Paris Hilton admits to feeling shamed when Pink parodied her sex tape

Written by on June 29, 2023

is letting it all out in her new memoir, including her infamous feud with Pink.

In 2003, porn indo her then-boyfriend Rick Salomon, 55,  pressured then-19-year-old Paris into filming a sex tape with him which he sold to the highest bidder in 2004.

Paris, 42, was much maligned and ridiculed for the tape but after a couple of years, things died down. But in 2006, Pink, 43, did a parody of Paris’ sex tape in the music video for her hit song Stupid Girls.  

In her memoir, the Simple Life alum – who also wrote about –  said she felt shamed and unsupported by Pink.

‘Pink sang about ‘outcasts and girls with ambition’ and said,  ‘That’s what I wanna see.’ But she chose not to see it in me,’ the mom of son Phoenix wrote.

About her infamous sex tape, the socialist wrote, ‘The world thinks of me as a sex symbol, and I’m here for that, because ‘symbol’ literally means ‘icon.”

‘But when people saw that sex tape, they didn’t say ‘icon,’ they said ‘slut.’ They said ‘whore.’ And they weren’t shy about it,’ she continued.

‘The whole video is a not-at-all-subtle send-up of ‘porno paparazzi girls’ in general and, specifically, me, in a parody of my infamous sex tape,’ she wrote.

But Paris isn’t holding a grudge against the Trustfall singer.

In fact, she insists that there was no feud between them and she’s not even mad at Pink. 

‘I have the attention span of a gnat, which means I suck at holding grudges,’ Paris wrote.”Anyway, anger doesn’t help; honesty does. So, I’m being honest right now.’

But Pink tells a different story.

During an interview on What What Happens Live in 2017, the So What singer recounted a run in with the Confessions of an Heiress author

‘Paris was upset with me,’ the What About Us singer said.’She said, ‘I just want you to know that I get it, I’m not dumb, I just play like I’m dumb.’ And I was like, ‘that’s kind of my point… I’m gonna go, good to see ya.”

But Paris gets it and has an important perspective to share.

‘When everyone was buzzing about a sex tape of a certain teenage girl from a soon-to-be-hit TV show – a girl who said emphatically over and over that she did not want the tape out there – the takeaway was Stupid Girl,’ she wrote.

As for why she agreed to film the sex tape, Paris was candid.

The Cooking with Paris star said that she was ‘tipsy and tired’ after a night out, but was reassured that the video would be ‘just for us.’

‘No one else would ever see it,’ she recalled him telling her.’And then he told me if I wouldn’t do it, he could easily find someone who would and that was the worst thing I could think of – to be dumped by this grown man because I was a stupid kid who didn’t know how to play grown-up games.’

Salomon was 33-years-old at the time. 

Later, he sued Paris for defamation when she was public about her dismay that the tape had been released.She countersued him and was awarded around $400,000 in damages.
