Paris Hilton has said that she is donating money she earns from this movie (as part of a settlement with Rick Salomon and Red Light Video) to charity.
In her book Paris: The Memoir, Paris Hilton revealed that she was pressured by her ex-boyfriend Rick Salomon into making the sex tape. "I don't remember that much about the night he wanted to make a videotape while we made love. [...] He had often said it was something he did with other women, but I felt weird and uncomfortable about it. I always told him, 'I can't. It's too embarrassing.' [...] He told me if I wouldn't do it, he could easily find someone who would, and that was the worst thing I could think of - to be dumped by this grown man because I was a stupid kid who didn't know how to play grown-up games. [...] The truth is, I wanted to be alive in a sensual way. I wanted to feel like a woman who's comfortable in her own skin."
After the tape was recorded, a 37-second excerpt got leaked. Paris begged Salomon not to release the full version, but he ignored her pleas by saying he "had every right to sell something that belonged to him - something that had a lot of financial value."
