Paris humiliated by porn video

Paris Hilton says she never thought the sex video she made with her ex-boyfriend would ever 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 in a statement in Los Angeles.

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.

Salomon contends that the tape was stolen and that copies were made and circulated by an acquaintance without his permission or knowledge.

Last week, he filed a £6m (€8.57m) slander suit against Hilton, her parents and publicist.

The suit maintains that Hilton was an “active participant” in making the video but she and her family have waged a malicious campaign to portray him as a rapist to protect her image.
