Kim Kardashian has managed to turn doing next-to-nothing into a multimillion-dollar industry. But the road she took to her fame and fortune, which included a leaked sex tape, has led at least one young woman to decide that making porn is a valid pathway to celebrity.
Nineteen-year-old Montana Fishburne, the daughter of actor Laurence Fishburne, is hoping that starring in a pornographic video will help her become famous. And she says her role model is none other than Kardashian.
"I view making this movie as an important first step in my career," Montana Fishburne said in a statement. "I've watched how successful Kim Kardashian became and I think a lot of it was due to the release of her sex tape. I'm hoping the same magic will work for me. I'm impatient about getting well-known and having more opportunities, and this seemed like a great way to get started on it."
Last week, Kardashian tweeted to a fan who said she was going to get plastic surgery to look like the reality star, warning her against it.
Now some say it is Kardashian?s job to speak out about the perils of pornography.
?I think Kim should say something. I don?t think she was happy about her sex video being released publicly and the reality is porn is not a career that is empowering,? says Bonnie Fuller, president and editor in chief of Hollywood Life. ?I think that Kim as a role model has a duty to speak out here and say this isn?t a valid career choice.?
Kardashian?s camp had no comment.
