Posting my answer publicly since I’ve actually had a few people ask me this past week about the deleted videos from my Paris Exposed post, especially in light of Paris’ new documentary.
A short while after I made the post back in January 2017, someone reported all the videos, despite them being unlisted and only ever embedded into my post, and YouTube terminated my account without warning, taking with it not only the Paris videos but also countless clips from entertainment news shows (Access Hollywood, Entertainment Tonight, Extra, etc.) and a treasure trove of old paparazzi videos that unfortunately I haven’t been able to find anywhere else, so if you take a look at a lot of my older “This Week In…” posts, you’ll mostly find dead video links. Appeals to get my YouTube account back were useless.
I tried to find all the old Paris Exposed videos, but by the time my account was terminated the videos had conveniently vanished from all the websites I got them from - old gossip blogs, forums, and other YouTube/Vimeo/Dailymotion uploads from way back when. Excerpts of the clips, usually a minute long or less, still exist on some websites, but they’re missing a lot of stuff and have some of the more scandalous material cut out. You can also find a lot of the random sex tapes with Joe Francis or her ex-boyfriend Jason Shaw on porn websites, but that’s pretty much it. I tried to download some old torrents that claimed to have the entirety of ParisExposed.com, but none of those seem to work anymore either. Finally, I tried to search specific file names, and had come across a subscription-only porn website that had listed almost every single video from the original ParisExposed.com, but I wasn’t able to view them without subscribing, so I bookmarked the page and figured one day, when I was willing to throw my credit card information to the wind, I’d go and download everything. This week I checked that website again and - go figure - all of those files have disappeared. I’m not sure where else to look, if there is anywhere else. Probably the only shot we have at finding most of them again is if someone who downloaded them back in 2007 still has them on an old computer, but that’s pretty unlikely at this point.
I managed to recover some videos in their entirety - videos of Paris with Joe and Jason, Nicole Richie licking cocaine off a plate, etc. - but it’s only a fraction of what was once out there. I made a burner Google account earlier today to upload them all in a folder for you guys, and I’ve backed up everything to an external drive incase that gets taken down, too.
What’s there:
- Paris, Jason and Nicky in Atlantic City.
- Paris in bed with Jason.
- Paris and Joe in Saint-Tropez.
- Joe filming Paris as she takes a bath.
- Paris’ 21st birthday in Hollywood, with Kimberly Stewart and Tara Reid.
- Paris singing “Lovefool” in the car with Jason.
- Paris filming herself reading lines from a script while topless.
- Paris using the computer.
- Paris and Nicky on the phone with Don Thrasher, Rick Salomon’s old roommate.
- Paris in Las Vegas.
- Paris partying with Nicole, and Paris backstage at a Heatherette fashion show with Amanda Lepore.
What’s still missing:
- Paris and Nicky celebrating New Year’s, and Paris saying she and Nicky are like “two n*****s.” (You can see brief excerpts of this video on YouTube, but they’re missing a lot of the extra footage.)
- Paris in Aspen, and Nicky complaining that Jamie Pressly is obsessed with Paris and ‘stealing’ her hairstyle.
- Paris in the Hamptons.
- Paris and Jason in Amsterdam.
- A video of Nicole throwing water at a girl in a nightclub.
- Paris singing her own version of “We Are Family” that goes: “We are desperate. I’m an ugly Jewish bitch… I’m a little black whore, I get fucked up the butt for coke… I’m a n****r!” (I think the “fucked up the butt for coke” part is still on YouTube, but the rest is gone).
- Paris at a party (maybe in the Hamptons?) talking about the Bush Twins and their cousin Lauren. At one point, from what I can recall, she ignores a phone call to go to a David LaChapelle party in New York, complaining that Lil Kim is going to be there and that Kim is “short” and “weird.”
- Paris at a friend’s party saying that someone looks like her after she’s been “fucked by ten n*****s.”
- Paris inexplicably taping herself during a funeral.
- Paris visiting Ground Zero and rollerblading through the streets of New York.
- Footage from another one of Paris’ 21st birthday parties featuring Kris Jenner and Faye Resnick, the latter of whom Nicky mocks as a “hungry bitch.”
- Paris and Nicole Lenz recounting the time Paris called a black security guard at a nightclub the N-word to his face.
- Phone calls with Joe Francis, Donald Trump and Bijou Phillips.
- A video of Paris saying, “Who wants to go to a party with Bijou Phillips and Corey Feldman? What losers, they’re so pathetic, it’s so lame.”
And scores of others that I’ve either forgotten about or haven’t seen before, but were part of the original leak in 2007.
I’m not tech savvy, so maybe there are some tricks to getting the old videos that I don’t know about. If so, I put under the cut a list of potential file names for the videos that maybe someone can try searching. Also, if you search “ParisExposed Torrent” in Google, there are tons of forums (many non-English) with download links, most appearing to be broken, but if someone’s willing to help me dig I’d appreciate it. There’s also an old LiveJournal community, Pariscarriage07, an offshoot of OhNoTheyDidnt, that’s dedicated to everything from Paris’ storage locker. It was created when ParisExposed.com first went live in 2007. It’s a closed community, so I can’t see if there’s any surviving download links or torrents there, so if anyone knows a LiveJournal user that still happens to be active and a member of that community, try to see if they can find anything, or if they can invite me to join the community so I can dig for any stuff myself.
