It’s been fourteen years since the infamous sex tape of Paris Hilton and Rick Salomon was released.

The hotel heiress has now opened up about the incident in a new documentary film, The American Meme.

“It was like being raped, It felt like I’d lost part of my soul and been talked about in such cruel and mean ways,” Paris said.

“I literally wanted to die at some points. I was like, I just don’t want to live, because I thought everything was taken away from me. I didn’t want to be known as that.”

In a 2017 Marie Claire interview, Paris also spoke about the scandal, saying, “It’s really hurtful, because my whole life I really looked up to Princess Diana, all these elegant, amazing women, and I feel like Rick Salomon just took that all away from me.”

“I could have been like that, but because of that tape, I will always be judged and thought of as whatever they say about me because of a private moment between my boyfriend and me.”

Paris got candid in a preview for her new documentary.

Paris went on to say that she wished she never met her ex-boyfriend and that it was one of the biggest regrets in her life.

“I could not leave my house for months. I was so depressed, humiliated. I didn’t want to be seen in public,” the said.
