Like so many D-list celebs before her, Tamra Barney now has a “leaked sex tape” that’s making the rounds online.

Unlike the Kim Kardashians and Paris Hiltons of the world, however, Tamra’s comes with a twist worthy of M. Night Shyamalan.

Yes, the whole thing is a bait-and-switch ploy designed to draw attention to Tamra and husband Eddie Judge’s new fitness-related YouTube channel.

A lame and obvious joke? Absolutely, but it may also be a marketing stroke of genius. Barney even went so far as to upload the clip as “Tamra and Eddie’s Leaked Sex Tape.” 

That’s sure to get more hits than “Ad For Tamra’s YouTube Channel.”

It’s strange timing for such a bold ad campaign, considering Tamra lost custody of her daughter Sydney earlier this week. 

Perhaps she’s been waiting to release the suggestive clip until after the court had made its decision?

In any, event considering Tamra makes $600,000 a season just for stirring the pot on The Real Housewives of Orange County we’re guessing she won’t be too torn up if her latest venture doesn’t work out the way she’s planned.

In fact, it’s possible that profit isn’t even Barney’s main concern. Tamra is a self-described “sexual freak,” and it’s a reputation that she seems to value highly.

Releasing a fake sex tape is the second-best way to convince people that you like to get it on. The best way, of course, is to release an actual sex tape.
