Some of you might have heard about a fight between Sasha Grey and Howard Stern. It all started with Rolling Stone’s profile of Sasha, which had her calling the shock jock a racist.
(Specifically: “While most porn actresses would jump at the chance to get naked on the Howard Stern Show, Sasha wants to appear on the shock jock’s program with a Palestinian flag wrapped around her breasts to confront the man she believes is a closet racist.”)
Not surprisingly, Howard Stern’s show picked up on the tidbit, and ran the item on yesterday’s show. And now Sasha’s firing back… to say that the whole thing was a joke.
From her Twitter: “My H Stern comment is a joke he grew up in a black neighborhood & extremists don’t support lib. women’s rights I can make fun of myself too!”
Lesson learned? Don’t believe everything you read in Rolling Stone. Or at least don’t take it at face value. (Now, on the other hand, if we report that someone’s called someone a racist…)
