TMZ is reporting that Montana Fishburne has sent several letters to Pumper demanding that he stop the sale of "Phattys Rhymes & Dimes 14," a video in which Montana and Brian appear together. The letter claims that Montana only did the video for practice and agreed with Pumper that he'd never sell it to the general public. As of yet, Pumper has not responded to the letter.
I dropped my 18-year old daughter off at college today. On the way to campus, we had a long conversation about life, hard work, and dealing with men. One of the first things I explained to my daughter about men is that they love to lie to get what they want. So, I repeat that same advice to every young woman reading this article.
I've often wondered what I would do had my daughter called me up to tell me that she's chosen to take the Montana Fishburne route to fame and fortune. Well, after I finished choking her, I would then help her to realize that the porn industry is a very dirty game, filled with malicious and deceptive people. The idea that Montana, the daughter of one of the most respected actors in the world, would expect a struggling porn star to honor a verbal agreement to pass up hundreds of thousands of dollars in sales reminds us that this poor girl is still nothing but a child. I fear that Montana is going to make enough mistakes over the next 12 months to last a lifetime, and the rest of us are going to be forced to endure the torture of watching her destroy her future.
Note to Montana Fishburne: The industry sees you as both bait and a meal ticket. When making the tradeoff between honor and money, honor almost always comes a distant second. You may decide to give every piece of your soul to the pornographic industry, but the industry will give you nothing back.
