Hilton never thought tape would be public LOS ANGELES (AP) — Paris Hilton says she never thought the sex video she made with her ex-boyfriend ever would become public. "I feel embarrassed and humiliated, especially because my parents and the people who love me have been hurt," the socialite and reality TV actress said Monday in a statement to The Associated Press. "I was in an intimate relationship and never, ever thought that these things would become public." The heiress to the Hilton hotel fortune made a homemade video with then-boyfriend Richard Salomon three years ago. Snippets have been sent to various media outlets and have been making the rounds on the Internet. Salomon contends the tape was stolen and that copies were made and circulated by an acquaintance without his permission or knowledge. Last week, Salomon filed a $10 million slander lawsuit against Hilton, her parents and publicist. The lawsuit maintains that Hilton was an "active participant" in making the video, but she and her family have waged a "cold, calculated and malicious campaign to portray Salomon as a rapist" to protect her image. He also filed a $10 million lawsuit against an Internet p*rn company, claiming that Seattle-based Marvad Corp. distributed footage from the video without obtaining the legal rights. The company, in turn, filed a breach of contract lawsuit against Salomon's former roommate for more than $10 million. It alleges that Donald Thrasher of Los Angeles misled the company into believing he owned the rights to the video. Thrasher maintains he did have the rights and that Salomon, a friend of 11 years, gave them to him. "We had an agreement to sell the tape," Thrasher told The Associated Press Saturday. "He gave me the tape. Period." Messages left with Salomon's lawyer weren't immediately returned Saturday. Marvad reached an agreement with Hilton not to distribute any footage from the tape after learning she had not given consent for its public distribution, Marvad publicist Kevin Blagg said.
Never has the term "attention w****" been more appropriate. Will someone for the love of god get this woman out of the spotlight? Hell, give me CARROT TOP, ANYONE. Sheesh...
I admit that even though I think she's a waste of skin and isn't really all that great in the face or in the body-area, I would most likely go ahead and have sex with her if offered. But I'm really holding out for this one instead.
