire Princess continues, “I’m always kind of putting on this facade [of a] happy, perfect life. I just had this plan and then created this brand and this persona and this character and I’ve been stuck with her ever since.”
