Reports of a sex tape purportedly featuring Lindsay Lohan and her ex-boyfriend Calum Best have been denied by representatives for both individuals. The alleged video surfaced online, leading to claims that Best was responsible for its distribution.
Denials from Both Parties
A video reportedly showing Lindsay Lohan performing a sex act on Calum Best appeared on the internet on Thursday. However, both Lohan and Best have reportedly denied their presence in the tape.
Lohan's representative's office informed FOXNews.com that no statement was available at the time. A representative for Best told Us Weekly magazine that the individual in the tape was not him. The representative for Best also told Usmagazine.com, "Sorry to disappoint you, but it's not Calum in the tape." This statement was also reported by WENN and Digital Spy.
Lohan is reportedly telling acquaintances that the woman in the film is not her. However, one individual told the New York Post's Page Six gossip column that "privately, nobody believes her. It is her."
A British tabloid, The Sun, claimed that Best, the son of soccer legend George Best, leaked the footage to "close friends," who then posted it online. A spokesman for Best told U.K.'s The Sun, "It is definitely not Calum."
The alleged sex tape featuring the former couple was described as a hoax by a representative for Lindsay Lohan's ex-boyfriend, Irish model Calum Best, according to the San Francisco Chronicle's Daily Dish! blog.
History of Filming Intimate Acts
Calum Best, a model and the son of English soccer star George Best, has a documented history of filming women during intimate acts. In May of the previous year, Britain's Sun newspaper reported that Best, while socializing with two prostitutes, "used his mobile phone to film a girl pleasuring."
When the video of these actions was leaked and The Sun confronted Best, he admitted, "I've been stupid. I regret it all."
Details of the Alleged Footage
Grainy photographs of a young woman vaguely resembling Lohan were posted online this week, leading to reports that Best had leaked a sex tape. A grainy picture, purported to be a screen grab from a steamy home video, circulated on the web this week.
Hollywood Scoop referred to the incident as "another day, another sex-tape hoax." PopSugar, a celebrity blog, noted that if the tape was as "grainy" as this one, it would be difficult to confirm if it was Lohan. The Defamer blog, Australia edition, commented on the poor quality, stating it was "impossible to say whether this is Lohan, or what the person or persons in this short clip is or are doing."
Relationship Timeline
Lohan and Best, a British model, dated in 2007. They dated briefly in 2007. They split amidst rumors that Best considered Lohan to be "dull" after she spent time in rehab.
