Kathy Hilton read the online criticism to footage of her meeting and holding her grandson Phoenix for the very first time, and she chalks her shaky reaction to nerves, not inexperience.
Hilton had no idea that she even had a grandson until her daughter Paris introduced him in a surprise reveal following her use of a surrogate, which was filmed for Season 2 of her Peacock show, “Paris in Love.”
Both Hiltons appeared on “Today With Hoda and Jenna” earlier this week to promote the show, which premieres Thursday.

“That was my first time seeing [that scene] on the ‘Today’ show,” Hilton told TheWrap at the DirecTV Celebrates Christmas at Kathy’s holiday event on Tuesday.
