Paris Hilton celebrated the 18th anniversary of her iconic pap photo shoot as she drove with Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears in a car.
“18 years ago today, this photo became an era-defining moment. @BritneySpears, @LindsayLohan, and me—the Holy Trinity. Instantly iconic,” she captioned her post on Instagram.
The photo was taken in November 2006 while leaving a party at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles.
While the three of them appeared happy and lively in the photo, Hilton previously shared that it was a bit awkward when she and Lohan were arguing.
Hilton explained on a 2021 episode of her podcast This is Paris, life is simplethat the photos were taken after a father asked her about a video in which Lohan claimed Hilton hit her.
“[Spears and I] were walking to the car and suddenly we were surrounded by lots of paparazzi. As we were walking to the car, Lindsay walked up. It’s awkward because we’re having some trouble,” Hilton said.
“Then I saw Lindsay walking towards us and I said, ‘Why don’t you ask her?’” she continued.
“And Lindsay said… ‘No, Paris would never hit me, I’ve known her since I was 15.’ It’s basically just not admitting what she did, you know, it’s kind of awkward to be asked that question and it’s kind of weird that the whole thing happened like that,” Hilton said. more.

Now, Hilton says much of the drama happened because they were young at the time and the media also played a role in it.
