10 Rick Salomon: 2001

Paris Hilton's relationship with Rick Salomon, unfortunately, became very public due to the intimate tape that was released featuring the both of them.

It was a devastating experience for her because she felt like it really messed up her reputation. Fortunately for Paris Hilton, she is still beloved by millions of fans who don’t judge her at all for something like that. Especially when it wasn’t her fault. She was sharing a moment with a boyfriend that she trusted at the time and he is the one who betrayed her trust for a dollar amount.

6 Benji Madden: 2008
