Aside from being an actress and a model, Paris also dedicates a good portion of her life to standing up for social justice. She gave a powerful and memorable speech during the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards, weeks after a violent white supremacist rally resulted in the death of 32-year-old Heather Heyer. In her speech she said, “So, let’s leave here tonight remembering that we must show these white supremacist jerks in Charlottesville and all over the country… We have zero tolerance for their violence, their hatred, and their discrimination. We must resist.” The crowd erupted in applause.
