If I’ve learned anything from Steph Willems, its that choosing the correct subject matter is half the battle in setting-up a solid Freaky Friday post. This one checks all the important boxes: young love, restraining orders, celebrity involvement, grand theft auto, gambling, expensive automobiles, and a curse-laden freakout ending in arrest.
Conrad Hilton, the 23-year-old brother of professional … uh, celebrity (I guess) … Paris Hilton, was charged with felony auto theft this week after allegedly stealing a Bentley Continental over the weekend. He was picked up by police in front of the Hollywood Hills home of his ex-girlfriend, Hunter Salomon, who had previously issued a restraining order against him.
The stolen Bentley belonged to Hunter’s father, Rick Salomon. If that name sounds familiar, he’s the man that won $2.8 million in the World Series of Poker in 2014, made a sex-tape with Paris in 2003, sued the Hilton family for deformation, and then began distributing the video himself a year later.
Very gross.
In the restraining order, Hunter confirmed she had dated Conrad Hilton and claimed he had assaulted one of her family members (a minor), then harassed and stalked her after they broke up. According to documents acquired by The New York Daily News, the filing included a printout of a text message Hilton had sent her where he asked her to “please get a restraining order on me. I’m tired of sitting outside your house … May I please see you before I kill myself?”
Hilton was also sitting outside of her home when police arrived to arrest him, the 2007 Bentley idling in the middle of the street. Solomon lives there with her mother Elizabeth Daily, who was the voice of Tommy Pickles of Rugrats fame. The family had beefed up home security measures in fear of Hilton.
In a video shared by TMZ, the car is seen standing in traffic with the doors open as Conrad begins a slur-filled argument with police. The highlight moment is when he screams, “I’m Conrad mother-fucking Hilton. Don’t you forget it.”
Due to appear in court on Tuesday, Hilton initially refused to leave his jail cell. When he finally did, he was mildly disruptive and claimed to have been assaulted by the arresting officers. A judge set Hilton’s bail at $90,000 on Wednesday in his felony auto theft case. Another $10,000 and $40,000 were tacked on for pending misdemeanor cases that both revolve around interactions with the Salomon family. If he’s convicted, he could spend up to four years in prison — which is just a bit worse than a Hilton.
Can we cut off his hands for stealing?
“Can we cut off his hands for stealing?”
If he is anything like his sister, he would do just fine without hands.
I find it a tad bit odd he is/was dating the daughter of the man who nailed his sister (half sister?) way back when.
This
I thought the TV show “The Beverley Hillbillies” had used up all the wacky plot twists. I sit corrected.
He was dating the daughter of the guy who made a sex tape with his sister. The circles of people in the very wealthy set apparently aren’t very big.
Seriously though, I feel bad for this guy’s clear personality disorder (or other mental illness) being the butt of so many jokes just because his family’s rich.
It makes me wonder how I would have turned out if I was raised in a family where money was never an issue and I had no real direction in life because I didn’t need it.
Good questions.
Punk behavior seems to be lubricated by money, but often it’s lurking inside anyway.
I suspect Conrad is about to learn all about lubrication, by money or otherwise.
The only difference between the above and Arkansas trailer trash is a trust fund.
It’s like the meme that was going around about Fifty Shades of Gray.
If the story was set in a trailer in a mobile home park, he would be in jail.
Or, the local Sheriff .

How does one sue for “deformation”?
Uh oh, Toyota’s going to be sued by their entire 2017 lineup.
Auto journalism ain’t what it used to be.
C-grades and a high school degree seem to cut it, these days.
I think it involved Paris’ fist and insufficient lubrication. And Salomon is actually “Goatse”.
Actually, I’m sure the cops *won’t* forget it’s Conrad Hilton – ever.
Since that Bentley is only worth about $60k now, he should have just bought the car instead of incurring all those fines.
I’M LUKE CAGE!
