On Friday, Paris Hilton used her podcast This Is Paris to congratulate Lindsay Lohan on her recent engagement to Bader Shammas. Shammas works as the assistant vice president of Credit Suisse in Dubai and he and Lindsey have been seeing each other for about two years. Hilton is recently married herself, but Lindsey wasn’t at the wedding. The formerly close friends have had a tumultuous relationship, but Paris assured listeners she is very happy for Lohan.
“I also just saw that Lindsay got engaged,” Paris said on the episode. “And I know we’ve had our differences in the past, but I just wanted to say congratulations to her and that I am genuinely very happy for her.”
She went on, bringing up Britney Spears, alluding to her recent release from her conservatorship, and called the three of them the “holy trinity.” Paris, Britney, and Lindsay were big partiers and popular celebrity gossip targets in the early 2000s.
“It just makes me so happy to see, you know, 15 years later, and just so much has happened in the past two weeks,” said Paris. “I got married, Britney got her freedom back and engaged, and then Lindsay just got engaged.”
She continued, “So I love just seeing how different our lives are now and just how much we’ve all grown up and just having love in our lives.”
The feud itself is a bit complicated, but it supposedly began in 2006 when Lindsay was romantically linked to Greek shipping heir Stavros Niarchos, Paris’s ex. Soon after, Paris was recorded laughing at her friend Brandon Davis mocking Lindsay’s finances and who infamously called her a “fire crotch” to reporters.
“I think she’s worth about $7 million, which means she’s really poor. It's disgusting. She lives in a motel,” Brandon said as Paris laughed.
Things spiraled from there, though the two supposedly patched things up by 2009. Then in 2011, Paris made a joke about Lindsay being a thief after she was sentenced to 120 days in jail for stealing a necklace. She apologized, but then things went off the rails again in 2013, when Paris’s younger brother accused Lindsay of assaulting him at Art Basel, although it was later attributed to a man named Ray Lemoine. A comment from Paris on Instagram implied she thought Lindsay and Lemoine were in cahoots.
That’s all in the past. Lindsay moved to Dubai in 2014 and has since started a new life with Shammas, who she called “My love. My life. My family. My future.”
