This weekend, rumors of a sex tape featuring New York began to
circulate around the Internet. The accompanying video featured a woman
whose resemblance to New York was literally unclear: the clip was,
simply, too grainy to reveal if VH1's High Priestess of Sexuality was
one of the parties involved. It seemed suspect, and with reason: New
York has spoken out to the New York Post to set the record
straight: "It is absolutely not me," she told the paper. "Do I strike
you as the kind of woman who would have a sex tape floating around out
there and not be standing by that tape? I'm nobody's role model. I have
a trash-talking potty mouth, I do what I want to do, that's who I am as
a person."
Ha! The best thing about this whole ordeal is the sound-bite
opportunities it provided. New York explains further: "I'm a strong
black woman and if I did something like this I would 'fess up. If I had
a sex tape, I'd say when I did it and who I did it with - I have
nothing to hide. Nobody runs my world other than myself and whatever I
do in this lifetime, good or bad, I will own it and I will not own that
tape because it's not me...A sex tape today does not equal disaster. If
I did have a sex tape, I wouldn't deny it."
Even better? New York says it can't be her since the woman in the
tape a) doesn't have the "Princess" tattoo above her left breast and b)
since the woman's performance is underwhelming. "I am way more creative
than that," she says. Heh.
New York says she's considering taking legal action against the site
that originally made the claim, and that Tailor Made stands behind her.
But then, where else would he stand? [New York Post]
