Farrah Abraham Sells Her Sex Tape For Nearly $1 Million
Well, that was fast. After denying that she made a sex tape, then copping to making one but saying it was private, then getting pissed when it was revealed that she actually made a porn, Farrah Abraham has finally just given up the ghost and accepted nearly $1 million for the sale of the adult movie she made with James Deen.
TMZ reports that Vivid paid the "Teen Mom" star just about seven figures for what will be titled "Farrah Superstar: Backdoor Teen Mom."
According to a press release put out by Vivid, the tape is about 70 minutes long and features Abraham in a number of different positions. CEO Steve Hirsch is quoted as saying:
We felt it was definitely worth it, not only because of Farrah’s popularity, but because the footage itself is amazing. I think many fans will be shocked at how truly explicit it is, including stunning backdoor scenes. Farrah’s looks remind me of a young Kim Kardashian and we all know how her story turned out.
Word that Abraham had a sex tape first hit the news back in early April. She initially said there was nothing to the rumors, but was thwarted when Deen came out and told a TMZ rporter that the two had willingly made a porno together.
Abraham then changed her tune and said she make the tape so she can look back on how sexy she once was when she's old.
The video will be released by Vivid online on May 6 and will hit stores on May 14.
