'If Paris can party, she can also show up in court', says Zeta Graff

Diamond heiress and sometime actress, Zeta Graff, who has filed out a slander suit against Paris Hilton, has lashed out at the socialite’s attempts to postpone the case claiming that she is ‘emotionally distraught and traumatized’ by her impending imprisonment.

Graff, who filed the 10 million dollars suit in 2005 alleging Hilton of spreading lies about her, said that if Hilton can party in the nights, then should be able to turn up for the trial.

"If Ms. Hilton was night clubbing on Saturday night, she should not have been representing to the court on Monday morning that she was unable to participate in the trial," E! Online quoted her, as saying.

"Ms. Hilton should be required to explain her actions and account for them. Under the law, even Ms. Hilton is supposed to be held accountable for her actions," she added.

Last week, Dr. Charles Sophy, a psychiatrist, who examined Hilton, testified in the court that the ‘Simple Life’ star isn’t in a condition to face a trial, and that forcing her to face the trial would ‘exacerbate her current mental condition’.

Judge Linda Lefkowitz postponed the trial date from May 21 to August 22.

Graff sued the 26-year-old for spreading vicious lies about her after the two indulged in an altercation at London's Kabaret nightclub.

According to reports, in 2005, when Graff saw Hilton and Hilton's then fiancé Paris Latsis, who was hooked to Graff, at the club, she went "berserk" after seeing them and tried to choke Hilton and steal her 4 million dollar diamond necklace.
