BUDAPEST, Hungary—Zoltan Kabai, the head of a regional chapter of Hungary’s “right-wing populist” political party, Jobbik, has resigned his position with the party following the revelation that he also is Zoltan Cowboy, an adult performer whose career began in the early '90s.
According to politics.hu, “Local porn producer István ‘Kovi’ Kovács revealed in an upcoming autobiography that Jobbik politician Zoltán Kabai was one of his main male talents for approximately ten years in the 1990s.”
According to iafd.com, Kabai, who has used at least 10 aliases during his porn career, last appeared in an adult video in 2009, in non-sex roles in Tunnel Butts 2 and 3, which were distributed by Jules Jordan Video. His last listed sex role was in 2007, for Young Harlots: The Governess, distributed by Harmony Films. In total, he is credited with appearing in over 80 adult productions.
Kabai is reportedly upset with being outed as a porn star, and has threatened legal action against Kovács. But his protestations ring somewhat hollow considering the spin he is putting on his career.
“Kabai did not deny starring in adult films earlier in his life, but said that was nearly twenty years ago and that he was considering legal action as the news of Kovács’s upcoming book caused ‘family problems’ for him, which we assume means he probably wasn’t entirely honest with his missus about the jobs on his résumé,” reported politics.hu, which added that Jobbik has publicly supported Kabai following the revelations.
One reason for the support may be that Kabai is not the first Jobbik member to have performed in porn… or the second. According to Business Insider, “It was revealed last year that a former party member, Vivian Katona (aka Honey Lovely), was also in the business of making adult movies. And, if that wasn't enough, Katona's resignation followed weeks after a member of the party's paramilitary wing, the Hungarian Guard, was also a porn actress. Nikolett Muller, who also resigned, had appeared in 150 adult films.”
Business Insider noted that the incident is embarrassing given the party’s stance as a bastion of Christian family values, but that claim rings hollow as well. Jobbik’s far right reactionary positions on nationalism, immigration, crime and, of course, Israel, without doubt trump any demands they make of their members to behave like true Christians. But you don’t have to travel to Hungary to find that level of political or sexual hypocrisy, now, do you?
Still, one does wonder if there is something about Hungarian culture that draws their former porn stars into the far right wing orbit, though who knows? Maybe here in the States we also have a number of porn stars who proudly carry the banner of the Posse Comitatus.
