such a sad story

[Slymar @0xSlymar]

"I've never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity," Russell Brand read to Met Police detectives from a prepared statement. On Monday a London judge sent him to prison for 10 and a half years.

Last week the police released video of those interviews. In this clip he says he doesn't remember the women. At 0:46 he tells detectives he won't answer their questions.

In the 2000s he was one of the biggest comedians in Britain. He had his own BBC radio show, starred in Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Get Him to the Greek, and was briefly married to Katy Perry.

In September 2023 a Channel 4 documentary and The Sunday Times published accounts from several women. In the interview room he called it "defamatory and fictitious."

He didn't deny meeting them. "At present, I do not recall the names of the complainants or meeting them," he said. "However, it's entirely possible that I may have encountered them."

Then he stopped talking.

He told detectives he would listen to their questions but wouldn't answer them. He said the same thing in a later interview.

The trial heard from six women. On November 5 the jury at Southwark Crown Court found him guilty of raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others between 2004 and 2009. It cleared him of two rapes and an attempted indecent assault.

Judge Joel Bennathan said he showed a "casual and arrogant disregard" for any woman who said no. "You had also become a sexual predator," he told him.

He's 51 now, a Christian convert with three young children and a home in Florida. As officers led him away, he mouthed "we'll be OK" to his wife.

The Met says it's still investigating rape allegations from two more women.

Be honest: when a man reads a prepared statement and refuses every question, does that tell you anything, or is it just what any lawyer would advise?

@0xSlymar such a sad story

[Zero @ZeroExpAI]

Paris Hilton was 19.
The man holding the camera was 13 years older.

Years later he sold the tape. The porn industry gave it three awards, including Best Selling Title of the Year.

And the world decided she was the joke.

November 2003. A clip of a private video with her ex, Rick Salomon, starts spreading online. Weeks later her first TV show, The Simple Life, premieres.

Nobody asks if she agreed to any of it.
Late-night hosts do bits. Tabloids run it for months. Everyone "knows" she leaked it herself for fame.

June 2004. Salomon puts out the full tape himself as "1 Night in Paris."

She sued. In 2005 they settled. Reports say she got up to $400,000. He kept the sales and the trophies.

For 20 years she played along. "That's hot." The dumb blonde. The punchline.

Then, January 22, 2026. Capitol Hill. She walks up to the mic and says what she'd never said out loud:

"People called it a scandal. It wasn't. It was abuse."

Here's the part that should scare you.

She says there are now over 100,000 AI-made explicit deepfakes of her online. Not one of them is real. Not one is consensual.

Back then, someone had to betray you and steal something real. Now a stranger just needs a laptop.

So she asked Congress to pass the DEFIANCE Act, which would let victims sue the people who make and spread this stuff. The Senate passed it unanimously in January.

The House still hasn't voted.

She has a little daughter now. "I can't protect her from this. Not yet."

The tape got awards. The man who sold it went back to playing poker. She got 20 years of being called the scandal.

Be honest. Did you believe she leaked it herself?

@0xPapermech ofc lol not so easy to imagine their current price at that time

Millions of people have watched Pamela Anderson's leaked SEXTAPE

She never has.

"I've not seen it to this day," she told CBS in 2023.

February 1995. Pamela and Tommy Lee get married in Mexico. They'd known each other for four days.

They film everything. Silly, naked, in love. The tapes go into a safe at their house.

October 1995. An electrician who'd worked on their renovation sneaks back onto the property and takes the whole safe. He thought it was full of guns and jewelry.

It wasn't.

He made copies and started selling them. Then a 23-year-old internet porn entrepreneur named Seth Warshavsky got the rights and streamed it online. Then a deal with Vivid put it in stores on VHS, DVD and CD-ROM.

Reported sales in the first year: $77 million.

Pamela got the jokes.

Late-night monologues. Tabloid covers. In 2005 Comedy Central roasted her on live TV, and the tape was the punchline.

And the man who stole it?

Never charged. Not once.

The couple sued. Exhausted, they ended up signing a release that let the company keep streaming it. A judge reportedly ordered it to pay them $740,000 each. By then it had gone under. They never saw a cent.

Here's what she wants you to understand, in her own words:

"It was stolen property."

"Those tapes were not meant for anybody else to see."

Calling it a scandal was the second theft. The first one happened in her garage, and the whole world bought a copy.

She says her kids are what kept her going: "If I wasn't a mom, I don't think I would have survived."

30 years later: the thief walked. The distributor got rich. The comedians got their laughs.

So tell me. Who in this story actually got punished?

@JSCC2020Lee Everyone is thinking “I’d never fall for that.” That’s exactly the confidence the email was written for.

[Zero @ZeroExpAI]

One email. That’s all it took to steal the most private photos of about a hundred of the most famous people alive.

No movie-style hackers. No breach of Apple’s servers. Just an email dressed up as a security alert: “Please verify your password.” Some people did.

On August 31, 2014, the photos hit 4chan. Within hours they were all over Reddit and Twitter. The tabloids called it “Celebgate” and covered it like juicy gossip.

The most talked-about victim was Jennifer Lawrence. She was 24, fresh off an Oscar and The Hunger Games, the highest-paid actress in the world. Suddenly her name was trending everywhere, right next to the word “nude.”

