Paris Hilton's agent Elliot Mintz, pictured above as Agent Smith from The Matrix, claimed responsibility for her conviction and resigned on Sunday evening. Actually, the more I look at it, the more I think he's not her agent, but rather that he's her publicist or spokesperson or something. But since I don't really know the difference between any of those things, I'm going to keep calling this guy Paris Hilton's agent, if only so that I can keep the picture up at the top of this post. Anyway, here's what he had to say:
The day after the hearing, I sent an e-mail expressing my sadness over the ruling of the judge and the irrational sentence he imposed. In that e-mail I also offered my sincerest apology for any misunderstanding she received from me regarding the terms of her probation. To the extent that I have miscommunicated information I received from her attorneys......I am deeply and profoundly sorry. I told her that I assume personal responsibility for my part in this matter. I believe when stated in court that she believed it was o.k. for her to drive under certain circumstances she was being absolutely truthful. Due to this misunderstanding, I am no longer representing Paris. For the record, I have nothing but love and respect for Paris and her family. Paris is a wonderful person and does not deserve the punishment that was handed down by the court. I only wish her my best.
What have we learned from this? We've learned that not only is Paris Hilton a liar, but she surrounds herself with other liars who are willing to lie to back up her lies.
