Montana Fishburne, the daughter of actor Laurence Fishburne who recently released a sex tape, thinks she's a role model. And The Huffington Post thinks that's news.
HuffPo on Aug. 13 linked to a Twitter account run by someone claiming to be Fishburne, although the account is not among the many celebrity accounts “verified” by the social networking website. The account's page provides a link to a pornographic website selling Fishburne's tape.
“Aw this little 13 year old girl came up to me talking about I'm her favorite celebrity and she is going to make a sex-tape when she turns 18,” one of the Twitter updates said.
Another declared, “Me and [gossip Kat Stacks] are the next generation's ROLE MODELS. You had your chance and decided to go to college smh hoes.” “SMH” is an Internet abbreviation for “shaking my head.”
Fishburne shot back at critics, telling them to “blame yourselves! If you spent more time on Twitter than with your kids this week.” She also called herself a “product of society.”
More like a product of media obsessed with glorifying sexual deviance.
