Paris Hilton slammed online hoaxers who claimed she confused Nelson Mandela for Martin Luther King, Jr., saying it is a “stupid fake tweet.”

Following the death of the former South African leader a tweet began circulating, purportedly written by Hilton, reading: “RIP Nelson Mandela. Your ‘I Have A Dream’ speech was so inspiring. Amazing man.”

It was retweeted 15,000 times before the 32-year-old got wind of it!
