A connoisseur assesses the salacious genre.
I've watched a lot of celebrity sex tapes. Dozens of them. Rarely are they titillating—but more interesting is how much they do or don't offer a glimpse into the private lives of those involved. They leave you wondering: Are they being themselves? Are they acting? Are they acting well ? Why did they choose the kitchen? When you're filming your sexual activities, self-presentation is paramount.
After watching a few of these, you can easily spot the frauds, whose construction is manipulated down to the last frame (see: Kim Kardashian, who now has the best-selling sex tape of all time ). As in Kardashian's case, a sex tape can skyrocket someone to fame (or at least infamy); on the other hand, a sex tape can ultimately bring ruin to an independent media company (*cough*Hulk Hogan*cough*).
Considering this is pornographic genre of great cultural interest, I've ranked 11 pivotal celebrity sex tapes here from best to worst—as measured purely by their cinematic qualities.
Note: Esquire does not endorse theft or unpermitted distribution of copyrighted material, but these have all been widely circulated, commented upon, and in some cases publicly approved and/or mocked by the participants.
This is one of the earliest and most notorious celebrity sex tapes, having nearly ruined Lowe's career. Watching it is a dull and queasy task. It's filmed from an unlevel tripod in yellowy light (gotta remember that white balance) and filled with white noise and blurry group sex whose indistinctness only leads you to imagine the worst. Alas, the '80s were not as glamorous as previously reported.
No one asked Screech for a sex tape. But Screech felt like unleashing one upon the world, and the result is even more nausea-inducing than one might expect. Diamond films two women from central porn casting, asking them, "Do you want to see the monster?" He later admitted that he used a " stunt wang ." Sounds about right.
Durst keeps the camera on the woman (somewhat understandably), not allowing us to take in the wider mise-en-scène and forcing us to identify him by his sleeve tats, before an abrupt mid-video pan to his face in closeup. This is just sloppy filmmaking, especially from a veteran music video director .
There are about as many Paris Hilton sex tapes as entries in the Hunger Games franchise. None of them is pleasant. The most famous, One Night in Paris, is a textbook example of everything you shouldn't do with your home porno. It's introduced by sleaze Rick Salomon himself, who thinks more highly of his skills than he should (his creepy catchphrase: She likes it...). Hilton, meanwhile, is so bored out of her mind that at one point she stops to answer her phone. There's no fun in watching them debate where to station the camera on a table. (Tip: Handheld is almost always better than stationary photography, especially webcams, which feel distant and clinical.) And the video makes a compelling case for never using the night vision setting to film your own sex, thereby giving it the dreaded Blair Witch/Zero Dark Thirty effect. At one point Salomon, chewing gum and staring at a monitor displaying his own cock, comments, "It looks like we're having a good time." No, it doesn't, Rick. It really doesn't.
It's hard to feel good about Farrah Superstar: Backdoor Teen Mom . She was a former teen mom, now a regular mom craving publicity. He—he being famed porn star James Deen—has been accused of rape and sexual assault by multiple women. Abraham claimed the tape was a leak. Turns out she made $1.5 million for selling it to Vivid Entertainment. But, technically speaking, this production could have been worse. It was even good enough to spawn a sequel, Farrah 2: Backdoor and More . So there's that.
Befitting its star, this is just out-and-out weird. Simmons enters to Foreigner's " I Want to Know What Love Is " as a candle flickers in the background. He wears only a t-shirt (never a good look for a guy), and the woman seems game for anything but kissing him. The faraway stationary black-and-white photography works, for once, lending a surreal vibe to the proceedings.
It's rigorously controlled, with annoying soundtrack cues, though that should surprise no one who has followed Kardashian's career. In many ways this is the earliest glimpse into her ability to exploit her own bodily gifts for monolithic public attention. She shows little interest in the sex, but defends the naturalness of her breasts to the camera and insists that Ray J record her "bling" all the way down to her feet. She shows the slightest bit of humanity when Ray J shoots her unpacking, but it's quickly replaced by a smile. Kardashian is a pro.
Hogan's tape appears to be recorded by a security camera like some kind of voyeuristic Steven Soderbergh experiment. You can't see much, but the surprisingly clear audio and subtitles suggest a gentlemanly encounter, ended by Hogan giving the woman a goodnight kiss and telling her, "You're awesome."
It doesn't hold a candle to her magnum opus with Tommy, but Pam as always is a master of the costume. Here she's wearing knee-high boots in a Stevie-Nicks-sex-goddess look. You nearly forget Bret Michaels is in the room.
Farrell lays on the charm thick, which might be annoying if he didn't do it so well. He improvises increasingly inventive compliments for model Nicole Narain in his Irish lilt: "If a fucking camera could blush, this thing would be fucking red." "I didn't know they made bastards as sexy as you." And best of all: "Breakfast, lunch, and dinner right here." He could've turned on a couple more lights, and he's probably drunk, but who wouldn't be? Bonus points for self-deprecating jokes about his crummy photography and pubic hair.
