A decade ago, having a celebrity sex tape was all of the rage because it helped a budding star become famous — not always for the right reasons, but it was a way to make a name for yourself. The cautionary tales of celebs caught in sex-tape scandals have certainly simmered, but that hasn’t deterred Hollywood’s fetish for amateur boudoir videography on their smartphones (please keep it there). Hopefully, wannabe TV personalities know that becoming an Instagram model or TikTok star are certainly better paths to fame now . But we still have to give a shoutout to OG sex tapes with Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee and Kim Kardashian and Ray J — while the couples would rather the public forget about these tapes, they’ve become classics in the sex-video industry. Check out your definitive guide to all of the stars with a sex tape still in circulation.
A version of this story originally appeared in 2014.
Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta star, Mimi Faust, who recorded a hardcore romp with her on-again, off-again onscreen boyfriend, Nikko Smith, made headlines with their naughty video. What makes this tape unique, though, is that Faust and Smith actually gave Vivid Entertainment their blessing to take the tape public. Surely there’s a better way to ramp up ratings…
Kim Kardashian’s ex Kris Humphries made a sex tape August of 2013 with Myla Sinanaj, TV personality turned Kardashian wannabe. Sinanaj has been doing everything she can to follow in Kim’s footsteps, even so far as getting surgery to look more like her.
One of the most dramatic sex tape scandals was when Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee and Baywatch star Pamela Anderson made a sex tape in 1995. The couple claims that the tape of their honeymoon was stolen from their home. They sued the video company IEG, then later settled confidentially in court.
Saved by the Bell star Dustin Diamond wanted so badly to stop being cast as the innocent character that he directed his own sex tape in 2006 entitled Screeched — Saved by the Smell.

Celebrity sex tapes come in two forms: the celebrities that were famous first and featured in a tape second and those who actually became famous for their involvement in a tape. There are also, of course, those celebrity sex tapes you DIDN'T want to see. Most of these celeb tapes are actually watchable, but there are certainly a few that we wouldn't recommend.
This list of famous Hollywood celebrities caught filming a movie in the sheets features a little of both. Be it an actor, actress, singer or politician, male or female, intimate movies seem to be all the rage for the biggest celebrities these days. Some are released by former lovers looking to make a buck while others are filmed in secret without the knowledge of the participants. Some famous people even market their own tapes with the hopes of making a buck or getting their names back in the headlines via news reports about a star or wannabe star's latest new celebrity sex tape. Occasionally famous people will even go for it and full on make a steamy video meant for release. That's certainly one way to get people to talk about you...
This list is only about real saucy celebrity videos some of them "leaked," others clearly not-even-pretending-to-be leaked!
Compton rapper, sort-of reality TV star , and stupendously endowed superhuman The Game supposedly appeared in a leaked tape in mid-September 2016. There isn't much going on in the clip , and it's impossible to tell if it's actually Game in the video. It hasn't made much of an impact in the world, so all-in-all, the leaking of the tape was something of a non-event.
The lackluster quality of skill on display in the clip is disappointing for those who expected (or hoped) a man as outspoken, fit, ahem large, and savage as Game to release a Kraken of a video on an unsuspecting, god-fearing world. Where is the filth-soaked opus of depraved severity, quivering limbs, banshee-like shrieks, flailing members, Hobbesian state-of-nature ferocity, and explosive jets of fluid the masses want?
To quote Teonny Spears of gossip site Pop Glitz :
My friend Sonny Mac told me that someone has leaked a tape that features Game, and while we all HOPED it would have been very pleasing to watch, it’s only 4 minutes of The Game in missionary style, sadly pretending to give a good stroke.
You would think that someone of his caliber (fine as hell, well-built, and packing) would have better…game (no pun intended) than this. I don’t know about ya’ll but when I think about "it" and The Game, I think of GREATNESS. MAYBE he was tired and the good footage got lost somewhere, here’s to hoping it comes out later.

Singer and actress Jennifer Lopez made a raunchy honeymoon tape with ex-husband Ojani Noa where she exposes her nether regions and there's supposedly 20 minutes of JLo without clothes. It is, however, prohibited to be released due to a temporary restraining order from JLo and court orders.
