Celebrity Justice
Paris' Sex Partner Accused of Brutality

Rick Salomon, Paris Hilton's sex tape partner, is being sued by a woman who claims he and his roommate are responsible for a brutal beating.

In a lawsuit filed Tuesday in L.A. County Superior Court, Gertrude Harutunian claims Salomon hosted a drug-fueled party last July at his home in the Hollywood Hills,. The alleged drugs of choice -- cocaine, meth, pot and alcohol which were "freely given out...."

Harutunian claims the drugs and alcohol caused Buddy Segal, his roommate, to pull Harutunian from a bed by her hair, "strike, hit and throw" her while Salomon watched. She claims Segal then dragged her across a room to a shower and threw her inside as "Salomon watched and conspired with Segal to hurt and injure [her]."

Harutunian is seeking unspecified damages.

And here's a fun fact... the Salomon house was once owned by a close friend of OJ Simpson. Simpson used to visit the home frequently before he killed Nicole. During Simpson's murder trial there was testimony by a guest at a party that Simpson once struck Nicole in the guest house on the property. It's the only eyewitness who ever testified he saw Simpson brutalize Nicole.

17. May there always be work for your hands to do
May your pocket always hold a coin or two;
May the sun always shine on your window pane
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain;
May the hand of a friend always be near you
Their hearts full of warmth and gladness to cheer you
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

21. "7. "Before he killed Nicole"? O.J. was acquitted of that crime. TMZ is being libelous by printing an assertion that was not proven. And being struck and being "brutalized" have different thresholds.

Stick to the facts, TMZ. There's plenty of them."


He was found responsible for their deaths in a civil trial. Those ARE the facts.

FUNNIEST POST EVER.

I hope you weren't being serious. BTW he was also found guilty in court too. Just not the criminal trial. So..

24. I honestly do not understand why TMZ continues to blame OJ Simpson for that woman's murder.

"Simpson used to visit the home frequently before he killed Nicole." If the man was found not guilty and evidence proves that he is not the one who murdered her, then he isn't the one. But that fact that you guys continue to state that he did is pure ignorance.

28. hey REALLY, as everyone has already informed the just-as-dumb-as-you poster #7, he was found responsible for her death in the civil trial. harvey, who runs tmz, is a lawyer, and knows what he can and cannot legally say. we can all call o.j. a murderer, because the court said we can. oh, and because HE IS A MURDERER.
