Paris Hilton is still grappling with the after effects of her sex tape being posted online without her consent.
The tape was infamously released by her ex-boyfriend Rick Salomon in 2004 and occupied a great deal of media and tabloid attention at the time. Hilton spoke about the tape during a Vanity Fair Cocktail Hour Live! interview on Thursday, April 15.
