After her competitive streak at Chilton, her ups and downs with romance and school at Yale, and her messy personal life in the Netflix revival A Year In The Life, Gilmore Girls fans know that Paris's life hasn't been easy. After she's introduced as a tough character with parents who ignore her, viewers quickly see a softer side to Paris, despite her harsh remarks. But even though many fans love watching Paris grow up, others see some problems with the way that she behaves.
From Paris's tendency to scream to her relationship with Doyle, Gilmore Girls fans are sharing their unpopular opinions about this beloved character on Reddit.
10 Paris Yells Too Much
If fans can think of one word that describes Paris, it would definitely be tough, and she seems fairly confident in most Gilmore Girls scenes as she tends to yell when she's upset, angry, or passionate about something. In countless scenes, especially during the Chilton years, Paris yells at Rory and makes her feel horrible.
Redditor reflectiveruse thinks that Paris can be too harsh of a character. The fan wrote that it's confusing that fans "find Paris yelling at Logan's doctor admirable" when they don't like when Emily is mean at the hospital in season 1 during Richard's heart problems. The fan noted that Paris is mean at the Dragonfly Inn, which terrifies Sookie.
9 Paris Isn't A Good Friend
Many fans feel that Rory and Paris have a great Gilmore Girls friendship, as they experience Chilton and all of its stressors, get older together, and even live together at Yale. In the revival, it's clear that they have remained in touch and that their relationship feels important.
Redditor Velocity970 called Paris a "terrible" pal and wrote, "why does anyone even tolerate her?" While viewers know that Paris can be a lot for Rory to handle at first, fans tend to agree that Paris reveals herself to be genuine and compassionate, making her a good friend.
8 Paris Isn't The Best Character
For several fans, Paris is one of the most interesting and exciting characters on Gilmore Girls. Paris does her best with the tough home life that she has been given, explores the dating world, works hard no matter what school she's attending, and becomes close to Rory. Paris also starts her own business and has a family in the revival and seems admirable, intelligent, and inspiring.
Redditor GingaBear202020 shared the unpopular opinion that while Paris "serves her purpose on the show, but she is not one of my favorite characters."
7 It's Okay That Doyle And Paris Are Getting Divorced
When fans tuned into A Year In The Life, several things felt upsetting, from Rory's mess of a personal life to the fact that Luke and Lorelai are still unmarried. Viewers were also stunned that while Paris and Doyle got married and had kids, they were splitting up.
Redditor moonlightsmyway thinks that "Paris can do better than Doyle" and also added the unpopular opinion that the couple "getting a divorce isn’t completely shocking."
6 Paris Treats Doyle Badly
When thinking about Paris and Doyle's Gilmore Girls relationship, it's clear that things are never totally perfect. But fans still tend to agree that the couple is a positive one, as they care about each other, get along, understand one another, and embrace that they are quirky and different from other people.
Redditor PreparationOk620 thinks that Paris treats Doyle really badly and wrote, "She kicked him out of their apartment like 5 times, with no valid reason."
5 Paris Doesn't Respect People's Schedules
The general consensus is that Paris is smart, in control of her life, and compelling, but a fan thinks that Paris has some less than admirable personality traits.
Redditor Logan mentioned the season 2 episode "Richard In Stars Hollow," Paris thinks that it's a good idea to walk around the town and see if there is anything dangerous going on. Fans tend to see this storyline as Paris not understanding small towns and being a bit too aggressive about a school project. The Reddit fan wrote that Paris has a "blatant lack of respect for other people’s time."
4 Paris's Treatment Of Rory At First Makes No Sense
Although season 1 of Gilmore Girls improves with time, one Redditor isn't a big fan of the way that Paris behaves when she first meets Rory at Chilton. The fan wrote that Paris is "mean for absolutely no reason to Rory" and this behavior "never seemed justified."
While fans agree that Paris is intense and cold during these early episodes, the general feeling is that she's threatened by Rory's intelligence and nervous about giving up her top spot at the school, so fans feel that her behavior does make sense.
3 Paris Behaves Worse Than Rory Does
Gilmore Girls fans have a lot of trouble with the way that Rory acts once she graduates from Chilton. Whether stealing a yacht or just making other small but random decisions, viewers expected more from this character who had seemed to have so much potential.
Many fans feel that Paris is on a steady, logical and confident path throughout the show, but one fan shared the unpopular opinion that Paris behaves worse than Rory. Redditor Dry_Junket9686 doesn't like how Paris behaves when she's the editor of the Yale Daily News and wrote that her "levels of incompetence, arrogance, and general disrespect are worse than anything Rory has ever done."
2 Why Do Fans Love Paris When She Treats Others Badly?
Gilmore Girls fans love Paris's hilarious quotes and enjoy watching her stand up for herself and show off her intelligence. But while there are countless moments when Paris has some sassy dialogue, not everyone is a big fan of the way that she speaks.
Redditor jaylee-03031 thinks that "Paris was downright cruel to her classmates" and that this makes it tough to like her.
1 Paris Isn't A Good Person
After watching Paris for seven seasons and the four-episode Netflix revival, viewers feel that Paris has grown a lot. While she's still tough and strong, she can be nice in some situations, and she cares about the people in her life.
While several fans posted in Reddit threads that they think that Paris is a great character but might not be a nice person to know IRL, Redditor Turningcircles shared the unpopular opinion, "I think she is a terrible person."
