Overview

  • Hilton admitted she falsely claimed to have voted for Donald Trump in 2016, revealing she never cast a ballot to protect a family friend.
  • During her Cannes Lions interview with Louis Theroux she quipped that Trump “probably could have used a new spray tanner.”
  • She described the 2003 leak of her sex tape with Rick Salomon at age 19 as the most painful experience of her life, noting its lasting emotional toll.
  • Hilton recounted feeling pressured by Salomon to film the tape and expressed betrayal over its non-consensual release.