Her team released one line: a flagrant violation of privacy, and the FBI had been contacted. Then two months of silence. Everyone was waiting for what women in that position usually give: an apology.

It never came.

She told Vanity Fair: “It is not a scandal. It is a sex crime.”

She said she’d started writing an apology and stopped, because she had nothing to be sorry for. The photos were for her boyfriend of four years. Being an actress didn’t mean she’d signed up for this.

Then she said the part that made a lot of people uncomfortable. Anyone who looked at those pictures was taking part in a sexual offense, and they should be ashamed.

Not “this hurts.” Not “please don’t look.” She called them accomplices.

Here’s how it ended. The FBI tracked down the men who had spent months sending those emails. Ryan Collins of Pennsylvania got 18 months in federal prison. Edward Majerczyk of Chicago got 9 months. Others were convicted later. Apple added login alerts and started pushing two-factor authentication hard.

More than ten years later, people still call it a “leak,” as if someone chose to put it out there. Nobody leaked anything. People had things stolen that belonged to them and no one else.

And it all started with one email. Go check that your 2FA is on. Right now, before you forget.

The last thing @sama sees before leaking Astra open weights on @huggingface

Kim Kardashian’s “leaked sex tape” became public in 2007. Years later, her own mother was accused of helping arrange its release.

Ray J accused Kris Jenner of being part of a business deal involving himself and Kim.

He even claimed she watched different recordings and helped choose which one to release, according to Insider.

Kris denies it. So does Kim.

Back in 2007, Vivid Entertainment released Kim Kardashian, Superstar. The company said it had paid an unidentified third party one million dollars for the recording.

Kim said she had never authorized its release. She sued.

By the end of April, the lawsuit had ended in a settlement. XBIZ reported a figure near five million dollars, although Vivid declined to disclose the terms.

That October, Keeping Up with the Kardashians premiered on E! As Elite Daily later documented, the sex-tape controversy was already part of the first episode.

The recording had become a commercial release. The scandal had become a television storyline.

Then Ray J publicly challenged the entire “leaked sex tape” account.

In a 2022 Daily Mail interview, he claimed the release had been arranged between himself, Kim, and Kris. He denied leaking it and accused the family of leaving him with the blame.

Kris took her denial onto James Corden’s show—hooked up to a lie detector. Asked whether she had helped release the tape, she answered no. The examiner accepted her answer, Us Weekly reported.

The argument kept going.

In October 2025, Kim and Kris sued Ray J over his claims that they faced a federal racketeering investigation. Associated Press reported that both women called those claims false. Ray J sued back, alleging they had broken an agreement restricting discussion of the tape.

Then another number hit the headlines: six million dollars.

Us Weekly reported on a separate settlement dating from 2023 that became public during the later dispute. It included confidentiality terms and explicitly said settling was not an admission of wrongdoing.

In March 2026, Rolling Stone reported that Kim and Kris had denied the planned-release allegations under oath. Kim also denied staging her original lawsuit for publicity. Kris denied directing the tape’s release.

Years earlier, in her 2021 interview with Andy Cohen, Kim had called the recording “probably the one thing I wish didn’t exist.”

You can spend years changing your life.

The internet only needs one old video to drag you back.

Paris Hilton was 19 years old.
Her boyfriend, Rick Salomon, was 32 years old and constantly encouraged her to give into and create a sex tape.

"I told her it would only be for us," he told her.

However, there was a leak. Paris had a pornographic deal to do. She made millions, as well as dedicating it to the victims of September 11.

It was a sex tape that was sold to the public.

Paris met Rick when she was eighteen. In her memoir from 2023, she explains how he constantly tried to take her to film them in bed. Rick argued that Paris either had to do it, or he would find another girl.

"I was very drunk and agreed."

They used an infrared camera and a tripod. He promised it would only be viewed by them.

However, in 2003, 37 seconds of the video leaked onto the internet.

Paris was in Australia when her agent called. Not long after, The Simple Life aired on Fox and was watched by around thirteen million people.

Paris’ TV career was really taking off.

In 2004, Rick sold the full 45 minute video to Red Light District Video.

It was released on June 15th and titled One Night in Paris. The video opened with the dedication: "Dedicated to September 11, 2001… We will never forget."

Paris had a video with a title, distributor and a dedication to being patriotic.

Paris sued for invasion of privacy and wanted thirty million dollars. However, the case was dismissed.

In 2005, it was reported Paris reached a settlement of four hundred thousand dollars. She also received a cut of sales. Paris said she would donate the money to charity.

However, she later said she never received a penny.

Rick earned around ten million dollars.

The adult industry awarded him.

One Night in Paris won Best Selling Film of the Year and Most Rented Film of the Year at the 2005 AVN Awards.

Rick had a busy love life.

He married Shannen Doherty in 2002. They were married for nine months.

In 2007, Rick married Pamela Anderson. She had her own intimate tape stolen and sold around a decade earlier.

However, the marriage was annulled within months.

They married again in 2014. However, they divorced and Rick paid Pamela a million dollars.

Paris did not even give Rick the courtesy of his name in her memoir. She referred to him as a ‘loser’.

In 2021, Paris said the video had ruined her life.

There are lots of numbers throughout this story. 19, 32, 37 seconds, 45 minutes and ten million dollars.

However, it began with a simple promise.

Just for us.

The world had a copy.
