Why Paris Hilton Sued Nabila Haniss Over A $2k Locker Way Before Storage Wars

Nabila Haniss had some memorable scenes while she was on “Storage Wars,” but it’s interesting how the biggest buys from her came off-camera. Years after the Paris Hilton incident, Haniss purchased a storage unit that belonged to internet personality Tila Tequila, according to TMZ. She paid under $3,000 for the space and found similar personal items from the celebrity, including a diary, clothing, Louis Vuitton bags, and self-portraits. Haniss reportedly reached out to Tila Tequila to see if she wanted her belongings back but never heard back, and her plan was to sell the paraphernalia on eBay.

Yahoo reported another incident in 2019 when Haniss and her bidding partner purchased a storage unit filled with black cases for $6,900. The cases contained military equipment that was part of an ongoing investigation, and the government seized the assets. Haniss and her partner sued the government for taking items they legally purchased, but it’s unclear what the outcome of the case was. 

Haniss has certainly found herself in plenty of hot water over the years due to her purchases. It may not come as a surprise to “Storage Wars” viewers, as she was a bit of a wild card, evidenced by a prank she pulled by getting Darrell Sheets to purchase a locker for way more than it was worth. All’s fair in love, war, and storage unit bidding.
