| My question is, to anyone who might know, did she ever consider being an actress when she was younger? I'm not really a fan so I wouldn't know, but it stands to reason that if you think you are going to be doing a job that pertains to you being in the public eye, making a sex tape (no matter how tame it might be) probably is not a wise choice. I don't think it makes her a bad person but I think she made an ill-advised choice. Personally, I think anyone, famous or not, who knowingly tapes themselves having sex is putting themselves in a potentially bad situation.
I am don't really understand the Paris Hilton/Kim Kardashian comparisons either. Leighton has actually developed herself as an actress. She is not famous because she was born rich or has infamous parents. She is famous because she's worked to build a name for herself. Some people have suggested that she leaked it herself to get more publicity for herself and I think that's ridiculous. She is an established actress with a pretty substantial fanbase, largely populated by young women.
Although, I somehow doubt her reputation will be tarnished too much. The pattern with these tapes is that they are big news for awhile then they fade away, only to be referenced later. |
