After dating over nine months, Paris Hilton and Benji Madden ended their relationship. Although Paris was spotted flirting with ex-boyfriend Stavros Niarchos in Miami over the weekend, Paris’ friends claimed Benji’s controlling ways were to blame for the split.

“Benji was overprotective and controlling. He doesn’t get along with any of her friends,” the source tells Us. “Friends thought Paris had changed since being with Benji and she wants to be herself again.”

“Nothing went on between Paris and Stav in Miami,” the source tells Us. “She was there for a girls weekend with her BFFs.”

The source added that Benji “really respected” Paris, and “they will be friends forever.” Or at least until the VD tests come back positive.
