Paris Hilton's new reality show, "The World According to Paris", debuted on Oxygen last week to disastrous ratings.
However, rather than accepting at least some of the blame, Hilton's instead pointing her finger at the network.
"Paris is furious that the show didn't premiere at the time it was supposed to," an insider told Popeater.
"She worked her tail off doing promotion and publicity for the show and then because of a technical mistake, the show aired at a completely different time in a lot of markets."
A representative from the network denies that there were any glitches in her premiere episode.
"The show premiered at 10PM on Wednesday, June 1 as was promoted," an Oxygen spokesperson said in a statement. "There were no technical mistakes. We look forward to a very exciting run of the series."
A senior marketing manager tells us:
"This could be the last nail in the coffin. She has been replaced by Teen Moms and Snooki. She would have been better off not doing a new reality show at all then doing one that proves no one cares."
