14 DAY TRIAL // From the look of things, “Love & Hip Hop” reality series has found out the best way to increase its ratings. That is to have every member of the cast put out a raunchy tape. After Mimi Faust broke all records with her 9-hour video, a new cast member is reported to be coming out with a similar recording for an adult audience.
MediaTakeOut is claiming that Erica Mena has also recorded a raunchy tape in which she's doing some very “nasty” solo stuff. What's even better (or worse) is that Vivid, the distributor for Mimi's tape, is also interested in this new video too.
And why wouldn't they be, since Mimi's tape has quickly become the most pirated video of this kind in history and has already made the website large sums of money, not to mention brought them a lot of new members, about 15 per minute since the tape was officially launched.
Reports from the source would have us believe that the video in question starring Erica Mena was originally stolen, but now Vivid is getting in on the act and taking the video under its wings to ensure that they have exclusive rights.
Steve Hirsh, the founder of Vivid Entertainment, is quoted as saying “We would love to talk to Erica. We are always looking for hot new celebs and Erica would fit in perfectly,” when he was asked about being in the possession of Mena's video.
Erica is a star from the New York franchise of the show, whereas Mimi was made famous by the Atlanta series. The source indicated that she's doing “all kinds of freaky stuff alone” in the video, which can be translated in more ways than one so let your imagination run wild.
As Erica is going to have to confirm or deny there's a raunchy tape out there with her in it, Mimi Faust and Nikko Smith are said to be making over five million dollars from their tape being sold, which is not bad for a day's work.
MediaTakeOut claims that the numbers previously mentioned, according to which the reality stars were going to get around one hundred thousand dollars are grossly inaccurate, since the couple has signed a “revenue share” with Vivid which basically gives them a share from the sales of their video.
At the rate this is going, 2014 is going to be the year that many reality stars turned to doing the nasty on video just in hopes to make a quick buck and also keep themselves relevant.
