In his new memoir Walking Disaster: My Life Through Heaven and Hell, Deryck recalled her response to the horrible moment.

“Near the end of our time together, Paris heard rumors that her ex was going to release a sex tape of her,” Deryck wrote, via EW. “She was doing everything she could to stop it from coming out, but six or seven months after we broke up, the s— hit the fan. We had stayed in touch after we split, and after the tape came out, I reached out. We had some sad conversations and I listened to her cry about having to tell her parents about it.”
He praised Paris as “a smart person.”
“It was great seeing how she was able to turn that invasion of privacy into something that worked for her in the long run. Her advocacy is admirable, too,” he said of his ex.
Paris reflected on the tape in her 2023 memoir. See what she had to say.
