Update: On August 16, Pornhub issued the following statement:
After reviewing the latest details of the allegations facing Chad Johnson (formerly Ochocinco), Pornhub.com, (the premier destination for online adult entertainment), has decided to retract its previous offer to Mr. Johnson and his wife, Evelyn Lozada, to star in a “make up” sex tape for a fee of $100,000. Pornhub and its affiliate sites do not endorse any form of mistreatment, whether physical, verbal or emotional, towards women.
LOS ANGELES—Newly out-of-work football star Chad Johnson (nee Ochocino) is looking for his next paycheck after being cut by the Miami Dolphins so Pornhub has stepped in with an interesting offer.
Johnson was cut by the Dolphins yesterday after being arrested over the weekend for allegedly assaulting his reality TV star wife of one month, Evelyn Lozada. The couple's pending VH1 reality show, Ev & Ocho, was shelved due to the incident.
Pornhub enters the fray with an offer for a Johnson/Lozada makeup sex video which will compensate the out-of-work wideout $100,000. A Pornhub representative announced that "we are expecting a response on this from his team shortly."
Johnson has previously tweeted about Pornhub. When asked why someone as rich and famous as himself doesn't drink or party, he responded, "Easy, pornhub and video game consoles are used in doors."
When further pressed, Ochocinco said that Pornhub was "A very interesting site, I get most of my creative ideas from there to keep HER guessing what's next."
The full offer letter from Pornhub to Johnson is below:
Dear Mr. Johnson,
I hope this letter finds you well. First off, we would like to applaud you on the name change - although it's not the one we initially had in mind as you might well remember.
Allow me to get down to the real reason I am reaching out to you on behalf of our company, Pornhub.com (the premier destination for online adult entertainment). Your recent misfortunes have caught our eye, and while we regret to learn about the hard luck that's come your way, we would once again like to lend you a helping hand in your time of need.
In short, we are extending an offer to you and your beautiful wife Evelyn to create a "makeup" sex video exclusively for use on our site. As proof of your participation in the video, we would simply need you to film an introductory scene in which you and your wife state your names and intents for the camera. Once again, we believe that this partnership would truly be beneficial for both parties._
In return for your willingness to cooperate, we will gladly compensate you to the tune of $100,000.
Again, we truly appreciate your consideration of our offer and look forward to the possibility of working together soon.
All the best,
Corey Price