This is the ur-celebrity sex tape, what you might call the Citizen Kane of famous people screwing, which ushered in the form's modern era. There's little you can say about this video that hasn't already been said. So I'll say this: It's sweet. You actually feel badly that the marriage didn't work out. Pam and Tommy were clearly in love during their honeymoon. They make the most of their locations—in front of a mansion, driving in a car, on a yacht, swimming in a lake—as well as the now-nostalgic analog video camera, including an artful zoom into the MAYHEM tattoo on Tommy's stomach. They unironically call each other "lover" and show the appropriate level of bashfulness. There's even suspense when they almost hit a rock (not a euphemism, a literal rock). What you get is what you want from any movie: a journey. Emotional, uh, payoff. There are few moments in cinema as tender and sincere as when Pam says, "He's gotta get me through the rest of my life." Granted, she's talking about Tommy's junk, but that's how true love works, isn't it?

A public sex tape scandal can either make or break a celebrity’s career. To see if some of the most famous ones came out in the wash, let’s take a look back.
Many believe the infamous sex tape between Kim Kardashian and ex-boyfriend Ray J helped launch the mogul’s career.
In 2002 the former couple recorded a roll in the hay using a hand-held camcorder while they were vacationing in Cabo for Kardashian’s 23rd birthday.
Five years later, the tape was released to the public as a 41-minute film called “Kim Kardashian, Superstar” by porn company Vivid Entertainment.
Kardashian, who at first sued to prevent the tape’s release, ultimately settling — opened up to Oprah in 2012 about regretting ever making the tape, saying she felt “humiliated.”
Among former “Teen Mom” star Farrah Abraham’s escapades is a sex tape with celebrity porn star James Deen in 2013.
Rumors swirled that the video was intentionally leaked for publicity when Abraham and Deen were spotted holding hands outside of Vivid Entertainment (the company also responsible for releasing Kardashian’s sex tape).
Abraham initially denied the rumors, later admitting she was behind the whole thing, which said she made to immortalize her young figure. The film reportedly sold for nearly $1 million .
Colin Farrell made a sex tape with Playboy Playmate Nicole Narain in 2003, and, two years later, the footage leaked for the world to see.
Narain had allegedly struck a seven-figure deal with Internet Commerce Group (ICG) to release what Farrell claimed was intended only for their eyes only. He sued Narain for attempting to sell the footage , and they reached a settlement in 2006.
Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee had no idea a video they made together of … marital bliss while on their honeymoon would one day become the watershed moment for celebrity sex tapes. But after they locked it away, in 1995, a disgruntled electrician stole the safe that contained the footage and released the tape, making an estimated $77 million in less than 12 months .
Anderson has since revealed that she and Lee never made a penny off of the video.
“I made not one dollar,” the actress told Andy Cohen on “Watch What Happens Live.” “It was stolen property. We made a deal to stop all the shenanigans. I was seven months pregnant with Dylan. And I was thinking it was affecting the pregnancy, the stress. I said, ‘I’m not going to court anymore, I’m not being deposed anymore by these horny, weird lawyer men.’ I don’t want to talk about my vagina anymore.”
Hulk Hogan was caught up in years of legal battles after a sex tape of him with the wife of his best friend, Bubba “The Love Sponge” Clem, was leaked.
A now-infamous 1-minute-41-second clip shows the wrestler engaging caught in the act with Heather Cole. Hogan claims the encounter was filmed without his knowledge.
In 2012 Gawker published the tape on their website and Hogan, bankrolled by Gawker enemy Peter Thiel , sued for invasion of privacy. Hogan was eventually awarded $140 million, causing Gawker to declare bankruptcy .
Hulk can’t deny the situation has been lucrative: He was awarded $110 million from a lawsuit against Cox Radio over the sex tape in March.
Paris Hilton and ex-boyfriend Rick Salomon made one of the most talked-about sex tapes to ever exist.
In a grainy video, some of which was recorded in “night vision,” Hilton is seen engaging in sexual intercourse with Salomon.
In 2004, Salomon sold the sex tape shortly after Hilton’s reality TV show “The Simple Life” debuted, causing a media storm.
The film, titled “One Night in Paris,” was distributed by Red Light District. The rights to the video have since been bought by Vivid.
Hilton claimed she was “out of it” during the making of the sex tape, causing Salomon to sue her for defamation. The hotel heiress then counter-sued him for releasing the tape, and she was awarded $400,000, which she planned to donate to charity.
Hilton has since revealed she “Never received a dime from the video.”
Rob Lowe nearly ruined his career with a sex tape in 1988.
The actor, then 24, was filmed having sex with a 16-year-old woman he met at a nightclub. At the time, the legal age of consent in Georgia was 14 (later raised to 16) but her appearance in the tape was illegal.
Lowe made the tape the night before he came out to support Mike Dukakis at the Democratic National Convention in Atlanta. Another chunk of footage with Lowe and his friend Justin Moritt engaging in sexual intercourse with a model was also leaked at the time.
The scandals put Lowe’s career on hold for the better part of the following decade. In 2019, he said it was the best thing that ever happened to him because it helped him sober up.
Kevin Hart was embroiled in a sex tape scandal in 2017 when a woman he engaged in sexual activity with claimed she had no idea the couple’s act was being recorded.
Montia Sabbag reportedly threatened to extort Hart with the footage but he refused to pay and publicly apologized to his children and wife — who was pregnant at the time.
In September 2019, Sabbag filed a $60 million suit against the comedian, claiming he filmed her without her knowledge. The case was dismissed in early May.