Turns out Hulk Hogan is truly a "Real American" which he proved by having a not-so-secret video released to the public. What makes it all the more interesting is that the woman who Hogan is having relations with in the tape is the wife of his friend, radio personality Bubba the Lovesponge.
Not only that, but he had full permission to do the dirty with her by Bubba himself. What's not so great was that the video was made around 2007 when Hogan was still firmly married to former wife Linda.
In 2016, Hogan took Gawker media to court over their coverage of the whole debacle. Gawker was forced to pay Hogan $100 million and shut down its operation. Gawker's other media properties were bought up by Univision and retained.
Rob Lowe got himself in trouble after a tape where he is with two young women (one underage) was leaked. As if that was not bad enough, the tape also showed Lowe having relations with another man and a female model. That's a double whammy right there.

As we've pointed out time and time again (opens in new tab) , people have sex! And it's normal, and most of the time fun and great! And sometimes, people want to document that fun and great time they're having for a whole range of reasons. Maybe you and your partner want to watch it later and do some play-by-play review. Maybe just the knowledge that a camera is rolling makes the act hotter than hot (opens in new tab) —even if you never watch the video afterwards. The point is that making a consensual sex tape in the privacy of one's own home is nothing to be ashamed of.
But, when you're a celebrity, things get a little (and in some cases a lot ) more complicated. First and most obviously, there's always the possibility that said tape might get leaked, stolen, or sold without your approval. This is why there are so, so *many* celebrity sex tapes lurking on the internet—none of which we will be linking to, btw. Watching a sex tape that you know was released without the informed, enthusiastic consent of all participants is not something anyone should be watching. But the stories of how these sex tapes were released, why they were released, and how the celebs in question dealt with their release is a fascinating chapter in pop culture worth delving into. Shall we begin?
Obviously, Pam's most famous sex tape is her iconic romp with Tommy Lee, but Anderson also made a sex tape with her ex-boyfriend, Bret Michaels. The Poison musician spoke out about his efforts to stop the film's release in 1998, when he went to court and obtained a temporary restraining order against Internet Entertainment Group (I.E.G.) from releasing the tape, which the company said they were given by a friend of Michaels'.
Michaels reportedly spent at least $100,000 fighting the tape's release and expressed frustration that Anderson wasn't fighting harder alongside him in the crusade.
"What I'm jonesing to find out, and I can not figure out for the life of me, is why Pamela is not A) stopping this tape, or B) writing to these guys to stop the tape," Michaels told MTV News (opens in new tab) at the time. "It makes no sense to me. I can not figure out. I have the original copy. I have it. No one's ever touched it. No one's ever gotten to it. I have it, period, end of story, and it's never gone out, so I'm anxious to find out who gave them this tape or a copy of this tape and now they're forced to disclose it. And no, I've never taken a cent, not a penny. These guys have cost me a lot of money, and they're going to pay for it."
Dustin Diamond, aka Screech from Saved by the Bell , gave the world the sex tape it never asked for in 2006. The, um, film , which Diamond directed and released himself, had the cringiest name: Screeched – Saved by the Smell . The movie felt like a huge stunt when it was released and that's probably because, well, it was. Years later, during an interview for "Where Are They Now?" on the Oprah Winfrey Network (opens in new tab) , Diamond even claimed to have used a body double in the film and to have edited his own likeness into the footage after the fact.
"In my stupidity, I thought I could totally fake this. I could get a stunt person to take my place," he explained. "It’s my face but nothing else. Looking back now in my 30s, I realize that was really dumb."
So why make the video? The money, of course. Diamond explained during the interview that the idea came to him when he heard that Paris Hilton earned $14 million off the release of her infamous One Night in Paris sex tape.
"The sex tape is the thing that I’m most embarrassed about," Diamond explained. "And my buddy said, ‘$14 million? Holy smokes, where’s the Screech sex tape? You got to be worth at least a million.' And I thought, ‘Yeah — yeah, maybe.’ And that’s as simple as it was."
Turns out, however, that there wasn't enough of a market for Screech porn to make the whole ordeal worth it, financially.
