When Paris Hilton woke up on Tuesday (July 27) morning, she was ready to dive into a full day of press for her new Netflix series, Cooking With Paris. She was not, however, planning to field questions about the pregnancy rumours that had spread online, after a tabloid report was published, stating that the socialite-turned-businesswoman is expecting her first child, which Hilton says is not true.

Although Hilton is used to rumours being spread about her, she tells Variety that the false report, which spread like wildfire across international outlets and on social media, highlights the mistreatment of women in media.
