From Fox news
When ‘Teen Mom’ star Farrah Abraham admitted she made a sex tape with porn star James Deen, TMZ reported
she had inked a deal with porn distributor Vivid for close to $1 million.
Not quite, according to others.
One source close to the situation tells FOX411 the former “Teen Mom” star only got about 1/100 of that amount.
That’s right: $10,000, not $1 million.
And Kevin Blatt, who has brokered several celebrity sex tapes himself, said Tami Erin, who once portrayed “Pippi Longstockings,” got the same offer.
“Tami Erin was offered $10K up front which is standard for Vivid,” Blatt told FOX411. “It is what they offer every celebrity, not a million dollars.”
Another adult entertainment industry insider backed up Blatt’s claims.
“In reality she (Abraham) got $10,000 upfront and 30 percent of sales, minus the cost of production,” the source said. “The entire celebrity sex video genre is a lot of unsubstantiated marketing with very little truth behind it…. It’s all publicity. It’s all hype.”
(FOX411 reached out to Abraham, who had no comment.)
Indeed in the era of free Internet porn and the decline of the DVD, porn insiders say celebs are making less and less for having sex on camera.
“Paris and Kim made millions, but that’s because it was a different time,” Blatt said. “People were buying DVDs then.“
Our sources say Paris Hilton made over $13 million for her tape, released in 2004, while Kim Kardashian made over $8 million for her 2007 sex tape with hip hop singer Ray J.
President of Vivid Entertainment Steven Hirsch would not talk numbers, but said: “I think after doing these deals for so many years I know how to properly structure them. We aim for fair deals for all involved and if they weren’t profitable, we wouldn’t be in business for almost 30 years. I’m happy with our track record.”
Jasmine Waltz, a sometime actress and model most famous for dating celebrities like David Arquette and Ryan Seacrest, released her sex tape, “Real Jasmine,” for Exquisite in 2011. She told us anyone looking to parlay her 15 minutes of fame into a big sex tape payday better watch out.
“Vivid told me they would give $125,000 and 25 percent of the back end, all the sales that are made. Basically, you’ll never see the back end after advertisement. You won’t get the money. It’s a very untrustworthy business,” she said. “Lawrence Fishburne’s daughter got burned really, really bad. She got $60,000 dollars and never saw another penny.”
Our industry insider confirmed Waltz’s story, adding: “Montana Fishburne’s tape sold pretty well. That was a completely different time. It was $60,000 up front, but she didn’t get 70 percent of the tape sales.”
Fishburne, the daughter of actor Lawrence Fishburne, who at 18 years old made her own porno and had Vivid distribute it in 2010, advises young women to think twice before having sex on camera for money.
“I don’t encourage people to go into the porn industry. You’re not going to be famous, or be a movie star. You may end up having a really sucky life,” she said. “If you look at the celebrity sex tape, these girls are not your average girl next door jumping into porn and for the average girl to get into porn and have those results won’t happen. You have to look at where you come from. My idea is go to school and have life experience but don’t just jump into something blindly and have a big pay day. If you’re going to be going into porn, you have to have a very clear head.”
Newly minted celebrity sex tape star Myla Sinanaji – “famous” for dating Kris Humphries after he was dumped by Kim Kardashian — and who released her video with VividCeleb in September — disagrees.
“It’s not a big deal to me. Everybody does it. I have friends that do, it but I profited on my tape,” Sinanaji said.” I feel like if other people were given the opportunity to make a tape for that amount of money they wouldn’t be so quick to judge. We’re going into 2014. Schools are handing out condoms now.”
That’s a site you can watch Tami Erin Pippi Longstocking sex tape or any of the others.

Kevin Blatt liked this on Facebook.
Kevin Blatt is still around? It was pretty obvious that Farrah Abraham didn’t get a Million for her sex tape. If she did she wouldn’t be at Exotica hocking polaroid’s at $10 a pop. Still a good pay day for a hours worth of work, I’m sure her escort rates are through the roof now.
