In the documentary, Paris spoke of the infamous tape with ex Rick Salomon.

“Literally overnight my entire life changed…everyone was making fun of it. I didn’t leave my house for, like months. I was so embarrassed. I felt like everyone on the street was laughing at me,” she said while crying during the doc.

“It was like being raped. It felt like I’ve lost part of my soul and been talked about in such cruel and mean ways.”

She went on to discuss her public persona: “I’m a 21-year-old the past two decades. It’s all part of an image and a brand and being a product.”
