Co-chairman Steven Hirsch of Vivid Entertainment was reported to be in discussion with Sydney Leathers, 23, for a flick of her e-fling with a politician. Leathers was the woman who was sexting with mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner.
Leathers and Hirsch met Monday and may strike a deal "in the next few days," according to a company source as reported by the Daily News. "He offered Sydney an opportunity to make a parody movie enacting the sexting events as they happened," the source added.
On the one hand, Weiner vowed to overcome the scandal and said, "Quit isn't the way we roll in New York City." However, for his former paramour, the scandal has just placed an opportunity at her lap. When asked about how far she would go for the flick, Leathers said, "We'll see what happens."
Vivid Entertainment was a "leading purveyor of pornographic videos", according to Reuters. The business was estimated to generate up to US$100 million per year.
Meanwhile, the adult industry was estimated to earn US$12.6 billion annually, according to the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corp. However, in recent years, the estimates increased to $8 billion to $13 billion.
