Of course, one of Anthony Weiner’s sexting partners was going to try to find some way to cash in on the fame. One of them, Sydney Leathers, has decided that making a porn film is the best way to do it. She signed on with Vivid entertainment to make a video, which was released Monday.
Vivid CEO Steve Hirsch met with Leathers a few days ago in Los Angeles and she agreed to do the hardcore porn masturbation video, notes TMZ. The site notes that it isn’t known how much she was paid.
“It's not a self-pleasure video,” Leathers told The New York Daily News Monday, insisting that it’s not porn. “It's just a sexy photo shoot with a behind-the-scenes interview.”
Well, if it’s not porn, it sure looks that way. One of the stills Vivid is using to promote it shows her completely nude on a bench with an American flag over her stomach and she holds a newspaper with the headline ‘WEINERGATE.’
“I'm glad that it's out. I'm not embarrassed,” she told the Daily News. “I think it's good for me. A lot of girls have body image issues, and I'm not exempt from that. It's important to look at your body in a positive way. It's really not that bad.”
Leathers added that she doesn’t think she’s “prostituting” herself out by doing this. “If people want to take it that way, fine. But I think it's weird that anyone would have expectations from me. I'm not running for mayor,” she said.
Leathers is hoping for a future in the porn industry and plans on heading back to New York to see Weiner face-to-face as he tries to run for New York City mayor. She even hopes to crash a debate, adding, “But they might have 'No Sydney' signs up by that point. I might have to wear some terrible Amanda Bynes wig to get in.”
Leathers also appeared on Howard Stern’s radio show last week and you can see the interview below:
