Paris Hilton hits back at Nick Carter’s bad influence claims

Reported by Access Hollywood

Paris Hilton is speaking out following Nick Carter’s claims that their relationship was unhealthy.

Access Hollywood spoke to the Backstreet Boy about Paris, who wrote about the socialite in his book, “Facing the Music and Living to Talk About It.”

“It is what it was. I was with someone who wasn’t good for me at the time. I might not have been good for her at the time,” he told Access of the former reality star.

In his book Nick wrote, “Paris was the worst person in the world for me to hook up with.”

The 33-year-old singer also told Access, “We had the partying in common. It just is what it is. That’s life. You go through, you have exes and you have past situations. But I don’t fault her for anything.”

On Wednesday, Paris – who dated the singer in 2004 – responded Nick in a statement to Access.

“I don’t believe I was a negative influence on Nick, we dated for a very short period of time almost 10 years ago and when we met he was already a successful pop star, I’m pretty sure that was the only thing influencing him at the time. I’m glad he got help for his problems and wish him all the best,” the 32-year-old said.
