First reported by Gawker.com, and leaked by an unknown source, the 12-minute sex tape shows the apparently inebriated threesome (Gayheart says she needs to lay down because she’s so high) frolicking in Peniche’s apartment discussing what their porn names would be. Dane’s: Tuff Hedemen.
The girls disrobe and jump into the Jacuzzi, passing the camera to Dane to keep filming. The edited video on Gawker shows Gayheart and Peniche topless.
A source told Gawker that former Miss Teen USA turned Playboy model Peniche was working as a Hollywood madam and it was the Hollywood Vice Squad that got a hold of Peniche’s client list and this sex tape that she had subsequently been showing to friends.
Celebrity sex tape broker Kevin Blatt doesn’t know who leaked the footage, but he hypothesized their motive.
“It's a real shame this tape leaked the way it did,” Blatt told XBIZ. “I believe it was someone who wanted to get even with Rebecca. Releasing this tape with no ability to profit from it is the sign of a junkie.”
According to TMZ.com, Dane and Gayheart have retained the services of noted Hollywood lawyer Marty Singer to prosecute sites that publish the leaked footage. TMZ reports that Peniche denied to Singer that she was the one that leaked the video.
"From what I've seen it's a naked tape, not a sex tape." Singer told the Hollywood gossip site. "At most it's three people maybe wanting to have sex."
Dane is famous for playing Dr. Mark “McSteamy” Sloan on ABC’s hit medical drama “Grey’s Anatomy.” He married former beauty queen Gayheart in 2004. She was the former face of Noxema and has since acted in a variety of movies and television shows. Peniche most recently was cast in “Sex Rehab With Dr. Drew” airing on VH1 in the fall.
