> I expected her to be mortified and sue and hide. She did, and she also got counter-sued: https://people.com/celebrity/hilton-salomon-end-sex-tape-legal-battle/ https://people.com/celebrity/hilton-salomon-end-sex-tape-leg... . "Owning it" worked fabulously for her for a whole lot of reasons, not the least of which are that she is rich and has an army of well-paid lawyers behind her. If you're rich and get laughed at and humiliated by the staff of a high-class restaurant, you have a ton of options. If you're Star Wars kid and you get laughed at and humiliated at a hiring interview, your options basically amount to "move on". Having that kind of legal and financial backing shields you from most negative consequences of unwanted fame, and leaves you only with the good parts -- the attention, at least. Without that backing, you get to deal with all of it, and some kinds of fame have very little to show in the way of good parts. Star Wars kid could have just stopped being poor (lol) of course but that's easier said than done :-).
