After 1 Night in Paris, which Paris Hilton claims her “self-worth was stolen,” footage of her and then-boyfriend Rick Salomon was leaked as a porn video in 2002.
Paris Hilton yesterday opened up about her “humiliation” and “shame” after a sex tape was leaked.
Without Paris’s knowledge, footage of the socialite and her then boyfriend Rick Salomon having sex at the age of 19 was made available as a porn video titled “One Night in Paris.” The 44-year-old media personality described the trauma she has experienced since the leak as “abuse.”
The star said, “People called it a scandal,”’ he said yesterday at the United States Capitol in Washington, DC. It wasn’t, either. It was abuse, not. At the time, I was protected by no laws. What had been done to me was beyond words. Both the cruelty that came with using the internet and its novelty were still present. “
Paris previously claimed she didn’t receive “a single penny” from the porn video, although in 2005 she sued Rick over the release of the tape and was awarded as much as $400,000 (£300,000). The mother of two planned to donate a chunk of this money to charity.

Paris continued, “They (trolls) called me names at the Capitol. They laughed and inserted the punchline. They sold me my pain for clicks before telling me to be quiet, move on, or even be grateful.
They didn’t recognize me as a young woman who had been abused, they said. They overlooked my shame, humiliation, and panic because they didn’t notice. I lost control over my body and reputation, and no one ever asked me what I lost. I was taken from my sense of security and self-worth. “
The businesswoman noted that she has “fought hard to get those things back” and assumed she had in the years since the sex tape was leaked. However, with the development of artificial intelligence, it is now simpler than ever to sexually explicit someone.
The worst was past for what I thought, but it wasn’t. What happened to me then is now happening to millions of girls and women in a brand-new, terrifying way. Someone had to betray your trust and steal something tangible before. All it requires are a computer and the imagination of a stranger. “Deepfake pornography has become a pervasive epidemic,” Paris continued.
