It turns out Laurence Fishburne may have been bristling at his daughter's career choices for some time now.
Court records obtained by E! News show that Montana Fishburne, who's making her adult-film debut this month in Vivid Entertainment's cleverly titled Montana Fishburne, was arrested last year for alleged prostitution and only avoided jail by signing up for a work-alternative program.
So maybe porn is a step in the right direction.
On March 19, Fishburne pleaded no contest in a Hollywood courtroom to criminal trespass, a misdemeanor, and the court agreed to drop charges of solicitation and loitering in a public area for the purpose of prostitution, according to court documents.
She was sentenced to two years' probation and 15 days in jail, but was able to do community service instead of jail time.
As part of her probation, Fishburne was also ordered to not charge (or attempt to charge) money for sex; have sex in a public place or a place "exposed to public view"; hitchhike or otherwise engage drivers in conversation; and loiter in alleys or public streets "with the intent to solicit acts of prostitution."
Basically, don't go out and be a hooker.
The 19-year-old was also ordered to complete an AIDS-education class and submit to an AIDS test.
A call to Fishburne's attorney of record, Sammy Weiss, was not immediately returned.
Molly will be fine. Megan McCain OTOH. . .
Someone here had posted a youtube video with music and stills of young people who were in the industry that were dead. Heartbreaking. Murdered, suicide, AIDs, disease, dugs, other substance abuse. Many of the men from AIDs.
The “industry” destroys souls. The strip clubs have a lot of organized crime from what I have read and newspaper stories. They get the girls in there, work them like dogs, get em hooked on drugs so they end up making no money then get them doing movies and prostitution.
Fishburne made his debot in Apoc Now at age 16 or younger. He lied about his age. If you watch the movie, Francis had so many problems finishing the movie that it took about 2 years. Fishburne aged as they headed up the river.
Fishburne probably got very wealthy with the rest of the cast on Matrix 1,2,3. Keanau sure did. I bet the daughter wants to be a “star.” IF she is an adult - there is not much he can do.
Sad but being a child of a star is probably no party. A lot end up on drugs, dead or in jail like Michael Douglas kid.
Then I open Free Republic, read this thread without thinking anything of it -- and BAM! -- a picture of Cowboy Curtis!
Weird.
He made his major film debut in Apocalypse Now, at the age of 14.
I’ve always found it kind of amusing that prostitution is illegal, but being a porn star, which basically amounts to doing the same thing in front of a camera, is perfectly legal.
Couldn't that cause an injury?
The more worried the parent is about appearances, the more the kids are messed up. I tell you this from personal experience as the messed up kid.
Technically so are most actors and actresses. I remember picking up that Clark Gable was a male escort and at some point, so was Halle Berry. Look at what they do onscreen.
In this case, not so much something getting bitten, but perhaps a broken hip...
So was oprah
Charleton Heston was a nude artist’s model. Wish I was in that class.
At least she provides a respectable service... the lobbyists and the politicians, not so much.
Oddly I picked up one of those local entertainment papers which have music, clubs and garbage. It was at a sub shop and flipped through it. She was now doing club dates as a stripper. I guess she was too old for movies.
Drudge and FR had a story about the economics of porn now. The free content has killed the business and the “stars” work for nothing now. What the women have to endure is primeval. California is so disgusting and corrupt that they voted down a requirement that condoms be used in movies made in CA. Ca will do anything to destroy manufcaturing jobs but soul destroying porn is a sacred cow.
I call BS. I've seen Halle Berry and you will never convince me that she was ever a male escort.
Oprah was a male escort ? That would explain a lot.
Didn’t you know: prostitution IS legal.
We call it “Congress”. . .
HAHAHAHAAA!!!
Good one! :-)
“Oprah was a male escort ? That would explain a lot.”
What a coincidence! So is Steadman!!!
How weird, each is the other’s beard.
Well, I for one, am sick and damned tired of Montana and her friend Kim Kardashian using me as an object of their personal, sexual edification!
Someone PLEASE! Make them STOP!!
