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."
Tell Us What You Think
63i feel that Montana has made a very big decision in joining this adult industry. She is a young girl who has probably reached puberty and could face sexual temptations. This could lead her to try out to be a porn star.
On the TMZ website, a friend of Montana says her troubles started when she got a boyfriend who was a pimp. This guy pimped Montana out and apparently that's why she's doing porn. She even has his trademark tattooed on her neck. Typical story. Nice girl gets hooked up with the wrong man.
omg. I agree with the dad on this one,. wow. she has her whole life ahead of her why waste it on sex with many different partners. If this is her way of trying to get dad's attention , well she is doing a piss poor job of doing it.
if i were laurence, i would have said the same thing! he is a great actor and now everyone that talks to him will no doubt be thinking about how his daughter is a trashy sk@nk instead of his great work!
Poor Montana. She doesn't understand that the difference between Paris, Kim and her is that they pretended the tape was leaked without their knowledge or cooperation. Then they act like they are embarrassed and ashamed so they can look like they're really nice girls whose trust was betrayed, not conniving and opportunistic s***s. Lastly, they say they negotiated and came to a settlement. That's the no-talent starlet 101 blueprint on how to make it mainstream big through a sex tape. Montana didn't learn a thing from her idols. If you're going to run a scam on the American public, you have to be smart about it. Too bad.
she'll regret it one day. She obviously has some emotional/mental issues...what did she think? What dad would be proud of that?--her mom's not proud either she's just standing by her b/c what else can she really do? She knew it too--that's why she didn't tell either parent until AFTER she made it.
@ Benita....you summed it up!!!!! Hindsight is a B!tch. Montana Stop while your still ahead. It's a hard life your chosing for yourself. It will take a toll on you. STOP NOW!
why don't people stop judging other people and let each other live a life they want to. so what if she's doing porn? she can buy a house a lot faster than the 9-5 working person. there is nothing wrong with porn. LOTS of people watch it and without the adult actors, you wouldn't be able to. she's 18 and legally can do whatever she likes regardless of what her parents want for her. if it doesn't affect YOU directly, why should it matter? how is this girl different than Jenna Jameson?
Hindsights a b@tch Montana!
Is it just me or does this girl seem to have mental problems? Why would she think her dad would support her doing porn. She has got to be crazy. Maybe Laurence should have given this child a little more attention while she was growing up because she seems to harbor some iff feelings towards him.
She will later regret her actions and is going to need daddy...
I would be mad too! Please girl what father would not be ashamed? I feel so bad for him!! Keep your head high we can't control what our kids do..
If it were a man saying things about filming sex at 18 and wanting to do it on camera, we would be calling him a pervert or saying he was a sex addict. Why should she be any different?
Is it just me or does this girl seem to have a mental disorder? Why would any PARENT, let a FATHER be proud that their child wants to do porn for living? Especially since she has the opportunity to do some great things. How about taking you A$$ to college and learning something and stop trying to make a living on your back and your looks.
She doesn't want him to be mad??? She keeps dragging this sob story to the press and trying to make him look bad. She's sharing the details of their convesation to the press.....who would not be mad. What an immature idiot....she thinks her dad is going to be proud. She's a loser. Feel sorry for Laurence!
Child, he should be embarrassed as you should too. Not to judge because who knows what kind of father he was but really he is one of a few actors that always kept it real and never sold out to make a dollar. She could be anything she wants and she chooses to ATTEMPT the EASY road little does her little heart know that is the long from your ass to your elbow. GET IT RIGHT GIRL before you turn into some overdosed pill popper. Beautiful but not acting very smart.
Passionate? So you want to spend your life just having sex? Get a grip. I don't blame him for being emabarrassed!
I love laurence fishburne, so sorry that this is what his daughter decides to do. I hope he realizes that the public supports him and will not think less of him because of his daughters mistakes. Love you laurence!
There was NO WAY they would have hired someone who looks like her to do an adult film UNLESS she had a famous last name. And to all of you who keep saying it is no one's business, let me say that she MAKES it our business by talking to the press every 5 minutes about it. If you live in the public eye, you get judged, plain and simple. Don't like it? Go be a teacher, not a celebrity.
