1 Night in Paris is a
2004 pornographic video depicting
Paris Hilton and her then-
boyfriend Rick Salomon having sex. Not originally intended for release, it was filmed primarily with a single, stationary, tripod-mounted camera using "night vision." However, the final scene is filmed indoors without night vision, and features Salomon
climaxing after receiving
oral sex from Hilton.
Overview
The video was released by Salomon shortly before Hilton's TV series
The Simple Life debuted, causing a media sensation. When Hilton stated publicly that she was "out of it," didn't know what she was doing during the taping of the video and did not approve its public release, Salomon sued for
defamation. Hilton then countersued Salomon over the release of the tape, settling out of court in July 2005. According to reports, Hilton was awarded as much as $400,000 and planned to donate a percentage to charity.