"I definitely got some money off of it but it definitely wasn’t worth what the fallout was,” he said. "People to this day look down on me. There’s a lot of people [who think] ‘how disgusting of you’ — and I didn’t really do it."
In 2008, KISS legend Gene Simmons was the star of a celebrity sex tape (opens in new tab) that made the rounds on the internet. The video featured the musician and an Austrian energy drink spokesmodel named Elsa (her last name is never stated on camera) and was set to the soundtrack of Foreigner's, "I Want To Know What Love Is."
Simmons issued a statement (opens in new tab) about the tape on his personal website at the time, writing, "You may have heard or seen garbage that has sprung up from my past. Rest assured the proper legal team is looking at all ramifications and options."
The timing of the tape's release—just a couple of weeks before the premiere of the third season of Simmons' A&E reality show, Gene Simmons' Family Jewels —led to some speculation that the very NSFW tape wasn't an accidental leak at all, but a planned publicity stunt to generate buzz for the show.
In 1988, Rob Lowe was involved in a pre-internet age sex tape scandal that seriously threatened his future in the entertainment industry. During a 2019 interview on SiriusXM's The Jess Cagle Show (opens in new tab) , Lowe seemed to have developed a good attitude about the ordeal over the years and even credits the incident—in part, at least—with inspiring his sobriety.
"It's one of the reasons why I got sober," he said. "I, like, woke up one day and was like, 'What am I doing with my life?' People talk about it, I go, 'I think it’s the best thing that ever happened to me.' Honestly, I do, 'cause it got me sober. Sober got me married. I’ve been married 29 years, and I have two great sons. I don’t think any of that happens without going through that scandal. I really don't."
Amy Fisher, aka the infamous "Long Island Lolita," is still best known for the crime she committed as a teenager (when she was 17, Fisher shot and injured the wife of her lover, Joey Buttafuoco, who was 36 at the time).
In 2007, Fisher embarked on a major rebranding, filming several sex tapes (opens in new tab) with her husband, Louis Bellera. Later that year, several more videos and nude pictures of Fisher were released online and, by the time she was 33, Fisher had launched her own porn site, released a pay-per-view adult film (opens in new tab) called Amy Fisher: Caught On Tape , and planned a strip-tease tour (opens in new tab) of the U.S. In 2011, Fisher announced (opens in new tab) her retirement from adult films.
Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham's sex tape with porn pro James Deen was released in 2013.
“Now that you’re 21, you’ve pretty much been crying every night because you are single and alone. So, you make your own video, celebrate your awesome body (and) get your own sexy shots. So, the person you did this with has the urge to yell it out, when he should be professional and is not. But you have companies that are interested, so why not sell it? And that’s what I did," she said (opens in new tab) in a video statement explaining the deal she inked with Vivid Entertainment after the video hit the web.
Although the video was originally framed as a personal video that had leaked, it quickly became clear (opens in new tab) that it was, in fact, a professional production and that the "leak" was a marketing stunt.
Kim Kardashian is an accomplished businesswoman who's turned herself and her entire family into a brand. That fact exists separately from her sex tape. However, her career did jump-start from the tape she made with then-boyfriend Ray J in 2002. The video, known as Kim Kardashian, Superstar, was released by porn company Vivid Entertainment in 2007, and while Kim initially sued to stop the release, she settled for a rumored (opens in new tab) $5 million. The film is reported to have made $100 million (opens in new tab) since debuting.
"It was a very difficult time, and ultimately we were able to come to an agreement," says (opens in new tab) Vivid's Steve Hirsch. "It was a very difficult deal to get done. Probably [the hardest deal we’ve done]. [Kim] did not want it to happen. I know people have speculated on [whether she planned the release of the tape from the beginning], but the facts are the facts. A lot of nonsense has been reported over the years."
Kim has talked openly about the tape, telling Oprah, "I think that's how I was definitely introduced to the world, so I like to think that I am, you know, aware, I'm not naive to that fact. That's pretty much how I was introduced to the world. It was a negative way. So I felt like I really had to work ten times harder to get people to see the real me. I felt humiliated."
To this day, Kim experiences sexist backlash from the tape.
