She originally claimed that her sex tape was ‘personal’ and never intended it to be seen by the public.
But it seems that former Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham has cashed in on the steamy video she made with porn star James Deen, reportedly selling the rights for nearly $1 million.
According to TMZ, the 21-year-old secured the staggering deal with company Vivid Entertainment after months of negotiations.
Clearly looking to extend her 15 minutes of fame, Farrah is about to hit screens in the 70-minute long video, which was professionally produced.
The film, called Farrah Superstar: Backdoor Teen Mom, is sure to set her profile soaring after it is distributed by the well-known company, hoping to follow in the footsteps of Kim Kardashian.
The young mum is thought to have been in talks with Vivid’s head honcho Steve Hirsch for some time, after trying to shop the tape around to the highest bidder.
She was spotted heading into the company’s head office with her four-year-old daughter Sophia and her father last week, adding to speculation that she was about to sign a lucrative deal.
TMZ spoke to Hirsch after the meeting, who said he was ‘surprised’ Farrah brought her daughter along to the meeting and described the footage as ‘amazing’ and ‘very explicit’.
The reality star reportedly sent Vivid a cease and desist letter blocking the tape’s release after they refused to pay her $2 million for the rights originally, but clearly Farrah has had a rethink.
Farrah Abraham, James Deen
The mother-of-one, who denied that the tape even existed when the news first broke, has tried to pursue a singing career and has recently released her own memoirs, My Teenage Dream Ended.
But it seems that the explicit sex tape, which she said she made in a bid to ‘immortalize her youthful physique’, could be the spring-pad she needs to make her name.
Speaking out about his part in the video, porn star Deen, 27, admitted that the company who produced it asked him to pretend he was actually dating Abraham.
He told Today.com: ‘They wanted to send us out on a date and then call the tabloids to come.’
‘I told them that I am not a prostitute and I’m not going to go on fake dates with people for the tabloids… If you’re going to make a celebrity sex tape and try to pass it off as an amateur home video, you don’t hire a well-known porn star!’
According to Perez Hilton’s website, Farrah didn’t even want to do the tape, but felt that it was the only way for her to make money.
I think James Deen’s name will sell more copies than Farrah Abraham’s. However, if this Farrah is that much of a celeb for being on a third-rate MTV only shown after bedtime show that they aren’t depending on Deen to sell tapes I would have fucked her on tape a lot cheaper than Deen did and at least I would have seduced her and tied her up before fucking her (I know Deen does BDSM for Kink but if there were that in the tape it would have been in the press release). I would have also went on that… Read more »
Of course James Dean will be more famous.
Oh, wait. James DEEN. :p
I dont think James Deen has as much “juice” as some people think..I guarantee Hirsch paid a pretty penny and hes making it back everyday. If you go look at at vivids Google searches, they are up over 18% since this started…
Hirsch isnt were hes at cuz hes a dumbass
[…] is far more explicit than Kardashian’s. And although Abraham has already scored an alleged $1 million payday for the film, and a low six-figure endorsement deal for a “diet and fat-loss” pill, […]
