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."
<i>waahhhhhhhh</i>
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 that 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 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 "cold, calculated and malicious campaign to portray Salomon as a rapist" to protect her image.
He also filed a $10 million suit against an Internet porn 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.
His former roommate stole the video? Nice guy. I hope he has an extra $10 mil laying around..

Good grief, what 'image' are they trying to protect? Even before this tape, she seemed like a complete skank ho.

I still don't blame the roommate...the boyfriend must have at the least told the guy what was on the tape and probably showed him too. He deserves what he gets. Although any girl that allows a video to be made (without taking it with her afterwards) kinda deserves what she gets as well. Money apparently doesn't protect you from being just plain stupid.

That's a load of crap. She's a media whore.
This video is just one more way to keep her name in the spotlight. I don't feel sorry for any of them. You reap what you sow.

When you make a video like that, you have to take the chance that someday it may get out. What was she thinking?

Why is it that the people with all the money are so often such losers? Someone should fine them for being so stupid and redistribute the cash to the rest of us.