Hey mike why don’t you report on The Filelocker Campaign Shutting Down? I’m sure this is something that the people should know about.
L OL You mean the porn indusry lies about how much money they make. Farrah actually got just 1% of One million dollars. And this is a 14 billion dollar industry? Even in the heyday of porn, before the free internet, do you know how many dvd’s you have to see to make just one billion dollars? How did anyone ever believe the numbers spouted by the porn industry?
The $1 million was just hype for the press, in order to create a buzz. That’s just good marketing on Vivid’s part.
Yeah, Vivid’s marketing plan is genius. Hirsch and Abraham couldn’t even decide on a fake fucking number… He says 1 million and then she says 1.5 million…. you would think they would have at least agreed on a bogus number from the beginning???
Yeah, vivid’s marketing plan was pretty pathetic.
and who would believe that farrah made a million dollars anyway?
James Deen didn’t even get paid a million dollars.
Well, they sold a lot of piece and it’s still being talked about in the news, that equals good marketing. A lot of people believed and still believed she got a huge paycheck. No one’s buying the sex tape to see James Deen.
I’m sure the Million dollar thing was Farrah’s idea, from what I hear she has a real problem with being labeled a “Porn Star”.
I don’t hear about it in the news. What are you talking about, TMZ?
A lot of morons believed and still believe she got a huge paycheck.
No ones buying the sex tape period.
How is farrah a porn star? Has she made any other movies?
Please tell me so I can make sure to avoid them. 😉
Patricia, how do you know no ones buying it? I’m sure you are one of those who believed she got a huge check before this story broke.
Patricia, she’s all over the press. Google her name why don’t ya. 😉
At this point, I’m not even sure what to call her? Porn star, teen mom, shitty ass dick sucker, psycho, narcissistic asshole, mentally unstable, attention whore, an 8 finger pussy puppet?
She is making more money, even if it is tenthousand dollars, than most female talent these days will make in months.
Billy, my names Kate. And No one buys porn. The movies on line for free. And I never believed she got paid a million dollars.
Billy, my names Kate.. and I don’t see her all over the press. The story faded like she did months ago.
Now that’s true, jilted
Oh and Billy, I know I REALLY bother you …. 🙁
I mean your bullying tactics are sinking to an all new low. #winning
Hilarious!! But pretty pathetic. Too..Billy. 🙁
And please tell us you’re views on condoms again. CAN’T WAIT!!
You don’t bother me at all. I don’t know you so how can you bother me, this is a comment section on a porn news blog. I mean I Think your an idiot but that’s just my option. You can’t seem to move past the whole condom thing but whatever. I’m (Anti Tubes/Piracy) and could care less about condoms. Hey, maybe you and Nick can meet up and go picket one of the adult award shows coming up, seems like the right thing to do for a couple of winners like yourselves. Good Day.
@Billy:
You are so hilarious!! I look forward to your comments. You always make me laugh.. and I’m serious…you do!!
I’ll only come to the award show if you’re going to be there. 😉
Good Day…Pete uh I mean, Billy.
Jilted wins this one, she is doing better than the majority ever will. As far as being a porn star, she’s fit and attractive, and I for one would sign on to shoot a porn with her for $3.79. I would lower that rate to $2.23 if she doesn’t talk.
Not true, she got paid big that one time. Female talent on a good month should make 7 to 15k easy. If they are only working twice a month then they should consider another line of work.
Your right, they should start looking for a new line of work but if we tell them that there wouldn’t be anyone left to shoot Kink scenes. I will, however, certainly pass along your pay scale and career advice to all the girls so they can promptly inform their agents and pimps that they are underpaid.
@BrookeTyler:
LOL. 😀
Hey Brooke I would pay you 5.00 (american) to scream orders at patricia and billy in my next “kind of like kink, minus the HIV” scene. Interested? Have your pimp contact me, or have your pimp contact your agent to contact me. THANKS!
Sounds like a plan but both my pimp and agent say it has to be cash.
