“Pink sang about ‘outcasts and girls with ambition’ and said, ‘That’s what I wanna see.’ But she chose not to see it in me,” Hilton writes.
In her memoir, Hilton reveals she was pressured into filming the tape with Salomon, who was 13 years older than her on the time. She was 19 whereas he was 32.
“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,” she writes.
Addressing the sex tape itself, Hilton writes: “The world thinks of me as a sex image, and I’m right here for that, as a result of ‘image’ actually means ‘icon.’
