Tana Mongeau Is Giving Credit to Paris Hilton For Paving The Way For Her

Tana Mongeau says that Paris Hilton paved the way for her.

In a recent interview, the 21-year-old opened up about looking up to the heiress.

“Everything I am is cause of Paris,” Tana said, via TooFab. “She like paved the way for me. A girl like me who is literally famous for nothing — Paris Hilton taught us how to make that a business, you know what I mean?”

“I grew up off The Simple Life where they really made just being a personality a thing,” she added. “I feel like everyone needs to respect Paris Hilton… she f–kin paved the way for hoes like me.”

Tana will also be working with Paris on a huge project.

“We were just partying and being friends for a while, and finally I asked her to work on something really big and she said yes,” Tana said. “I was like ‘I don’t know why you’re saying yes’ – it’s charity work to the max.”
