Paris Hilton Settles Zeta Graff Lawsuit

When you’re uber-rich and famous, you have to be careful about what you say. Paris Hilton learned that one the hard way, after a woman she defamed came back at her with a $10 million lawsuit. But all is well now, as they have settled out of court.

Actress Zeta Graff, a former lover of Paris’ ex-fiancee Paris Latsis, was suing the heiress. Apparently the Simple Life star said some unsavory things about her in the press.

The New York Post reported that Graff attacked Paris in a London nightclub back in 2005. After further embellishments that ended up being untrue, Graff took legal action.

Paris’ former publicist released a statement that said he was asked by the former inmate to help plant the fictitious story for her. And that didn’t help Paris’ case one bit.

The details and conditions of the settlement are confidential, but it’s safe to say that Miss Graff just added a few zeros to the end of her net worth value.
