Apparently nineteen-year-old porn star Montana Fishburne, daughter of Oscar-nominated actor Lawrence Fishburne, loves attention. Within the past month the teenager released a sex tape and has done test shots for Playboy Magazine. On top of that, Fishburne caused a media frenzy doing press promotions for her sex tape and telling interviewers that her goal is to someday be like fellow celebrity sex tape star Kim Kardashian. What is even more absurd is her apathy towards what this fiasco has done to her father’s reputation.

“For him [Lawrence Fishburne], it’s his reputation, because we are linked together. I understand that. It’s hard for any dad to see their daughter on tape. I understand, but at the same time I want him to understand that this is my dream,” Fishburne said in a TMZ.com interview.

It is evident that Fishburne wanted to hurt her father and use her last name so that she could garner press attention. Either way, her intentions are artificial and it is disgusting how she pretends that her lineage has nothing to do with the public’s interest in her porn videos.

Watching Chippy D—as she likes to be called—frolic from newsroom to newsroom making orgasmic faces as she explains how much she loves porn does not sit well. It is obvious that she is pleading for attention, but sadly she is unaware that her juvenile choices will most likely affect her in the long run. She seems very young, ill-informed and naïve. She believes that because Kim Kardashian got success from putting out a sex tape that she will too. She told E! Online that she didn’t want to follow in her father’s footsteps. Instead she wanted to get fame the quick and easy way. Well, she was right about one thing: sex scandals are the quickest way to get your face plastered on the home screen of Yahoo! News.

So far Chippy D’s sex tape has sold over 25,000 copies. Vivid Entertainment (the company that released the sex tape) is planning to sign her to a multi-movie deal to star in more sex tapes.

What happened in our society that this is okay? Celebrity sex tapes and nude photos are normal these days and the stars keep getting younger and younger. Even Disney channel characters like Vanessa Hudgens have unsavory skeletons in their Google searches. Back in the day it wasn’t cool to be 16 and pregnant, now MTV has an entire series dedicated to it. These are the people young children are watching on television; these are the women little girls aspire to be. Things have to change.

As for Montana Fishburne’s career in the porn industry: best of luck to her. Hopefully  little girls won’t regard her as she did Kim Kardashian. Hopefully little girls will see Fishburne, roll their eyes and apply for college.

In ten years Chippy D will be on Vh1’s Celebrity Fit Club.
