“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 Thursday, celebrities took to Twitter to offer their condolences. A tweet began circulating, purportedly written by Hilton, reading: “RIP Nelson Mandela. Your ‘I Have A Dream’ speech was so inspiring. Amazing man.”

The tweet suggested the hotel heiress mistook Mandela for King, who delivered the civil rights “Dream” speech in 1963 on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. It was retweeted 15,000 times before the 32-year-old got wind of it, E! News reported.”* Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, John Iadarola, and Jimmy Dore break it down on The Young Turks.
