I’ve been branded as a whօre! Paris burst into tears because of the cover of Playboy
The singer, actress and DJ refused to take part in a photo shoot for an erotic publication. Paris Hilton was shocked when she saw herself on the cover of one of the 2005 issues.
The Chocolate Blonde comedy star often attended parties at the Playboy Mansion in her youth and even had close contact with two of his models, Nicole Lentz and Jennifer Rovero.
However, Paris refused the offer to decorate the cover of the publication, despite the fact that Hugh Hefner was ready to pay her a seven-figure sum.
“I didn’t need to be completely naked, but only topless. Then it was said that it is not necessary to be topless, you can just be transparent. And then he told me that I could wear whatever underwear I wanted. Even when he offered a seven-figure sum, I refused, ”Hilton assured.
Paris loved to experiment, but she was afraid that this step would negatively affect her life. She took the advice of her mother, who was a Playboy model in her youth, and called the idea «fierce trash.»
In addition, at that time, Paris could not recover from the scandal with an intimate video leaked to the Web by her ex-boyfriend Rick Salomon.
“I knew my mom would go crazy, and because I was already branded as a whore after the sex tape. I felt that the Playboy photo would just fix it in people’s minds, ”the artist explained.
The great-granddaughter of Conrad Hilton, the founder of Hilton hotels, appeared on the cover of the publication four years after this conversation. Paris did not need to participate in a spicy shoot for this.
The cover was shot from an advertisement for a burger joint featuring Hilton, which aired at the Super Bowl.
The model began to rapidly gain popularity, for which the founder of Playboy awarded her the title of «Sexy Star of the Year» and announced this on the front page, using the image of Paris as an illustration.
The issue with the Hilton caused a stir as readers expected to see her candid shots in the issue. But for the model it was a big shock. According to Hilton, her parents were «furious» and she «cried». “No one was surprised to see me on the cover of Playboy except me. It surprised me not in the best way, ”Paris quotes the Daily Mail with reference to the presentation of her biographical book Paris: The Memoir.
