00:00The daughter of Oscar-nominated actor Laurence Fishburne has been making tabloid headlines
00:05for all the wrong reasons.
00:07From a controversial adult tape to assorted legal woes, Montana Fishburne's admitted aspirations
00:12for Kim Kardashian-style success have turned tragic instead.
00:16Let's take a closer look.
00:19When Montana made headlines in 2010 for breaking into the entertainment industry, it probably
00:24wasn't what her Oscar-nominated dad had in mind.
00:26Montana told The Hollywood Reporter,
00:28"...after I turned 18, I started to seriously think about the best way for me to enter
00:32the business.
00:33I was impressed with Kim Kardashian's success after her tape was released by Vivid and decided
00:37to call a company to see if I could arrange a meeting."
00:40The result was a video called Montana Fishburne in A-List Daughter Makes Her XXX Debut.
00:46Over the years, Kardashian has said that she regrets her sex tape.
00:49"...I'm definitely not grateful for that experience.
00:51I would say if I had one regret, that would be it."
00:54But Montana is proud of hers.
00:56She told People,
00:57"...being in an adult film is not a big deal to me.
00:59It's something I always wanted to do.
01:01I have always been comfortable in my body and with my sexuality."
01:05Montana was comfortable with her choice, but she told The Hollywood Reporter that her parents
01:08felt differently.
01:09Her father reportedly told her he was embarrassed by her, and her mother didn't want her to,
01:14quote,
01:15"...get dragged into the dark side of porn."
01:17Montana told People,
01:18"...essentially, I hope my father will be proud of me."
01:20"...we are two separate people, and I think because he's had such a long, successful career,
01:26and he is so respected, my actions should have nothing to do with him."
01:30According to TMZ, Montana was charged with battery because she allegedly, quote,
01:35"...beat the hell out of her boyfriend's ex in 2010."
01:38E! News reported that Montana was arrested for breaking into the victim's home and beating
01:42her up.
01:43According to Today, Montana was represented by celebrity attorney Sean Hawley, who has
01:47overseen cases for Lindsay Lohan, Justin Bieber, and Kanye West.
01:51She pleaded no contests to assault with a deadly weapon and trespassing.
01:55She was reportedly ordered to pay $9,000 in restitution to the victim, placed on three
01:59years' probation, and sentenced to 90 days in jail.
02:03Sadly, Montana's filmography also includes a DUI arrest video.
02:08According to the Miami Herald, she was pulled over in March 2017 in Fort Lauderdale,
02:13Florida, after she allegedly rear-ended a vehicle that had slowed down to avoid a previous crash.
02:19After Florida Highway Patrol arrived to the scene, Montana hopped the interstate's guard
02:23rail to pop a squat as traffic whizzed by.
02:26The Miami Herald reported that Montana blew more than twice Florida's legal limit in a
02:31breathalyzer test.
02:32She never dropped her famous dad's name, but she did try to work her charm, reportedly telling
02:36the trooper,
02:37Honestly, I'm more upset about not being able to spend the night in my bed, can't you just
02:41escort me home?
02:43Laurence Fishburne has a signature cadence that speaks volumes on screen, but when it
02:48comes to Montana, he's often at a loss for words.
02:51In an interview with Hip Hollywood, the star dodged questions about his daughter's lifestyle.
02:55I don't know, I don't know, I haven't heard.
02:57Montana told TMZ that her famous father wasn't interested in talking to her, either.
03:06She claimed he told her,
03:07I'm not going to speak with you till you turn your life around.
03:10Regarding her adult tape, he allegedly told her,
03:12You used your last name.
03:14No one uses their real name in porn.
03:17Some of Laurence's acting peers have lent their support to his family, including Cedric
03:21the Entertainer.
03:22It's unfortunate, you know what I'm saying, because you want your children, you only want
03:26the best for them, you don't want them to identify with, you know, just their sexuality.
03:32Terry Crews has high hopes for Montana's future, despite her past career choices.
03:36According to Vibe, he said,
03:37I'm not going to say it's not a bad thing, because it is, and I'm sure it's breaking Laurence's
03:42heart.
03:43But the thing is, Montana's life is not over and this story is not done.
03:47God has a plan.
03:48Whatever the devil is trying to destroy her with, I know for a fact that anything can be turned
03:52around.
03:53Anything.
03:54Though Montana's past is riddled with controversial circumstances that some would consider tragic,
03:58hopefully Crews is right, and positive developments are in store for Laurence Fishburne's daughter.
