USA TODAY can confirm the accuracy of the Sunday Times’ excerpt.

“I don’t remember that much about the night he wanted to make a videotape while we made love,” Hilton writes, according to the Sunday Times, revealing that she drank alcohol and took Quaaludes prior to the making of the tape. “He had often said it was something he did with other women, but I felt weird and uncomfortable about it. I always told him, ‘I can’t. It’s too embarrassing.’”

Paris Hilton reveals son’s name,why she and Carter Reum kept it a secret from family

In an excerpt of her upcoming book “Paris: The Memoir,” Paris Hilton gets candid about the tape she made with boyfriend Rick Salomon in 2000.

Despite not being “capable of the level of trust required to make a videotape like that,” Hilton says she was pressured into making the tape and was assured that “no one else would ever see it.”

“He told me if I wouldn’t do it, he could easily find someone who would, and that was the worst thing I could think of – to be dumped by this grown man because I was a stupid kid who didn’t know how to play grown-up games,” Hilton writes. “The truth is, I wanted to be alive in a sensual way. I wanted to feel like a woman who’s comfortable in her own skin.”

But the tape would come back to haunt Hilton a few years later when a 37-second clip of the video began circulating online.

Hilton, a then-budding TV star with the imminent launch of her show “The Simple Life,” begged Scum not to release the full version of the tape. Her ex-boyfriend told her that he “had every right to sell something that belonged to him – something that had a lot of financial value.”

“I felt like my life was over, and in many ways it was. Certainly, the career I had envisioned was no longer possible,” Hilton writes. “Everything I wanted my brand to be, the trust and respect I was trying to rebuild with my parents, the sliver of self-worth I’d been able to recover – all that was instantly in ruins.”

Worse than the intense media glare that followed the tape’s release was the emotional toll the controversy took on her family.

“My mom just crumpled into bed and stayed there. My dad, red-faced and furious, worked the phones, calling lawyers, calling spin doctors, trying to help me marshal any hope of damage control,” Hilton writes. “(Hilton’s brothers) Barron and Conrad were plenty old enough to understand what it all meant, and they were so weirded out they could hardly look at me.”
