Late last week, we reported on an exclusive from The National Enquirer that had very solid evidence that Montana Fishburne was a prostitute for over a year before deciding on a porn career that has earned her so many recent headlines. The Enquirer had quotes from Montana’s former lawyer admitting that she gave a guilty plea to a prostitution charge (which she tried to claim was for “loitering”) and adding that she could go to jail for violating parole on that conviction by appearing in an adult film. They also had quotes from a hooker who claims to have known Montana. This hooker said that Montana’s boyfriend is actually her pimp and that he “turned her out” in order to make money for the both of them while Montana was living rent free in his family’s home.
18 year-old Montana has presented her whole adult film career as some kind of empowering personal choice. As many of you have pointed out, it’s not “normal” or within the range of regular teenage sexuality to sell your body and publicize tapes of yourself having sex. It points to some kind of abuse, but that’s a damning conclusion to jump to and of course there are exceptions of young girls who chose careers in the sex industry without those kind of bad experiences. Whatever this girl’s reason or background may be, she’s sticking to her story and it’s not fair to blame anyone, including her famous dad, for the choices she’s made.
Speaking of her famous dad, actor Laurence Fishburne, Montana has finally talked to him after letting him find out through the press that she put out a porn DVD. He doesn’t want anything to do with her, and sounds particularly upset that she’s trading on the family name:
Montana Fishburne tells TMZ.com she phoned her estranged dad Laurence after her adult film was released last week but — surprise! — he didn’t want to talk to her.
According to Montana, 18, her dad said, “I’m not going to speak with you ’till you turn your life around.”
Montana says Laurence also told her, “You embarrassed me.”
How Montana Fishburne got started making porn
According to Montana, Laurence said, “You used your last name. No one uses their real name in porn.”
Her acclaimed actor-dad Laurence, 49, was nominated for an Oscar in 1994 (for What’s Love Got to Do With It?), but Montana recently told UsMagazine.com she wasn’t interested in following in his footsteps.
“I wasn’t really into mainstream acting,” she told Us. “People would ask me, ‘Do you want to get into acting? Do you want to be an actress?’ and I would say, straight up, ‘No.’…I knew I wanted to do adult [films].”
Filming herself having sex on camera for the first time at age 18, she told Us, “I liked it. I was like, ‘Wow, now I really want to do it. [I] just took it from there. I became really passionate after my first at-home video.”

What can you say about this – I guess I don’t blame him. Fishburne reportedly tried to pay Vivid a million dollars to block the release of Montana’s sex tape but was unsuccessful. He’s probably beyond hurt that she did this, and you would assume there’s a lot of guilt there too. I wouldn’t assume that it was warranted, though.
