Nicky Hilton Rothschild stands up for her family.
The mum-of-three, 40, attended Glamor magazine’s Women of the Year event on Tuesday night, where she opened page six about sister Paris Hilton and the rude comments she faced online regarding the size of her 8-month-old son Phoenix’s head.
“I think that if you mistreat a child, then you have serious problems and really [have to] look at you,” she straightened. “That’s so crazy.”

Paris Hilton thanks fans for son Phoenix’s ‘kind and caring’ video after online comments about his head
Last month, the new mom, 42, posted a series of photos of her son, who she shares with husband Carter Reuma, on Instagram to mark Phoenix’s first trip to New York City. Shortly after sharing, a TikTok user highlighted negative responses to the post, prompting Paris to respond that her “angel is perfectly healthy” and “just has a big brain.”
She then expanded on her response to comments about her son’s head in an Instagram Story. “Living in the spotlight, comments are inevitable, but targeting my child, or anyone else, is unacceptable,” she began.
Paris wrote that she was “deeply” hurt by the public’s reaction. “This hurts my heart more than words can describe. I have worked hard to foster an environment of nothing but love, respect and acceptance, and I expect the same in return,” the new mom wrote.

The Paris in love The star added that navigating motherhood as a social media personality has put her under scrutiny.
“If I don’t post my child, people will assume I’m not a good mother, and if I post it, there are some people who are cruel and hateful. I am a proud working mom and my child is perfectly healthy, wonderful and angelic,” Paris wrote, adding that her son has become the “greatest blessing” in her life.
“I’ve dreamed of being a mom ever since I can remember,” she explained. “Every day with him is a reminder of what is truly important.”
Paris concluded: “It’s hard to imagine that there are people in the world who would target such innocence. I hope people can treat each other with more kindness and empathy.”

Nicky — who shares 16-month-old son and daughters Theodora “Teddy” Marilyn , 5, and Lily-Grace Victoria , 6, with husband James Rothschild — caught up with PEOPLE at the Golden Heart God’s Love We Deliver Awards last month, where she raved about being able to spend time with Paris and Phoenix while they were visiting.
“My sister is in town with her son Phoenix and it’s really sweet,” Nicky said. “My kids play with her kids every day after school. They don’t get to visit New York very often so it’s fun to have all the cousins together.”
“They also go to the park in Washington Square. It was beautiful autumn weather,” she added.
Paris and Reum quietly welcomed their first child together on Jan. 16 via surrogate after tying the knot in 2021. Paris announced Phoenix’s arrival eight days after his birth on Instagram with a close-up photo of her holding his hand, writing, “You already loved without words 💙.”
