After making her porn debut, Laurence Fishburne's 18-year-old daughter Montana says she is being inundated with offers -- from outside the adult film industry.
"I'm actually getting a lot of mainstream offers," she tells The Hollywood Reporter, declining to get into specifics. "They are acting roles. I'm open to scripted and reality. It just all depends on what the project it is. If something truly interests me, I'll get super involved and want to make it happen."
PHOTOS: Stars who've grown up too fast
Montana - who declines to say whether she earned $250,000 for her porn -- says that's the reason why she bared all in the first place: to jump start her career.
"Kim Kardashian's sex tape was released, but she still got past that," says Montana. "Even though she got all that negative attention for it, she still has all these other ventures going on now. That is what I want to emulate: having a tape come out and still being seen as a positive person. Not just, 'She's a porn star.'"
She is "happy" that her father's friends were unsuccessful when they tried to buy all the videos to keep her porn film from being released.
She adds that she hasn't been speaking to her father since he told her how he was "embarrassed" by her.
"Until he respects me and accepts me for who I am, I don't think we will have much of a relationship," she says.
Growing up, she says her childhood was "traditionally unconventional. I've had divorced parents since I was 2, and my dad was a really famous actor, so it was as conventional as it could be. We had the best of the best: private schools, traveling all over the world. I've had a happy life."
Tell Us What You Think
28Montana is a real dumbass!! She will never be the next kim kardashian! She does not even have a big ass
Dear Montana, You are not being a positive person, your being an attention wh*re. You will never be like Kim and the reason is she wasn't trying to put her body out there for everyone to see. It happend and she regrets it. Plus she is a positive role model to girls everywhere. She isn't saying go make pornos and get famous. Its people like you who make kids this generation think sex is a good way to get noticed. Grow up your an adult you want to make something of yourself, maybe start a fashion line like Kim, or make something good out of yourself! Cuz right now your just a lame 18 year old who needs to take off her close to be noticed and its sad!
spare us--- , girl!!!
She's 18, she is going to regret this someday. I feel sorry for her father all he can do is stand by and watch her start down a bad road! We know everything at 18 but by the time we reach 30 we realize how stupid we were! Too bad!
I AGREE with you, Allison Marshall.
The biggest thing that is so weird about this is that she is fine admitting it! I happen to think that lots of celeb sex tapes are premeditated but at least they claim not to be. She's just going right out there and saying she wants to do this. Normally I would respect the honesty, but she is going to look back and regret this. She has a well respected actor for a father-surely there was another way to become a successful actress. No one will forget how she got into the business, no matter how successful she might become. This is a very sad product of some of the negative aspects of our society. She is so young she has no idea what the implications of her actions could be. She wants to be Kim Kardashian? There's only one Kim, just like there's only one Montana Fishburne. Perhaps she should try to just be herself.
To Leslie Boyd: Yeah. In the interviews I've read about her, she's always said Kim was her inspiration, and she was hoping to be able to achieve the same success. I think being a porn star is a "disgusting embarrassment", too--ESPECIALLY, when you've been born to a certain level of privilege. It JUST ISN'T NECESSARY. Star's today are making porn "mainstream". I don't care if people enjoy porn in private, but I WISH it wouldn't be viewed as a desirable "career" choice. I think it is damaging to the people who engage in it. But, many people only see the CASH. And, I believe Kim & DEFINITELY Kendra (who started a company for profiting off of her tapeS) ALSO had the same "plan". They just use the fact that they were in relationships as a "cover up" for their TRUE intentions. These women have shown they have NO PROBLEM with selling sex & their bodies by their later involvement with Playboy. Hey, it's their OWN choice to make. But, they've lost the respect of MANY PEOPLE, including ME.
I didn't say Kim was a mainstream actress but I never read she wanted to be like Kim K until this.. She said her dream and goal in life was to be a PORN actress not mainstream an now she changes her mind? Why? Because people think she is a disgusting embarrassment to her father that is why
I think it's just sad. The difference with Montana is her plan is pre-meditated. This poor child is planning on being a porn star vs Paris, Kendra & Kim who were in alleged relationships. I hope she finds a better way to obtain fame & fortune. She's beautiful; if only she believed it. She needs counseling, prayer & a legit agent.
