“11 years ago today, me and Britney invented the selfie.”
Paris’ post quickly garnered a lot of attention with many laughing off the claim. However, there were other determined souls who went to the effort of finding proof to discredit Paris’ post. Sharing pictures from 1999 as far back 1839, Twitter users were swift and fast in their debunking of Paris’ claim.11 years ago today, Me & Britney invented the selfie! pic.twitter.com/1byOU5Gp8J

And while she might not have been the first, you can’t say that Paris is not synonymous with the selfie.This is the first ever photograph selfie in history, taken by Robert Cornelius in 1839. It's now in the collection of @librarycongress. ? pic.twitter.com/OJVQz7Rnrk
