Repercussions

When the sex tape leaked out all over the internet, it left Hilton heartbroken and embarrassed. But suffering from an obscene amount of criticism from the media was much worse. Her fans viewed her as someone with no self respect; someone who was promiscuous and very irresponsible. Her image was once something that meant so much to her, and now it was crumbling before her eyes. As for her drug possession charges, she had to serve a year of probation. Along with probation, she had to complete a drug abuse program, pay a $2,000 fine, and serve 200 hours of community service.
