![]() It was that these people had the footage and were looking to sell it.” I think they just wanted to be in control the whole time … It wasn’t that they were representing the people in the video. This person’s prepared.’ Usually you just get the footage and we’d put it into one of our edit bays but it in this case it was very much compact and all together. The person brought it in and they had the footage on this computer and they came in with this big, like, rolling suitcase and they unpacked all of it. Steven Hirsch, the founder and co-chairman of Vivid Entertainment: “Someone just called the office one day and said, ‘We have some footage of a celebrity.’ Somebody took the call and we set up a time to talk. Literally the next time I heard about her that there was this tape for sale.”Įarly reports about the tape erroneously suggested that an unsavoury sex act known as “water sports” was included in the footage. So I made a mental note that Paris has this incredibly good-looking friend called Kim Kardashian. And I just thought, ‘Who is that woman?’ I was so struck by how beautiful Kim was and I just thought that she looked like a star and I’d never heard of her. He also said that the paparazzi were “keeping an eye” on Lachey because of the media interest in his dating life, and “my client had nothing to do with the paparazzi getting those photos.”īen Widdicome, longtime New York journalist (and native Australian) who broke the news of the sex tape in his Gatecrasher column in the New York Daily News: “It was my habit, and still is, to peruse the Australian news and shortly before story happened, I was reading the Sydney Morning Herald and Paris was visiting Sydney and there was a picture of Paris and her previously unknown friend Kim posing on Bondi Beach. He told NY Post, “Unlike many people who try to leak information about themselves so they are written up in Page Six and the New York Post, my client did not do so.” Kardashian’s lawyer, Marty Singer, insists that Kardashian has never planted stories about herself in the tabloids or tipped off paparazzi about her whereabouts. But our paparazzi told all the other paparazzi. She would literally bake him a basket of muffins and try to get him to come to her house and he wouldn’t go and so they went to dinner somewhere in the North Valley and we had paparazzi there. We tried to get her to f - k Nick Lachey so she could be a celebrity girlfriend. Wonder how they found out about that!”ĭickson: “That was one of the early stunts that backfired. It was only one date, but of course conveniently they were photographed by the paparazzi on that date. Perez: “Back then, one of the things that got her a lot of attention in addition to being Paris Hilton’s friend, before the sex tape and before the reality show she was the very first girl that Nick Lachey was spotted on a date with after his split from Jessica. But that was enough for us to start putting her in In Touch.” She was on for literally less than 90 seconds. That was one of the conditions : You have to be on TV. ![]() So it was really hard to get her coverage. Kevin Dickson, a former editor at In Touch Weekly: “I had become friends with Kim, and she would give me stories every week and we would promise her coverage and then the editors would back out. She did the closet thing and what not, but she clearly wanted more.” Perez Hilton, a blogger who revolutionised celebrity news in the early 2000s: “Kim was a young, ambitious thing and she was determined to make it in Hollywood, because she didn’t graduate college, she wouldn’t necessarily have real job. ![]() This is the story of that movie, beginning in the months leading up to its release. It is no exaggeration to say that in the ten years since, Kardashian has transformed pop culture. Kardashian had initially sued to prevent it from being released, but ultimately settled the suit. In 2007, ten years ago this month, the tapes that Kardashian and Ray J had made were released to the public by porn company Vivid Entertainment as Kim Kardashian, Superstar, a 41-minute movie. ![]() Paris and then-unknown Kim visit Bondi back in 2006. ![]()
