Paris Hilton thinks most men on Grindr have AIDS

We always assumed Paris Hilton was not really the space cadet she pretends to be when interviewed. Now, we're not so sure.

The Hilton hotel heiress was caught making some nasty remarks about gay people while visiting Manhattan for New York Fashion Week. The incident occurred a few weeks ago, when Paris and a pal hopped into a cab. Luckily for us, the cab driver taped the conversation between Paris and her bud.

The male friend seemed to be explaining hook-up apps. He said: "Say I log into Grindr, someone that's on Grindr can be in that building and it tells you all the locations of where they are and you can be like, 'Yo, you wanna fuck?' and he might be on like, the sixth floor."

Paris seemed repulsed by the whole idea. "Ewww. Eww. To get fucked? Gay guys are the horniest people in the world," she said. "They're disgusting. Dude, most of them probably have AIDS."

Wow!

When the clip was released this week by Radar Online, Paris' rep was quick to comment. 

The rep explained that Paris was simply expressing "that it is dangerous for anyone to have unprotected sex that could lead to a life-threatening disease,” and added that the remarks were actually in reference to a close gay friend who told Hilton about another gay man who has AIDS but still solicits sexual partners on Grindr.

“Paris Hilton is a huge supporter of the gay community and would never purposefully make any negative statements about anyone’s sexual orientation,” the rep added.

And though we think Paris is a big twit, there is a little issue of a cab driver taping people's private conversations ...
