Amy Lindsay has appeared in films such as Erotic Confessions, Carnal Wishes, Secrets of a Chambermaid, and Insatiable Desires. "Had the campaign known of her full filmography, we obviously would not have let her appear in the ad," a Cruz campaign spokesman told BuzzFeed News.
Ted Cruz's campaign has pulled its most recent ad, "Conservatives Anonymous," after learning one of the actresses in the spot is also a softcore porn star.
The ad, which was set at a group therapy session of conservative voters who feel betrayed by Marco Rubio on immigration, featured actress Amy Lindsay, who played a woman telling another group member, "maybe you should vote for more than just a pretty face next time."
Lindsay has appeared in several softcore porn films, including Erotic Confessions, Carnal Wishes, Secrets of a Chambermaid, and Insatiable Desires.
BuzzFeed News, after learning of Lindsay's prior filmography, requested comment from the Cruz campaign. Cruz spokesman Rick Tyler told BuzzFeed News in a statement that the campaign is taking the ad down and replacing it with a different one.
"The actress responded to an open casting call. She passed her audition and got the job. Unfortunately, she was not vetted by the production company. Had the campaign known of her full filmography, we obviously would not have let her appear in the ad," Tyler said.
Prior to the Cruz campaign pulling the ad, Lindsay told BuzzFeed News in a phone interview on Thursday that she's a Christian conservative and a Republican. While she emphasized that she did not do hardcore porn and that she also appeared in non-erotic films, Lindsay said she thinks it is cool that an actress who has appeared in softcore porn could also appear in Cruz's ad.
"In a cool way, then hey, then it's not just some old, white Christian bigot that people want to say, 'It could be, maybe, a cool kind of open-minded woman like me,'" she said of people supporting Cruz.
Though Lindsay initially told BuzzFeed News that the person at the campaign who hired her "absolutely knew everything that I had done," she later called back to say that she realized that was not the case.
"I have clearly talked to the filmmakers and stuff and just to be clear, I assumed that they knew but none of the filmmakers or the casting director knew about my complete filmography in the past that you're talking about, so I was wrong in that statement," Lindsay said, saying that she had assumed that an old friend of hers from an acting class who was present when she was hired was aware of her film history.
Lindsay said she is currently deciding whether to support Cruz or Donald Trump.
“LOL ! oops ..Teddy stepped in it again”
Obviously you have forgotten Melania’s past.
“Obviously you have forgotten Melania’s past.”
She was in a Cruz commercial? Now that’s embarrassing.
She probably used to be one of Trump’s girlfriends.
You brought Trump into it ... what did Trump do that is similar ? Remember, Cruz is the televangelist in this race .. Cruz needs to keep up appearances
So what.......
Canadian transgressions don't count...
I thought it was the Trumpsters that just throw feces around. This thread proves otherwise.
Typical. If Trump would have made this mistake it would have at least been with someone where they actually stick it in.
Cruzimax sounds about right.
What? A girl can’t Moonlight for a little beer or lipstick money?
Who cares ? Cruz has taken up the televangelist mantle , he owns it , so he is beholden to it ... and besides ,Melania is untouchable ...
Sounds like the Face of God got a little red on this one.
+1
We need some pics, and we need Laz on this.
Cruz may have ‘The Face of God’, but it seems he could use a little of the discernment of God.
They shouldn’t have pulled the ad. By making a big deal of it, they allow other people to make a big deal of it. I’m assuming “softcore porn” is nudity without explicit sexual content — in which case every single actress in Hollywood, including the ones stumping for Hill and Bernie, qualify as “softcore porn actresses.”
I’m glad you don’t care. Here’s a nice picture of Melania, a true soft porn goddess.

Cruzemania can be cured.

So, Google search just told me that Melania was once a lesbian porn star? Maybe that explains the Donald’s grossly over-extended golden comb-over....? ;-)
