Her bubbly tweet, “Loving my beautiful new store that just opened at Mecca Mall in Saudi Arabia!” — was met with disgruntled comments such as: “Saudi claim there are other ways to allow for pilgrims, and if religiosity is of such importance, why is Paris Hilton being allowed a store in Mecca?”
The first comment was merely the understated, yet powerful “R u kidding?” Others latched on to starlet’s previous sex tape scandal, noting: “How can someone who made such a video open a store in the holy city next to the Grand Mosque?” And a further added: “It is not acceptable to have such a woman open her store here.”
But the 31-year-old remained undeterred by the comments and tweeted: “This is the fifth store in Saudi Arabia, and store number 42 in total! So proud to keep growing my brand!”
