Call her what you want – just another “batsh*t chick” or possibly a cold, calculating vixen bent on exposing sexually misbehaving men of power – but there’s one description that definitely applies to Sydney Leathers now: a professional porn star. The woman who has recently risen to “fame” as the other half of the most recent Anthony Weiner cyber-sex-messaging scandal (that we know of) is officially a paid employee of Vivid Entertainment.
We all knew something was up when Leathers was spotted having lunch with Vivid head honcho Steven Hirsch, and no aspiring porn star journey would be complete without a tell-all appearance on The Howard Stern Show, but Leathers finalized her journey from Carlos Danger’s erection inspiration to Vivid vixen with a solo sex scene for the company.
“It’s not a self-pleasure video,” she told the Daily News in an interview on Monday. “It’s just a sexy photo shoot with a behind-the-scenes interview.”
She added, “I’m glad that it’s out. I’m not embarrassed. 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.” (Via the NY Daily News)
Okay, so she didn’t actually have sex in front of a camera yet, but it’s still a nude shoot for a leading porn company. Still, Leathers wants everyone to know that she’s not a prostitute, which makes sense because she hasn’t been paid for sex. Again, that we know of.
“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. It’s my body, it’s my decision. I’ve never been one to let other people pass judgment on my body and what I do with it,” she said.
And remember before, when I tried to defend her a little bit and argue that she might not be as “batsh*t” as MSNBC’s Thomas Roberts seems to believe? Yeah, I take that back, because she’s going to New York City and plans to confront Weiner face-to-face. I think I speak for everyone when I say that this won’t end well at all.
