All week long, reality TV fans have been buzzing about the shocking upcoming sex tape from “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta” stars Mimi Faust and her boyfriend, Nikko. And although most people have been worried about how much the super-strong shower rod Faust used in the video costs, another number that’s now floating around the web is the alleged six-figure sum that Faust got to sign off on the video.
According to HollywoodLife.com, sources claim that Faust is releasing the sex tape to increase her fame.
“Have you ever heard of Mimi Faust before her porn dropped? Exactly!” the source asked. “Mimi is trying to make a name for herself and become relevant. She’s riding this new wave of fame until it ends.”
And according to the source, Faust earned a somewhat sizable check from porn company Vivid Entertainment out of the deal.
“She did it for the money and from what I’m hearing, she cashed in about 100 racks,” the source added.
Vivid Entertainment founder Steve Hirsch also spoke with the site and explained how he got his hands on the sex tape.
“We were approached by a third party to release the tape. I wasn’t familiar with Mimi and Nikko or ‘Love and Hip Hop Atlanta.’ After doing some research, I realized just how big both the show and the tape could be. It was a struggle to ultimately get the deal done but we did. And this tape will be huge. Massive!” Hirsch said.
And when asked if he thought Faust’s sex tape would be bigger than “Teen Mom” star Farrah Abrahamson’s sex tape, Hirsch replied, “Early indications are that this will be a huge blockbuster. Sky’s the limit.”
If that’s the case, and the $100,000 deal is real, we wonder why Faust would sign off for such a low price, especially considering the buzz surrounding the tape thus far. $100,000 seems like a low price considering how tarnished her image is now. – nicholas robinson
