Paris Hilton has signed on to produce a scathing new docuseries about 'the sexist, exploitative culture that let down' nine famous women - including herself - between 2000-2010.
The 43-year-old reality TV icon acquired the rights to Sarah Ditum's book Toxic: Women, Fame, and the Tabloid 2000s, which hit shelves on January 23.
'When I discovered Toxic, I was immediately taken by the depth of Sarah's dedication, research and writing,' Paris told Variety on Wednesday.
'Sarah's work inspired me to envision Toxic as a documentary series where we can provide a platform for similar stories of those who had to navigate intense public scrutiny, so they can reclaim their narrative from a time when they had little control.'
Ditum's 352-page book specifically mentions 'revenge porn' being 'fair game' in this 'wild west' era, and Hilton's ex-boyfriend Rick Salomon notoriously signed off on releasing their 2001 sex tape through Vivid Entertainment titled 1 Night in Paris.

The Simple Life alum always maintained her innocence, and was said to have settled her lawsuit against Saloman (who also sued her for defamation) for a reported $400K.
Paris' former assistant Kim Kardashian (who's also in Toxic) reportedly took a more active role with her own 2007 Superstar sex tape as her ex-boyfriend Ray J alleged in 2022 that they both signed $400K contracts with Vivid Entertainment.
Ray J - who showed the signed contracts - claimed Kim's momager Kris Jenner masterminded the deal with Girls Gone Wild creator Joe Francis and Vivid CEO Steve Hirsch as the E! Network aired Keeping Up with the Kardashians just seven months later.
Meanwhile, Kardashian always maintained that a 'third party' sold her sex tape to Vivid, and she reportedly dropped her invasion of privacy lawsuit against them after allegedly receiving a '$5M settlement.'
The seven other celebrities whose stories are told in Toxic include Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Jennifer Aniston, Aaliyah, Janet Jackson, Chyna, and Amy Winehouse.
'Toxic explores how they were devoured by fame, how they attempted to control their own narratives, and how they succeeded or (more often) failed,' the book's description read.

Toxic reveals these women neither as pure victims nor as conniving strategists, but as complex individuals trying to navigate celebrity while under attack from a vicious and fast-changing media' (Janet Jackson pictured in 2004)
The British author gushed on Instagram Wednesday: 'I am, as you can probably imagine, both freaked out and thrilled - I can't imagine a better home for my book'
Hilton co-founded her global media content company 11:11 Media with Bruce Gersh (R, pictured October 19) in 2021, and they previously put out Netflix's Cooking with Paris and Peacock's Paris In Love
