In the interview with the British tabloid, the 27-year-old heiress is quoted as saying: “I think a lot of people have seen me on 'The Simple Life' and think I’m a “spoiled airhead.” But I was playing a character. The producers said they wanted Nicole and I just to be crazy and funny and say outlandish things. I’m a lot more serious and shy... and if I’m not out, having to be, you know, “on,” I’m at home just chilling and [wearing sweatpants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-heat-collection).” I wish people would just leave Paris alone. She’s just chilling in her sweatpants!
