Iggy Azalea’s Sex Tape Probably Doesn’t Exist, But Someone’s Still Trying To Buy It

The fascination and perceived ownership of celebrity culture is, frankly, kind of disturbing at the best of times. Last week we had, arguably, one of the biggest mass leaks of the private – some nude – photos of celebrities possibly ever. Today we’ve gone back to an old, familiar – and frankly really gross – well, with the apparent existence, and subsequent offer to buy, of a private sex tape allegedly featuring Iggy Azalea and an ex-boyfriend.

TMZ is reporting that – somehow – some footage and images of the alleged tape have surfaced, and that it wound up in the hands of Steven Hirsch, the boss of porn conglomerate Vivid Entertainment. The story allegedly goes that Hirsch has reached out to Azalea with a seven-figure offer to buy the tape and distribute it. Because this whole “music” thing clearly isn’t working out for her at the moment, or something like that.
Iggy, for her part, has gone to town on the whole ordeal, posting this following rant on Twitter.

Real talk: Actively looking or seeking out things like this – private tapes that have in effect been stolen (and let’s preface that statement by saying that calculated releases of things like this have been done in the name of self-promotion and marketing in the past, but we firmly believe that’s not the case in this instance) – is at best a little shady ethically speaking, and at worst is flat-out gross and borderline illegal.

There’s plenty of porn on the internet already, kids. Porn that’s been made purposefully by hard working people. Get amongst that instead.
‘Course the one remaining question lingers – If Hirsch did see part of a tape, and it wasn’t actually Iggy in it, then who dat, who dat?*
