Elliot and Paris Together Again/The Purpose of Taking a Stand For Paris

Elliot Mintz is once again representing Paris Hilton as her publicist.

He seems to be a great supporter of Paris, and proved so by continuing to support her fully after he was no longer representing her over the weekend.

ATTENTION
RE: PARIS HILTON PETITION I CREATED

THE PURPOSE OF THE PARIS HILTON PETITION IS TO BRING ATTENTION TO THE INJUSTICE SHE MUST ENDURE AS A RESULT OF HER JAIL SENTENCE. THE PURPOSE IS NOT TO USE MS. HILTON'S STATUS AS AN EXCUSE FOR HER TO BE PARDONED. SHE SHOULD BE ALLOWED A CHANCE TO PROVE THAT SHE IS NO COMMON CRIMINAL AND DOES NOT DESERVE 45 DAYS IN JAIL.

Paris Hilton's Publicist Elliot Mintz Supports Paris

Elliot Mintz made this statement regarding Paris' sentencing:

"THE DAY AFTER THE HEARING. I SENT PARIS AN E-MAIL EXPRESSING MY SADNESS OVER THE RULING OF THE JUDGE AND THE IRRATIONAL SENTENCE HE IMPOSED.

IN THAT E-MAIL I ALSO OFFERED MY SINCEREST APOLOGY FOR ANY MISUNDERSTANDING SHE RECEIVED FROM ME REGARDING THE TERMS OF HER PROBATION. TO THE EXTENT THAT I HAVE MISCOMMUNICATED INFORMATION I RECEIVED FROM HER ATTORNEYS......I AM DEEPLY AND PROFOUNDLY SORRY. I TOLD HER THAT I ASSUME PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR MY PART IN THIS MATTER.

I BELIEVE WHEN PARIS STATED IN COURT THAT SHE BELIEVED IT WAS O.K. FOR HER TO DRIVE UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES SHE WAS BEING ABSOLUTELY TRUTHFUL.
DUE TO THIS MISUNDERSTANDING, I AM NO LONGER REPRESENTING PARIS.

FOR THE RECORD, I HAVE NOTHING BUT LOVE AND RESPECT FOR PARIS AND HER FAMILY. PARIS IS A WONDERFUL PERSON AND DOES NOT DESERVE THE PUNISHMENT THAT WAS HANDED DOWN BY THE COURT. I ONLY WISH HER MY BEST."
