Maligned Women of the 00s: From Your Screen to Your Stereo

Paris Hilton is now a well-respected DJ, but in the early 2000s, she was treated as a blonde bimbo from reality show The Simple Life with a sex tape. So naturally when made her debut as a singer with “Stars are Blind” in 2006, the world said “no thank you” before they even gave it a chance.  This week we’re talking about Paris, Lindsay Lohan, Heidi Montag and Kim Kardashian – maligned women from the 00s whose music careers flopped and whether or not the media narrative surrounding them had something to do with it.
