Paris Hilton thinks she would have been social figure like Princess Diana if it weren't for sex tape

Socialite Paris Hilton is known for many things.

Unfortunately, one of those thing is the sex tape she made with ex-boyfriend Rick Salomon, which was leaked to the public in 2003 when she was 18.

Hilton says she never consented to the tape being made public - making it a gross violation of her privacy.

But despite al that, Hilton has done pretty well since then.

The 36-year-old businesswoman is enjoying a career as a DJ, after finding fame on reality show The Simple Life in the 00s. She’s also released her own music, and dabbled in acting, writing and modelling.

But Hilton has opened up in an interview with Marie Claire about the aftermath of the sex tape, and says meeting Salomon is the one regret she has in life.

She then goes on to say that, if it weren’t for the tape, she could have been a social figure like Princess Diana.

Hilton told Marie Clarie:

It's really hurtful, because my whole life I really looked up to Princess Diana, all these elegant, amazing women, and I feel like [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
