Vivid Entertainment will release
Shauna Sand's sex tape tomorrow after Shauna withdrew her threat of a lawsuit to block its distribution.
Sand's attorney threatened to sue Vivid to block release of the video, which shows her having sex with her ex-boyfriend.
Steven Hirsch, co-chairman of Vivid, said he met with Ms. Sand in his office last Thursday. "We showed her the documents we had received from a third party that were authenticated by a handwriting expert and explained that we remained comfortable that we had the right to distribute the video. Shauna said she wanted to consult with her attorney and would get back to us the following day."
Hirsch said Ms. Sand called him on Friday and agreed not to pursue a lawsuit that could prove to be long and expensive. She told him that she was instructing her attorney to withdraw a cease and desist letter sent to Vivid earlier. "She said she had deliberated over the best course of action and ultimately decided to take over this matter herself and to authorize us to release her statement saying she will, in fact, work with us," he noted.
