Paris Hilton Instagram

Paris Hilton posted an interesting throwback picture yesterday of “Baby Paris” dressed up in a very adult costume for Halloween.

“Dressing up as #PlayboyBunny for Halloween,” the heiress said on Instagram, adding the hashtags #BabyParis and #ThrowbackThursday.

Even though the picture was posted directly after ones of her dressed up in barely-there bondage costumes and others of her completely topless, many followers thought the throwback picture was the most controversial of the bunch.

“Cute but really…. You’re like 8 here… No way in hell my child would dress up as a playboy bunny at that age,” one fan commented.

Another was a bit more direct, saying, “That’s f**ked up!”

The criticism was so loud that Paris ultimately explained herself.

“By the way, to all the people who can’t take a joke. I was kidding,” she said three hours after the original post. “I wasn’t really dressed as a #PlayboyBunny. I was 5 years old & had no idea what that was. I was just dressed as a bunny on Halloween.”

Whew! Glad that one was cleared up… Even though Paris also referred to the costume she was wearing in this picture with Hugh Hefner as “the Easter Bunny.”
