Paris Hilton talks about the media's mistreatment 

According to Paris Hilton, she was approached many times by David Letterman's team for an interview; however, she always tuned it down. When she had a fragrance line coming out, she finally agreed to go on the program under the condition that he wouldn't bring up Hilton's time in jail. However, Hilton says that Letterman did not keep his word and kept asking her questions like who she met in jail and what she ate there. She also mentioned how during commercial breaks she kept telling "please stop doing this" and "you promised me you wouldn't talk about this and that's the only reason I agreed to come on this show" and Letterman would respond with okay but then bring the topic up during the interview again.
