Kim Kardashian and sex tape scandal

If you missed out on Kim Kardashian's sex tape scandal the first time around, the reality TV celebutante is here to happily remind you that the situation was beyond embarrassing for her. Unfortunately, for aspiring socialites like Montana Fishburne it's a reminder that fame is just a sex tape away. In a recent interview with Allure, Kardashian's September cover girl feature gives her another chance to talk about the sex tape drama and it's "humiliating" existence.

For Kim, she feels the only way to truly overcome the ordeal is to "replace" the bad with good. But for Montana, daughter of actor Laurence Fishburne, she says Kim's sex tape inspired her to do the same.

"This is something I wanted to do," Montana said in an interview with Us magazine. "I think that, in time, my father will support my decision," she added, suggesting that she will eventually "rise to fame" like fellow socialites Paris Hilton and, namely, Kim Kardashian.

Despite the fact that Kim's sex tape happened nearly four years ago, her videotaped rendezvous with former ex-boyfriend Ray J is still brought up in nearly every interview. After the tape was leaked in 2007, Kardashian sued distributor Vivid Entertainment but later dropped the suit after settling for $5 million.

"Not my most proud moment," said Kim to Allure. "It was humiliating. But now let's move on. Not that I don't think it's no one's business, but I think I've done a good job with replacing negative things with positive things."

Like an entire empire with a net worth of more than $12M, according to CelebrityNetWorth.com. Which, by the way, gives Kim a bio that paints a picture of Before Sex Tape Kim vs. After Sex Tape Kim.

"Before the infamous Kim Kardashian sex tape was released, Kim was just a lowly assistant and stylist to the stars," writes the site. "Since then her fame has skyrocketed to the stratosphere. She is a media mogul have starred in movies and her own reality TV show. She has even launched a clothing line, perfume, and weight loss products.
