Paris Hilton found herself commenting on her own Instagram post on Saturday to shut down “absolutely ridiculous” conspiracy theories about Britney Spears.
On Friday, Hilton shared a set of throwback photos from to mark her friend Cade Hudson’s 35th birthday – including one that shows her and Hudson posing with Spears.
In the comments, many people who thought it was a new photo claimed the image was a fake.
“That is not Britney,” one person wrote. Another commented: “That’s not Britney, not her teeth, her smile, her hand … Every post just makes things weirder.”
One comment read: ”Nope, not buying that pic of Britney. I think people are starting to wake up and smell the coffee.”
Someone noted that part of Spears necklace is missing and asked: “What’s wrong with her fingers?”
Others accused Hilton of trickery because she didn’t tag Spears in the pic. “You tagged every other celebrity in the other photos,” one person sniffed.
“How dare you participate in whatever is going on with Brit,” read a comment. “This won’t end well for you!”
Hilton clapped back: “To all of those asking. Some of these photos were taken on an iPhone so they ended up being blurry. So they used this app called Remini to make it look unblurry and sometimes the Ai distorts images,” she explained. “Didn’t want to even dignify this with a response. But some of these conspiracy theories are absolutely ridiculous.”
Remini is an app that promises to "restore old photos" and "unblur images."
