I’m told that Steve Hirsch over at Vivid has a red face right now, red as in furious.
He paid 25,000 dollars for the Montana Fishburne tape and intended to pitch it as the usual celebrity sex tape. When news of it leaked out here on mikesouth.com, the entertainment media had a bit of a feeding frenzy and Hirsch changed his tactics. This time there wouldn’t be any lawsuits and the whole leaked sex tape angle, which is what Montana had signed up for. This time he decided to spin it that it was like the Kim Kardashian tape and Montana thought it would make her famous in the same way that Kims tape made her famous. Hirsch’s reasoning on this is that it might attract more celebs to his company.
Little did Hirsch know that Montana had been a stripper who went by the name Chippy D and that she had already shot a scene with her boyfriend Brian Pumper that was going to be released under that name….2 weeks before Vivid releases theirs.
A few questions come to mind here….first 25K isnt very much considering daddy could have paid ten times that and never missed it to squelch the thing, so I’d bet there’s some rebellion going on here.
Another is does Hirsch really think that Kardashian ploy would work on anyone? Kim had her mainstream stuff in play before her tape was released, all her tape MIGHT have done was to give that a little bump. Now I’m not saying the move isn’t savvy because it is. It’s free advertising and it will also give him another few sales of Kardashian’s abysmal excuse for a sex tape. If he really wanted another life for that tape he should release the golden shower footage that is said to be in it.
But the real fuck you to Hirsch here is that he was scammed, even if the amount was paltry ( you’d think she would be worth more than that Octomom creature, and he offered her 10 times as much or more.)
Well Vivid all that comes to mind is…You reap what you sow.

[New Post] Montana Fishburne Vivid Got Had. – via #twitoaster http://www.mikesouth.com/uncategorized/m…
So Vivid is livid. Awww, too bad…
Vivid is Livid…GOD why didnt I think of that I love it.
I was wondering whether or not Pumper’s release prior to Vivid’s release was part of the deal or not. I actually hope that Hirsch goes after Pumper on this one AND decides not to release the Montana tape.
If he did that, at least Vivid would wind up appearing as if they actually have a conscience and it would put all the attention on Pumper in regards to him coercing this girl into doing something that she really wasn’t ready to handle.
As for the low amount of money Vivid paid for the tape…all I have to say is “the Black rate” strikes again.
Monica, yer hot, yer smart and you aren’t delusional.
So I predict you aren’t exactly holding your breath until Steve Hirsch says we wont release this tape….;)
If it was Pumper who brought the sex tape to Vivid there very well may have been misrepresentation and fraud on his part.
He is/was her boyfriend, but it isnt known if he brokered the deal
Whats next the sex tape of Robert De Niro’s third cousin thru marriage. lol
Dirty Bob – This girl is NINETEEN and was clueless as to the political workings of the porn industry and she was DATING B. Pumper who has been working within the porn industry for around a decade. You’re going to tell me that B. Pumper has NOTHING to do with this young lady going to the Vivid offices? COME ON!
On the initial press release about the Montana Fishburne “debut” Vivid tape the article even LINKS to a youtube video with Montana and B. Pumper. If B. Pumped has NOTHING to do with at least mentioning that Montana should go to Vivid, then WHY oh WHY would he be attaching himself specifically to her left and right and WHY if he was so convinced of her raw star potential would he WAIT to put out his own press release in regards to “Phatty’s Rhymes and Dimes” AFTER Vivid puts out their press release?
I’ll tell you why – because his video wouldn’t have had nearly as much attention or hype around it as something with the Vivid name attached to it being that they have a specific celebrity LINE of adult videos.
I don’t think Hirsch has plenty right to go after B. Pumper and he should, because B. Pumper as an adult industry “professional” should have informed and advised the woman he’s dating to mention to Vivid about about the release she’d already shot with him. Especially being that he will DIRECTLY capitolize off it being that he is the FOUNDER of Freaky Empire.
Amazing how so many people want to blame the talent (again NINETEEN YEAR OLD GIRL) when the real problem with a stupid looking ridiculously big chain around his neck is a too tight tank top is staring you right in the FACE.
I had many typos before so I’m reposting the above:
