Is my title a little harsh? Maybe but Farrah Abraham has really, really ticked me off. For a long time, I said she wasn’t that bad. No, she wasn’t that bad at all. She was just misunderstood and hey, she was under a lot of pressure. My view of her changed drastically in the light of her sex tape revelations. My problem is not the sex tape. My problem is not even the fact that it was more of a straight up porn flick than a ‘leaked’ sex tape (which just sounds icky, by the way). My problem is that she lied about it. She lied about it a lot and she thought the public – not to mention her fans – would be too stupid to figure it out. Yes, that is my problem with Farrah Abraham. Now, for those of you that don’t know what I’ve got my panties all in a twist about, I’ll give you the broad strokes. Word got around that there was a Farrah Abraham sex tape and Farrah immediately denied such a tape existed, following that up by admitting there was a tape and threatening to sue anyone that released it – all pretty much par for the course in the world of celebrity sex tapes. All in all, pretty yawn worthy stuff. Then came news that Abraham’s co-star in this ‘sex tape’ was James Deen – one of the most well known male actors in the adult film industry today. Seemed a little, well, suspicious, at least. When asked if he was dating Farrah, James basically confirmed what everyone was already beginning to suspect. This was no sex tape. This was a porn flick. They met, were tested together and then filmed the movie in front of a camera crew. There was nothing private about this. It was porn that was intended to be sold to the highest bidder. I have no problem at all with porn stars. I think porn is awesome but come on, at least have the respect for your fans to be honest about it. Insulting our intelligence is just plain disrespectful and as a result, any remaining respect I had for this woman is gone.
