Paris Hilton admits she felt pressured into making sex tape with ex
‘He said if I didn’t do it, he could easily find someone who would’: Paris Hilton admits she felt pressured to make a sex tape with her ex, which made her feel ‘weird and uncomfortable’
Paris Hilton has discussed her regrets over her leaked sex tape in the early 2000s, made with her ex, Rick Salomon, when she was just 19 years old.
Speaking about it in her forthcoming book Paris: The Memoir, (out March 14), she said her ex, whom she doesn’t name but refers to as “Scum,” made her feel “pressured.” to do it.
In an excerpt appearing in The Times, Paris, 42, said: ‘I don’t remember much about the night I wanted to videotape our lovemaking.
“She often said it was something she did with other women, but I felt weird and uncomfortable about it. She always told him, “I can’t. It’s too embarrassing.”
She added: “He told me that if I didn’t, he could easily find someone who would, and that was the worst thing I could think of: being dumped by this grown man because I was a stupid kid who didn’t.” I don’t know how to play adult games.

Paris also admitted that he drank alcohol and took Quaaludes prior to the recording of the tape.
But he was horrified when a 37-second clip of the video began circulating online years later.
Paris has said she begged ‘Scum’ not to release the full version of the tape, but he said he had every right to sell something that belonged to him.
Saying she believed her “life was over”, Paris said she felt her “self-worth” was in shambles.
And while her family was devastated by the tape, Paris said that if she had chosen to sell the tape, she would have owned it, but the decision was taken out of her hands.
Paris also told Harper’s Bazaar magazine this month that she did not have strong sexual urges before she met her husband Carter Reum.
“I was known as a sex symbol, but anything sexual terrified me,” the Simple Life veteran said, leading her to believe she might be asexual.
I called myself the “kissing bandit” because I only liked to kiss. A lot of my relationships didn’t work out because of that.
Now that she’s met Carter, she’s pleased, the star made it abundantly clear to Harper’s Bazaar: “I enjoy hooking up with my husband.”
Praise for this man: Paris is now happily married to Carter Reum with whom she has a son (pictured together in February)
Family Matters: In last year’s documentary, Paris’ mother, Kathy Hilton (pictured), recalled being “in bed a lot” after the sex tape leaked.
Tell it all! Paris has been promoting her new self-titled memoir due for release on March 14.
