In a recent heartfelt social media post, Paris Hilton opened up about the heartache and frustration she experienced when faced with hurtful comments about her 8-month-old son, Phoenix Barron.

As a resilient and loving mother, Hilton wasted no time defending her child against these hurtful words.

A Wonderful and Resilient Child

Hilton, known for her grace under pressure, emphasized that baby Phoenix is not only “perfectly healthy” but also possesses a “large brain.” She wanted to make it clear that her son is a thriving little individual who deserves respect and love.

Taking to her Instagram Story, Hilton expressed her disappointment in those who would attack her child. As a public figure, she expects comments, but targeting her child or anyone else’s is simply “unacceptable” and deeply hurtful.

Hilton has worked tirelessly to create an environment of love, respect, and acceptance, and she hopes for the same in return.

The Challenges of Motherhood in the Public Eye

Navigating motherhood in the public eye can be challenging, and Hilton acknowledges the unique struggles she faces. Some people assume that if she doesn’t post about her baby, she’s not a good mother.

On the other hand, when she does share moments of joy, there are those who respond with cruelty and hatefulness. However, Hilton remains steadfast in her love and pride for her son.

She describes him as “perfectly healthy, adorable, and angelic,” considering him the “biggest blessing” in her life. Her dream of becoming a mother has truly come true.

For Hilton, every day spent with Phoenix serves as a powerful reminder of what truly matters in life. Despite the hurtful comments, she pleads for kindness and empathy among people.

It is difficult for her to comprehend why anyone would attack such innocence. By courageously sharing her story, Paris Hilton hopes to inspire more compassion in the world.

And while the experience opened her eyes to cruelty, it also led to her being uplifted by moms in her circle and across the internet who came to her and Phoenix’s defense.

“It makes me feel so grateful knowing that there’s so many people in the world that love and support me. Sticking up for me meant the world to me, and to have people looking out for Phoenix in that way, it meant a lot.”

The Paris In Love star says that she’s been inundated with letters, DMs, and other messages from parents who were in disbelief that she had to go through this so early in her parenting journey.

“I’ve just been reading all the messages from people saying how much they love Phoenix and how beautiful he is and to not listen to the trolls. That just meant a lot to me, to see how much love there is for me and my son. So anyone reading this, thank you so much. I really, really appreciate everyone looking out for us.”

Hilton is stepping into the holiday season as a mom of two, embarking on this new chapter of parenting alongside Reum, and says she’s “just over the moon that our little princess is here!”

“My life just feels so complete, having my little baby boy and now my little girl,” she tells PEOPLE.

Hilton says the couple, who welcomed son Phoenix, “are just so grateful and so happy. It’s exciting to be spending our first holidays as parents.”

“I’m looking forward to those moments so much. The holidays have always been special to me, but now they’re even more special now that I have a family to share it with.”
