Paris Hilton: The leak of the sex tape and the “transformation” of the blonde Barbie into a big businessman and mother

In the 2020 documentary This Is Paris, the socialite claimed she was physically and mentally abused at school

Paris Hilton surprised her fans and followers when she revealed a few days ago that she welcomed her first child through a surrogate. It was the latest twist in the life of the 41-year-old heiress, after a series of dramatic redefinitions.

Paris Hilton became famous after the sex tape was leaked in late 2003. A leak that coincided with her appearance on the reality series ‘The Simple Life’, along with Lionel Richie’s daughter Nicole.

Paris has since redefined her image, focusing on her business activities and more recently positioning herself as an activist.

Paris Hilton, who was born in New York on February 17, 1981, spent much of her life moving between the coasts with her parents and four siblings. The family spent most of their time on the West Coast. However, in 1996, when she was about 15 years old, the family moved back east to New York, when Paris was in her teens. For Paris, adolescence was particularly difficult…

Her parents, Kathy and Richard, who couldn’t take it anymore, finally sent her to Provo Canyon School in Utah. In the 2020 documentary This Is Paris, the secular lady claimed she was physically and mentally abused at the school, while several other people at the school have backed her claims, saying they were abused there themselves.

Paris claimed she was drugged while at school. The future reality star also said she was forced to stay in an isolation room for 24 hours. He stayed at the school for 11 months, until he turned 18 in 1999.

After returning home, she began to establish herself as a model, even after she became famous through the leaked sex tape. In 2001, she appeared in a sex tape made by her then-boyfriend, Rick Salomon, which was leaked online in 2003. In 2004, her ex-partner posted the sex tape online in an attempt to make money from it.

Rick Salomon filed a lawsuit against his ex after she claimed she was unable to fully consent and did not approve the release, which he claimed defamed him by implying he was taking advantage of her.

She also sued him for invasion of privacy and they eventually settled, with Salomon paying her $400,000 and a portion of the profits!

Meanwhile, “The Simple Life” ran for three seasons on Fox before her relationship problems with Richie led to its cancellation and subsequent revival for two more seasons on E!, though both later became friends again

In 2006 she was convicted of dangerous driving, since she herself was under the influence of alcohol. In the years that followed, Paris Hilton tried to “fix” her image outwardly, taking on small acting roles. She also returned to reality TV with ‘Paris Hilton’s My New BFF’, which ran for two seasons, airing in the UK and Dubai.

The reality star changed her image, focusing on her perfume lines, while also showing off her musical skills as a DJ after a brief attempt at becoming a pop star.

She also changed her relationship with fashion, opting for more elegant and sophisticated ensembles compared to the outfits she sported during her partying years.

In 2020, she gave her fans what she says is a true picture of who she really is through the documentary This Is Paris, which detailed her abuse at the Utah boarding school while also giving a glimpse of her her real voice, as she previously used a higher-pitched, goofy sound on her reality shows and in many public interviews.

Throughout her career, Paris Hilton has had an interesting love life. She was romantically linked to Leonardo DiCaprio, Backstreet Boys singer Nick Carter, and many business magnates. In 2005, she got engaged to Greek shipping heir Paris Latsis, but the engagement didn’t last long.

Actor Chrisy Zylka proposed to her in early 2018, only to call off their engagement in November of that year. But her most enduring romance was with businessman Carter Reum, whom she began dating in 2019.

The two got engaged on February 13, 2021 and tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in November 2021. A few days ago, Paris Hilton revealed that she and Carter welcomed their first child.

“Becoming a mother has always been my dream and I’m so happy that Carter and I found each other,” she said. “We are so excited to start our family together and our hearts are bursting with love for our little boy.”
