Hilton, 29, was escorted out of the Brazil vs Netherlands quarterfinal match at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, according to reports.

Her rep later said that the "incident was a complete misunderstanding and it was actually another person in the group who did it. The case has been dropped against Paris and no charges will be made. The authorities have apologized for wrongfully accusing her since she had nothing to do with the incident."
