A Sept. 18 trial date has been set in Los Angeles in the slander case brought against Paris Hilton by diamond heiress Zeta Graff. Graff, who used to date Hilton’s former fiance, Paris Latsis, is seeking $10 million in damages because, as she alleges, Hilton fed “vicious lies” about Graff to the press - specifically an item in the New York Post last July claiming that Graff went “berserk” from jealousy at a London dance club and tried to rip a diamond necklace from Hilton’s neck. Graff also states that Hilton said, “I’m going to destroy you,” after club managers refused to kick Graff out of their London establishment.
In her own deposition, Hilton admitted to making the story up, yet denied responsibility for leaking it to the media. “Whatever I write in email, it doesn’t mean anything. It is just words I write,” Hilton said. Asked about what she said about Graff, Hilton said: “I just said to her…she is old and should stay at home with her child instead of being at nightclubs with young people. And just that - I just - what else did I say? Just that she is not cute at all.”
Fortunately for Zeta Graff, self-imposed mental retardation is not a defense to slander.
