Christina Aguilera insists she is not the woman in a sexually explicit video posted on the Internet.
Rumors of a “sex tape” featuring the singer have surfaced on the Internet over the past several weeks. The person who made the videotape claims the woman is indeed Aguilera and that he taped her without her knowledge.
Aguilera’s lawyers have threatened legal action against any site hosting the video.
The singer’s camp issued a statement on her official Web site, saying the video posted on pornographic Web sites is a hoax:
“It has recently come to our attention that certain pornographic Web sites are posting sexually explicit photographs and video footage on the Internet fraudulently representing that it is Christina.
“The video clips advertised on the Web sites are of a woman with blonde hair shown only from the back–the person in the video is not Christina. In addition, the person who claims to have taken the video is not, and has never been, associated with Christina or her management.
“Christina’s legal representatives have contacted the Web site hosts, and Christina plans to vigorously pursue all necessary action against the individuals responsible, including, if necessary, initiating criminal proceedings.
“We regret that there are individuals who engage in such fraud with no regard for the injury to Christina’s feelings or reputation.”
