Saudi Arabia.
That image not sitting well with a lot of people the holy Muslim city and the woman best known for having a sex tape of -- juxtaposition isn't it.
Joining us now is Kelly Jane -- -- but I spent.
Go -- I was shocked when I saw that I was really surprised.
At around about the thinking.
Should Paris Hilton just go for the money -- capitalism open -- store in that group that's what you wanna do all.
Should she think about women's rights in the place where she is selling handbags what are you -- I think I think both now talked about capitalism.
People are saying they're outraged about this but obviously there's a market.
For people buying these -- is otherwise the mall wouldn't open the store.
And this is not even her first store in Saudi Arabia she's got four.
In the rest of the country this is the first and -- a true but people are already buying her banks and Saudi Arabian another interesting point.
Non Muslims are not allowed in Mecca so the people that -- -- buying these -- banks are actually Muslims the people who are saying -- out.
We don't women in Saudi Arabia the count vote they cannot drive a car.
They would account go out -- -- in the but I have -- husband draw blood relative within a -- blood relative.
And I would just reading over the weekend that husbands will now be informed.
I think via email or text if -- wives go out of the country.
This is of real juxtaposition.
Isn't it between the position of women in Saudi Arabia Mecca.
And -- the Paris Hilton's of this well who all for a -- -- freedom of sexuality.
Doesn't that juxtaposition strike you all.
It does strike me but what's more striking is the number of people who are angry about Paris Hilton opening her -- there but who aren't doing anything.
To help the plight of women in Saudi Arabia -- -- right in fact this monitoring that you mention.
Inside regularly have to have a male guardians usually their husbands or their father's -- their Brothers.
But for years -- any man any guardian could could that ask and -- -- any time.
A woman is the woman that he's darting -- leaves the country.
But now they're automatically sending text messages.
Without even being stuck out it was discovered the husband was traveling with his wife and got a text message saying she'd left the country -- -- -- laughed with him.
I think I mean that's where the real covering should be -- people are upset about -- handbag store.
And you look at the pictures of the store there's know there's -- pictures of parents any sort of that I could see it was all just can't banks.
I'd like people to be a little less worried about that and a little less little more concerned about what's going on in their own country with women there.
OK nick if that point Kelly -- I'm glad you told about this today because that I just shocked -- -- so I couldn't.
I I did not vote machine gun store and back I did not -- look.
It isn't -- it -- big juxtaposition of the big shock but let's keep in mind action -- Versace they weren't exactly yes thanks themselves half wolf said Kelly -- everyone that's very much indeed thank.
