Paris Hilton defends son Phoenix, 1, not wearing life jacket on catamaran after backlash: ‘It’s a big boat’

That’s not hot.

Paris Hilton sparked backlash for posting a video of her 19-month-old son Phoenix on a catamaran without wearing a life jacket.

In the TikTok shared Wednesday, Hilton’s baby boy adorably crawled and walked around the boat in a cute burgundy outfit while being filmed by his famous mom.

However, critics in the comments section were more focused on the fact that Hilton didn’t put a life jacket on Phoenix.

“Momma, please have him wear a life jacket always on a boat!!” someone wrote. “Stuff happens. That’s why they’re called accidents.”

“My anxiety not seeing him in a life jacket!! Can never be too safe on the water!” another person wrote.

“Walking on the net over the open water terrified me,” a different fan said.

A fourth person wrote, “It makes me nervous. He needs a life jacket on. I worry so much about him.”

Another comment called Hilton’s video of Phoenix “crazy scary,” while someone else said their “heart palpitated” seeing the 1-year-old without a life jacket on.

Hilton eventually responded to the concerns in a comment on the video.

“Hey Mamma’s, thank you for the advice & always caring about my #CutesieCrew,” she wrote.

“It’s a big boat & my husband and I are following him around everywhere & watching like hawks,” Hilton continued. “My babies are my world.”

The famous socialite shares Phoenix with her husband, Carter Reum. They welcomed Phoenix via surrogate in January 2023.

The couple also share 9-month-old daughter London . She was born via surrogate in November 2023.

Hilton gushed over Phoenix while sharing the 1-minute-long boat video that was played to Ed Sheeran’s song “Photograph.”

“Watching Phoenix explore the world has been so special to me. I am so grateful to be a #SlivingMom,” Hilton’s caption read.

After Phoenix was born, Hilton had to speak out against haters who were making fun of the newborn’s head.

“There are some sick people in this world,” she commented on a video of her son in October 2023. “My angel is perfectly healthy.”

She added: “And yes, of course, he has been to a doctor, he just has a large brain.”

In a lengthier message on her Instagram Story, the “Simple Life” alum said that the comments about Phoenix were “unacceptable” but sadly “inevitable” being that she’s in the public eye.

“This hurts my heart more deeply than words can describe,” Hilton wrote.

While Hilton loves being a mom of two, she’s made it clear that she wouldn’t mind having another child — specifically another daughter.

“I would love a sister for London because my sister and I have such a close relationship,” Hilton told E! News in April, referring to her older sister Nicky Hilton, 40.

“I don’t know, I’m just enjoying them both so much right now. But that would be really amazing,” she added.
