A court statement from Hilton, part of a lawsuit filed yesterday in Los Angeles, reads, "I was appalled to learn that people are exploiting me and my sisters' private personal belongings for commercial gain." Hilton is calling for the closure of the website on the grounds it invades her privacy and exposes her and Nicky to people who could "to steal my identity, or even worse, to harass or stalk me." She has filed copyright registrations for three writings among her belongings, and accuses the website of copyright infringement. The lawsuit alleges the items were bought by Nabil and Nabila Haniss for $2,775 and sold to Bardia Persa for $10 million.
