Montana Fishburne Chose To Become A Porn Star
Montana Fishburne garnered significant media attention in 2010 when she publicly declared her intention to pursue a career in the adult film industry, commonly known as pornography. At the age of 19, she expressed her perspective to People magazine, stating, “Engaging in adult films doesn’t faze me. It’s something I’ve always aspired to do. I’ve consistently felt at ease with my body and my sexuality.”
Montana Fishburne mentioned that her inspiration to enter the adult film industry came from Kim Kardashian, who gained significant publicity due to her 2007 sex tape.
Montana Fishburne said that she had been aware of the adult film industry for four years, and after turning 18, she began seriously considering how to enter the business. She was inspired by Kim Kardashian’s success following the release of her tape by Vivid Entertainment. Montana contacted the company and arranged a meeting with Steven Hirsch, the founder and co-chairman, where she convinced him that she knew what she wanted, and they planned her debut in the industry.
Not long after her announcement, reports surfaced that Montana had been arrested for prostitution the year prior. She ended up being charged with criminal trespass, a misdemeanor to which she pleaded no contest. Montana was sentenced to two years of probation and 15 days in jail, which she managed to avoid by doing community service.
But Montana didn’t allow her transgressions with the law stop her from achieving her goals. In fact, she admitted that becoming a porn star was something she had wanted to do for years. “I had a little passion inside me to do porn,” she told Us Weekly “I didn’t really want to tell too many people about it because I was afraid of their reactions when I was younger. I started thinking about it…when I was 16.”
Montana expressed her clear preference for not pursuing a conventional acting career like her father’s. In her own words, she stated, “I wasn’t really into mainstream acting.” When people inquired if she aspired to be an actress, her response was straightforward: “No.” She knew from the outset that her true calling was to work in the adult film industry.
