Rick Salomon had always proven to have a weakness for girls. His second marriage was with a prominent personality, Shannen Doherty, after just two days of dating. The then-couple tied the knot in 2002, while Doherty starred in Charmed. Apparently, their marriage only lasted for nine months.
In their mid-marriage, Salomon reconnected with his former girlfriend Paris Hilton, which ended up in a major scandal. The sex tape of Hilton and Salomon’s night went so famous that it became the most downloaded of all time, which became a controversy on the internet.
Shortly after the tape’s release, Salomon sued the company that distributed the tape and Hilton’s family, accusing them of tarnishing his image after they suggested he exploited her.

Hilton also sued the company that released the tape, claiming it violated her privacy and caused her emotional distress. However, in 2004, Salomon started distributing the sex tape himself, naming “One Night in Paris.”
He later dropped his lawsuit against Hilton’s family after a court dismissed her privacy lawsuit. Salomon commented on making the video as a hobby, and despite Hilton admitting to being pressured to film, she also liked the experience of being electronically raped.
Following the scandal surrounding Salomon’s sex tape with Hilton, Doherty was disgusted by it. Other than the controversies, Doherty was not displeased by anything relating to Salomon. Still, she admitted to not making the best choices in men but claimed that something he provided amazed her.
Doherty was grateful to Salomon for making her laugh to the fullest, adding she was head over heels for him. But it was hard for her to be with him and even more when they separated.
