KING: Have you ever been addicted to drugs?
HILTON: No.
KING: Taken drugs.
HILTON: No.
KING: Never taken drugs?
HILTON: No.
King then goes on to ask her why there are so many stories about her, and she says that people make up crazy stuff.
KING: Why didn’t you put a stop to this earlier? In other words, if you would read stuff, why didn’t you take an outlet to go on and say I don’t – I never use drugs? I don’t drink?
HILTON: I don’t – I just feel like when you do that you put more attention to something. And when something is not true I just don’t pay attention to it because I know my friends and family know the true me.
This from one of the biggest attention, um, whores in North America, routinely seen exiting clubs lit up, at least before her jailing. I don’t know about now. And King never brought up the fact that she’d actually been photographed smoking “hand rolled cigarettes.”
A friend of mine had a small interview tv program for NHK in Japan, and I worked with him on his interviews. In that capacity, I went along to the CNN building in L.A., and Larry may have actually said “hi” to me. The friend asked him about the perception that he’s a softball pitcher, and he said that he feels that you should let people tell their story, and that you just let them. Which means that if they tell you a flat lie, apparently you just let it sail by.
I see he’s uploaded these onto the net now. Wow. The Bully! Pulpit Show Classics: Larry King on Vimeo Go to 13:20.
