Jenna Lewis' 15 minutes of fame are not going the way she planned. The
"Survivor" and "Survivor All-Stars" veteran has landed an unwanted new
role: Internet sex star. Lewis is speaking out for the first time, only
to "Extra," about the sex-tape that has her fighting mad.
"Unfortunately, once it gets on the Internet, it's going to be there for
life," Lewis says. "There's no taking it back. That's what is the
hardest to deal with."
Jenna, who is 27, recently married 22-year-old model Travis Wolfe, and
it was on their wedding night in Las Vegas when the couple filmed what
Lewis calls, "the consummation of our wedding."
But one week later, Lewis was horrified to discover the tape was gone.
"I ran around the house crying, screaming, so angry and upset that day,"
Lewis remembers.
"It's a moment of pure terror when you can't find the tape," adds Wolfe.
Lewis is the mother of 8-year-old twins, and she says her first thought
after discovering the tape missing was, "How am I going to explain this
to them?" But curiosity of who took the tape quickly followed. "That's
the $64,000 question," Lewis tells us. "It's what runs through our minds
every day."
Some Internet stories have hinted the couple released the tape
themselves, to which Jenna, who turned down huge money to pose for
Playboy a few years ago, replies, "If I'm not going to do Playboy for a
ton of money, I'm certainly not going to put something like this out
there that could hurt my family and friends."
Lewis has a couple of TV projects in the works and claims that, unlike
other celebrities who were caught on tape, she hopes people will forget
about her tape soon.
"Paris and Pam are up here. Who wants to exploit a C-list reality
celebrity?" wonders Jenna. "I mean, really."
For more on Jenna Lewis and her sex tape fiasco, tune into Friday's
edition of "Extra."

That sounds about right. :-)
I doubt we can prove anything one way or the other, but this isn't a
court of law, so I'll go ahead (with the assumption that she DID
approve the video's release)...
Assuming that's true... It's too bad. She seems like a nice girl and
it's too bad that her big move has to involve her doing a bunch of
lying just so she can make some money or get on entertainment shows or
whatever.
I've got no problem with a woman deciding to release a sex tape, but
it's a bummer if she feels that in our society, the only way she can
do it is to claim all this "crying," "screaming," "terror," and so on.

Exactly!!!

IIRC, Pamela Anderson blamed some home renovators for stealing that
tape of her (which sounds likes BS to me), so who does Jenna pin the
blame on for "stealing" her tape and how would they know it was a home
made porno and worth stealing in the first place?
Jenna is just smart enough to label it.

Any time there is a camcorder sitting
beside the bed in a Las Vegas hotel
room you can be pretty sure what kind
of tape it is. ;-)
I still don't get how 'stars' expect to claim
the tapes as stolen, though. If the tape shows
up for free on the internet, a claim that it
was stolen would hold water. However, if
it shows up *first* on a pay web site, someone
is making money off of it. If it was actually
stolen, the website would be guilty of trafficking
in stolen merchandise. Where are the arrests?
Instead, what we will likely see see is Jenna
cashing royalty checks while claiming she
has been harmed.
What is the point of the 'it was stolen' farse anyway?
I guess that farse is put forth for the same reason that
so much porn is labeled as 'amateurs in action'?
Why is 'secret' or 'amateur' stuff considered better
by the buyers of such stuff? Makes no sense.

Excellent point.
Note also that while Jenna's lawyers apparently did get several websites
to stop distributing the tape, they apparently never got the original
distribution website, www.realitytail.com, to stop distributing it.
Even though this original website would have been the one who was
directly involved in stealing the tape, and hence is the worst violator
of the law here.

IIRC, on the tape, Jenna and Travis said to each other they would erase
the tape as soon as they had finished viewing it.
Somehow it just slipped their minds.
I'll bet Jenna and Travis immediately locked up their valuable
*camcorder* in a hotel safe deposit box though, so it wouldn't get
stolen. :-)
I haven't been to the web-site where the tape was being sold, but wouldn't
it be fairly easy to trace who owns the domain for that site? And since the
site was in fact collecting money for the tape, wouldn't you think Jenna
would have asked law enforcement agencies to go after the site for having
sold stolen goods?
For me, the way to establish whether Jenna is telling the truth is to ask if
she has filed any kind of formal complaint with law enforcement. If all she
is doing is complaining to TV reporters about it, then I'd be inclined to
agree with the "bullshit" comment.
Not without a court order if you have private registration.

I love how the Extra piece showed lots of footage that could only help
the site sell copies of the video! :-o
They showed the URL quite clearly, along with some still from the home
page that seems to have Ms. Lewis with her mouth open in a sexual
way... At least twice!
