The Truth About Kim Kardashian's Time As Paris Hilton's Assistant

Publish date: 2024-05-08

When Paris Hilton was at the peak of her fame in the 2000s, Kim Kardashian was often around or next to her, even if people didn't really know who she was at the time. Kardashian appeared on The Simple Life a handful of times, including to help Hilton organize her closet. At this point, Kardashian was more punching bag than BFF.

Kardashian also tried to set the record straight in 2017 on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, telling the host, "I would work with Paris, and I would love to organize and clean out their closets and get rid of all their stuff and sell it on eBay and then shop for them, shop for her. That was my job. I loved it. But people will say 'assistant.' They always have it wrong."

While Kardashian didn't say what she would call herself rather than "assistant," she probably preferred the term "stylist." In either case, Kardashian was linked to Hilton and worked with her from roughly 2003 until 2006. Things changed in 2006 after Nicole Richie and Hilton had a falling-out. With Hilton's former bestie out of the picture, Kardashian ascended out of the role of employee and into the role of BFF.
