Hilton Rep Slams Drug Story
By WENNFriday, February 5, 2010
A representative for PARIS HILTON has furiously denied a story from an alleged member of the Hollywood burglar bunch, who insists he found drugs at the heiress’ home.
Nicholas Prugo is one of the key members of the so-called Bling Ring who allegedly stole designer clothing, jewellery and cash from properties owned by Hilton, as well as other stars including Lindsay Lohan, Orlando Bloom and Rachel Bilson.
The 19 year old has pleaded not guilty to a charge of felony first-degree residential burglary, but the criminal case has not stopped him going public with his story. He has appeared on U.S. TV’s Good Morning America and given an interview to Vanity Fair magazine, in which he mentions his alleged raid on Hilton’s home - claiming he found a stash of cocaine at the star’s property.
He told the magazine, “(Hilton is) dumb. Like, who would leave a door unlocked? Who would leave a lot of money lying around. We found about, like, five grams of coke in Paris’ house.”
Prugo’s lawyer, David Diamond, insists his client “did not steal anything” from Hilton, and the socialite’s representative has spoken out to deny the teenager’s story.
Dawn Miller, a spokeswoman for Hilton, tells the magazine, “I don’t know why anyone would listen to allegations made by a self-confessed thief.”