You're a damn fool Montana you know damn well Laurence will never except who you are!
I'm black, and I don't appreciate the "racist hypocrisy" ESPECIALLY when it comes from other people of color. I DISAPPROVE of the "sex tape avenue to fame" for both Montana AND Kim. BTW, this public "protestation" to sex tape releases is just AN ACT to try to preserve one's public image. That's why I respect Montana for her HONESTY. She's NO DIFFERENT than Paris, Kim, Kendra, etc. They ALL had this plan and "worked it". MONTANA is the ONLY ONE who was honest about her intentions. But, I agree with the poster below me, she should have gotten daddy to pull some strings. It would have been a MORE CHALLENGING and LESS CERTAIN route to fame, but she would not have lost the respect of the public. Oh well. It's GONE NOW.
To Leslie Boyd: YES, I remember her saying she wanted to be a p o r n actress rather than a mainstream actress. I think these people just want to do whatever will be MOST LUCRATIVE in the long run. They don't care whether it's porn OR mainstream. I think they finally try to go mainstream because there's a larger market available for economic success. But, REALLY, I think they'd stick to p o r n if that was the only avenue they'd have to access "wealth". I mean, think about it. If they were willing to use p o r n as a career FOUNDATION, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't mind using it to establish the remaining structure if necessary.
To Leslie Boyd: Montana's ALWAYS said that she wanted to be like Kim K. So, there's nothing new there. Also, Kim K IS NOT a "mainstream actress".
To Annalee Jackson: I TOTALLY AGREE. I'm TIRED of people wanting to take off their clothes and release sex tapes so that they can get the career opportunities of people who worked hard, SACRIFICED, and developed TRUE TALENT to gain opportunities. It seems a lot of young people today value TAKING THE EASY WAY OUT. It's really sad. They're PROUD to "get something for nothing" and think that makes them "smart". No. It just makes you lazy and cheap. I think you're right. "Reality tv" should be the realm of people who want to exhibitionist fame, and Hollywood, the music industry, etc. should be for people who are willing to WORK HARD AND SACRIFICE for opportunities and development. (And, I mean work hard PRIOR to utilizing tactics like "sex tape releases" for attention NOT AFTER. And, REALLY, I mean work hard WITHOUT EVER FALLING BACK ON the "sex tape, Playboy, public nudity" track for attention.
She's delusional. That's a white, rich girl hustle. Black girls don't get put on that easily.
omg! dont u dear try to justify ur situation by usin kim as an xcuse! ...kim did her tape with her man! an not for money! ....plus! the tape didnt make kim famous! her hotness did!
this doesn't make sense! and her dad is a famous actor, just ask daddy to pull some strings like all the other spoiled hollywood kids
I DISAGREE with Montana's choice, but I RESPECT her honesty. I hope she gets SOMETHING from this, considering she's jeopardized her relationship with her father. It's sad that many people today seem to value MONEY more than good ethics and reputation. OF COURSE, her father doesn't want her to do p o r n. He WORKED HARD to gain respect for himself, and he wants the same for his CHILDREN. Montana may get "mainstream" offers via reality t.v. etc., but I doubt she'll EVER gain the level of respect her FATHER has. I get the impression that she "doesn't care" about that as long as she has a large bank account. That's the SAD STATE of today's youth. And, I don't know what she's talking about. Kim has LOTS of businesses and cash, but MANY PEOPLE still call her a p o r n star. I think it will be A LONG TIME before THAT changes. Oh well. Montana's video is out. No backing away from her public p o r n star status NOW.
This chick ain't wrapped too tight !
I agree, I remember reading some where she did not want to be "mainstream" so why back track now. If you so big bad and grown why could you not be like most porn stars and prostitutes and get some made up name. You like the low lifes you deal with punk you into using your real name to drag your father down. Monatna needs to wake up and do something POSITIVE....but this will be with her FOR LIFE. I bet Kim and Paris on some level wish those tapes were not released. That is why they sued. And I seen a Montana clip..her rear...all connect the dot looking...is not cute. Her acting was horrible..for someone that said SHE WAS SO COMFORTABLE. Yeah Right
