In video captured by our friends over at Buzz Foto, Paris Hilton shows off her renowned acting skills the day after her sentencing, reading a statement prepared by her attorneys having an impromptu conversation with some photogs. “I told the truth yesterday,” she says in this video. “I feel I was treated unfairly, and that the sentence is both cruel and unwarranted, and I don’t deserve this.”

In related news, Hilton’s longtime publicist, Elliot Mintz — who took responsibility on the stand for misleading Paris into believing she could legally drive — has resigned. Mintz issued the following statement:

The day after the hearing, I sent an e-mail expressing my sadness over the ruling of the judge and the irrational sentence he imposed. In that e-mail I also offered my sincerest apology for any misunderstanding she received from me regarding the terms of her probation. To the extent that I have miscommunicated information I received from her attorneys……I am deeply and profoundly sorry. I told her that I assume personal responsibility for my part in this matter. I believe when stated in court that she believed it was o.k. for her to drive under certain circumstances she was being absolutely truthful. Due to this misunderstanding, I am no longer representing Paris. For the record, I have nothing but love and respect for Paris and her family. Paris is a wonderful person and does not deserve the punishment that was handed down by the court. I only wish her my best.
