Paris Hilton’s boyfriend Stavros Niarchos paid a passer-by $100 to pour a drink over a paparazzi cameraman.
The Greek shipping was accused last month of cruelly paying a homeless man $100 to tip a soft drink over himself – for the amusement of his rich friends.
However, it has now been revealed Stavros actually paid the stranger to hurl the drink at a shutterbug who was videotaping him, according to America’s New York Post newspaper. On the footage, Stavros – who is wearing a hooded top which partly obscures his face – is seen asking the man to carry out the stunt initially for just $10.
He is overheard saying: “Do it now. You have nothing to lose. I swear to you on my life.” After the man hesitates, Stavros, 20, ups his offer, saying: “I’ll give you $100. Don’t be a p***y. You have 5 seconds.”
As the shipping heir – who has been dating Paris since she split from ex-fiancé Paris Latsis – begins his countdown the man hurls the drink at the unassuming cameraman.
