The 32-year-old hotel heiress, who developed a reputation for being ditzy after starring alongside her then-best friend Nicole Richie in reality show 'The Simple Life' between 2003 and 2007, said it was all an act for TV, reported Contactmusic.
"When we did that, it was the first reality show. I'd never been on camera in my life. I didn't really know what to do. The producers told Nicole to be the troublemaker and me to be the ditzy blonde rich girl. I tried to play a character... I didn't realise I would end up doing that character for five years.
