Paris Hilton is backtracking comments she made about women who accused Donald Trump of sexual harassment.

In an interview with Marie Claire, Paris said, “I think that they are just trying to get attention and get fame.”

Now , in a statement to Us Weekly, the heiress stated: “I want to apologize for my comments from an interview I did last year. They were part of a much larger story and I am regretful that they were not delivered in the way I had intended. I was speaking about my own experiences in life and the role of media and fame in our society and it was never my intention for my comments to be misapplied almost a year later. I always believe in helping women have their voices heard and helping create an environment where women feel empowered and believe in themselves. I am deeply hurt by how this has played out and also deeply sorry. Moving forward I will continue to do what I can to be an advocate for girls and women with the hopes of providing a louder voice for those who may desperately need it.”
