Celebrity sex tape scandals

Jul 20, 2010

Celebrities do crazy things but some go to the extreme. These celebrities made sex tapes which ended up being leaked to the public.

The former Baywatch star, Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee: After a home video of their lovemaking was stolen from their home and leaked online in 1998, she sued the distribution company. The couple won $1.5 million in damages but were unable to stop its distribution.
Tila Tequila's sex tape, featuring the model in an explicit video with an unidentified man, was leaked onto the internet with a short 15 second preview being shown at an adult video site.
The Irish actor, Colin Farrell sued his ex-girlfriend, Playboy model Nicole Narain, over the unauthorized public distribution of a 14-minute sex tape that they made in 2003. Although he confirmed its existence and obtained a court order blocking its distribution, in January 2006, copies of the tape appeared online.
The tape features an 18-year-old Kendra Wilkinson having sex with ex-boyfriend Justin Frye. In an E! News exclusive, titled Kendra Exposed, Wilkinson said: "I didn't do it out of fame, I didn't do it for money, I did it because I was in love with him. It just sucks. It's really embarrassing."
Verne Troyer's tape was leaked in June 2008. Troyer is seen making out and getting 'frisky' with his then-girlfriend Ranae Shrider in their apartment in a series of clips. The worst part of the scandal is that Shrider was the one who leaked the tape.
Kim Kardashian's sex tape involves her and ex-boyfriend Ray J engaging in various sexual acts. Kim halted distribution of the tape, got a $5 million settlement and appeared naked on the cover of Playboy in a bid to prove to the world that she's not surgically enhanced, as many claimed she was.
Paris Hilton was underage at the time, so then-boyfriend Rick Salomon faced allegations of statutory rape. This was never proven, even though it was Salomon who leaked the tape. Hilton initially tried to stop the distribution of the sex tape, but later agreed to its release and now profits from its sales.
A 2002 tape allegedly showing the R&B singer having sex with an underage girl led to a child pornography trial. After six years, he was eventually acquitted of all charges.
