Kari Ann Peniche did not have sex with Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart, the troubled former beauty queen, who believes their nude tape was stolen from her, says.
The alleged Eric Dane sex tape, featuring the drugged-up naked trio, contains absolutely no sex, and none occurred when the camera was off, Kari Ann said.
In a statement, Dane’s lawyer went out of his way to distinguish between a sex tape and a naked video. Which is not to say the 12-minute tape isn’t risque.
The three played dress up and the two naked women then lounged together in a bathtub as Eric filmed them, high as kites and musing about porn names.
It’s weirder than it is hot.
As for how it was leaked, Kari Ann Peniche says the nude video was stored on the hard drive of her computer, but stolen by troubled country star Mindy McCready, her roommate after the two completed a stint on the TV show Celebrity Rehab.
Kari Ann Peniche says she got into an argument with McCready over money and the singer ganked her hard drive as a result. Peniche freaked about personal info on the hard drive getting out and filed a stolen property report with the LAPD.
Peniche was kicked off Celebrity Rehab for stealing from McCready, ironically.
The disappearance of her hard drive eventually led to a meeting of reps and lawyers for Eric Dane, Rebecca Gayheart, Kari Ann and Mindy, in which Dane was granted rights to the video and everything was assumed to be resolved.
Until the Eric Dane tape surfaced on the Internet yesterday, that is.
There is another rumor going around that the nude tape surfaced as part of an official investigation into Kari Ann Peniche’s alleged sex-for-hire business.
In any case, here are some photos of Kari Ann Peniche, the third wheel in what is definitely the weirdest celebrity threesome with a married couple ever:
