Earlier this year in January, Hilton gave a rare glimpse into how she became involved with Spears in the first place.While appearing on the podcast “I’ve Never Said This Before with Tommy DiDario,” Hilton revealed that the only thing she connected with the “Womaniser” singer was the harsh reality of the glamorous life.
She added: “I was with Britney a few weeks ago for her birthday in Mexico, and we were just talking about how cruel and mean-spirited people were at that time. And she’s someone who can relate to that. Very few people can.”
“It made us both very strong.”In 2023, Spears also released her memoir, “The Woman In Me,” in which she talked about the star’s influence on her life and their friendship. “It was never as brutal as the press portrayed it,” she noted.Over the years, both Spears and Hilton have maintained their bond and have also actively spoken about how grateful they are for each other.
