MatcomNews Update Scott Stapp Says Sex Tape "Released To Hurt Solo Career"

<snip>

WASHINGTON -- Singer Scott Stapp thinks it's suspicious that a sex video showing him, Kid Rock and a bunch of strippers surfaced just days after he got married.

"Obviously someone wants to hurt me and doesn't want me to be successful in my solo career," Stapp told AP Radio in a recent interview.

Stapp admitted that the tape was made in 1999, after he was divorced.

He said he was young and immature and figured he was supposed to experience the rock 'n' roll lifestyle, but he said he wishes he had burned that tape.

Stapp maintains it was stolen.

The singer was lucky in one respect. He had told his new wife about six or eight months ago that he had a wild year with some questionable behavior.

Stapp said she told him, "That's your past. Whatever. I love you for you now."

Stapp said he can't say it's laughable, but there is an awful lot of bad stuff that has been happening to him lately.

It's so much that he thinks, "Somebody does not like you, and somebody wants you to fail."

Stapp and Kid Rock have gone to court to prevent the World Wide Red Light District company from selling the video.

Meanwhile, Red Light District lawyer Peter Falkenstein said the video was not stolen and it was always in the possession of the videographer, whom he does not name.

where it that Puke smiley when you need it? :)

If anything, the sex tape has probably rescued him from total oblivion.

And the timing of this latest press release looks a bit off, coming as it does just as people are beginning to forget about the tape. I think I could be forgiven for suspecting that he released it himself.

At least, that's what I understand from his "Creed" days. I also understand that he's a foul-mouthed, sodden jerkoff (guess that part of his persona was "less than commercially viable" during his time in Creed).
