Paris Hilton’s former business partner in Orlando nightclub arrested at Las Vegas Dunkin’ Doughnuts for allegedly trying to kill filmmaker who created a negative documentary
- Fereidoun Khalilian, 51, tried to have a man who once worked for him killed
- Khalilian, who goes by ‘Prince Fred,’ has had multiple run-ins with the law
- He and Hilton co-owned Club Paris in Orlando from 2004 until 2007
A man who was the former co-owner of Paris Hilton’s nightclub in Orlando has been arrested and is suspected of trying to arrange for a documentarian to be murdered.
Fereidoun Khalilian, 51, apparently tried to have the filmmaker, who previously had worked for him, killed for making what he felt was a negative documentary about him.
Khalilian, who goes by the name ‘Prince Fred,’ describes himself as an entertainment agent and entrepreneur on his Instagram account, which has over 235,000 followers.
He was in business with Hilton in the mid-2000s when they co-owned Club Paris in Orlando.
The club, which featured a private bedroom and was adorned in bright pink colors, was sold to Dior Entertainment and closed in 2007.

Hilton, when asked about her partner in 2005, said: ‘His first name is Fred. I can’t spell his last name.’
Further details on the attempted murder-for-hire have not been made public, nor has the name of the filmmaker been released, according to the LA Times.
Khalilian has a history with the law, however.
He was arrested on assault and sexual assault charges in both 2005 and 2007, with one of the employees of Club Paris accusing him.
‘I’m a diplomat. You can’t arrest me. I own Club Paris,’ he’s alleged to have said, according to TMZ.
He later pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery in November 2007 and was sentenced to a year’s probation and 200 hours of community service.
Khalilian also found himself in trouble during his time at Monster, an audio company that worked with rapper Dr. Dre to sell the Beats By Dre product.
His employees sought a restraining order against him, according to Fortune, for allegedly making ‘threats of mutilation, death, and threats to family.’

Khalilian now works in cryptocurrency and is often putting out a presence of a world traveler who interacts with celebrities like comedian Kevin Hart, NBA All-Star James Harden, singer Akon and rapper Drake
CEO Noel Lee said when they brought him in that Khalilian was a ‘genius’ but that ‘an acquired taste, because you don’t know what to make of him when you first meet him.’
