Paris Hilton has made an honest confession about her sex life after revealing the misogynistic nickname she was given following the release of a tape in 2004.
After the mom-of-two shot to fame in the early 2000s staring alongside Nicole Ritchie in the hit reality series, The Simple Life, the tabloids completely obsessed over Hilton’s party-girl persona, tiny dogs, and fashion choices, as she quickly became on icon of the noughties.
But it was in 2004 that the star was thrust into a media frenzy, when her former boyfriend, Rick Salomon – who was 35 at the time – allegedly released a private video of the two without her consent.
She publicly revealed that she had been ‘out of it’ when the leaked tape, titled 1 Night In Paris, was filmed – a claim that Salomon later sued the reality star for making.
But Hilton countersued Salomon over the initial release of the tape, and reports suggest that she was rewarded around $400,000 in damages.

The 45-year-old opened up about life after the tape on an episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast last year, where she admitted that intimacy had been a struggle for her in the years following its release.
“I played into the character,” she confessed to host Alex Cooper about her 2000s party-girl persona.
But opening up about the reality of her experience, she admitted: “It just made me scared about anything that had to do with sex. Like after that I was so closed off.
“I didn’t want to hook up with anyone because I was just nervous.

“Like I would date people, but I would only kiss them because I would just be nervous to do anything else.”
Hilton said that while the ‘whole world‘ knew her as a ‘sex symbol’, she felt very different inside.
The American personality also claimed that she even gained the nickname ‘Miss Blue Baller’.
She explained: “That’s what people would call me because I wouldn’t do anything but then in the public people assumed something else.”
Her loyal fans rushed to the comments to share their love for the icon, as one said: “I hate the way female celebrities were treated by the media in the 2000s. So happy to see Paris thriving.”
As another added: “I saw Paris’ documentary a few years ago and my perception about her changed completely.
“She is not only a very beautiful woman, but she is smart, funny, kind and very inspiring.”
