Meg White sex tape hits the Internet
UPDATE The White Stripes say it is not Meg in the tape.

I'd rather not report on this. I feel even worse knowing that the sex tape (link removed) is what might be causing Meg White's ''acute anxiety'. But the Internet is what it is, and if I don't post about it, it will be in the comments anyway - and it will be what everyone is talking about today one way or another (update: it is of course also possible that the tape is not even really her), so consider this the BrooklynVegan forum for talking about it, but please be nice....

And thus the end of one of the best bands of the past 10 years comes to a very awkward close.

you know, rarely do I feel the need to post a comment anywhere, on any website, but I need to speak up here. What you posted up on here is speculation. That is some Perez Hilton bullshit right there. Your giving in to your most base impulses here. What, cause some jerk off posts on a message board that that woman in that video is Meg White, you come out and report it on your site? And your excuse is that everyone is going to be talking about it anyways?
Fuck that. I am no great lover of the White Stripes, or Meg White in particular. I do happen to like reading this site though, and I think you could have set your sites a lot higher. Why don't you wait and try to find out if that is really her first?
I guess all I have to say is, bad form.

chill out yoni, lets all discuss this rationally. it is clearly her and this isn't nearly as bad as the other blogs on which is has been encountered.

Having viewed the video (for the sake of journalistic purposes - wink wink) I don't think it's Meg in the video. I mean, have you ever seen Meg's teeth? She very rarely shows her teeth when smiling and there is good reason for that. The woman in the video doesn't seem to have a monster mouth which makes me believe that it's not Meg.

This is hardly the end of the band. If R. Kelly can get away with pissing on an underage girl, Meg White can bounce back from this. It's not like she has a fan base that is going to be morally outraged.
Also, Isaac Brock's a rapist and his career is going great.

obviously the band can survive and thrive -- but considering how Jack keeps all things personal under tight wraps, I dont think this will go over well for him -- will this cause him to refocus/shake things up? -- it has already caused him to the cancel a lot of their tour --
i mean there is already a new raconteurs record in the can -- so that will be his next thing

Isaac Brock is not a rapist. That was an unfounded allegation by the Seattle alt-weekly The Stranger, that the later retracted. Isaac was kind enough not to sue them for libel.

Hey, BV, for the love of god, next time you link to a porn site, would you mind letting us know it isn't work safe first?!? Yes, you did type the words "sex tape" for the link, but I doubt I'm the only one who thought this was a link to an ARTICLE about it, not the actual video itself. So, if my HR department happens to give me a tap on the shoulder today, well, I guess I have you to thank....

Posted by Capt Rock | September 24, 2007 11:25 AM
i really think it is incredibly distasteful that you posted this. i thought you considered yourself a lover and reporter of music. not TRASH and something that is completely disrespectful. even if it isnt meg- it is awful awful gossip and exposure for someone who is incredibly talented and incredibly private. for shame. wasnt there something else you could have posted? seriously.

1. You're an idiot if you didn't think the link would be the sex tape.
2. You're more of an idiot if you don't think it's Meg White, particularly on the heels of the tour cancellation.
3. And you're a fucking moron if you attack BV for putting up something that is clearly of interest, even if only limited, to the music community.

I won't bother coming back here to read your blog anytime soon. stick to gorilla vs bear and other outlets that actually report on music,not crappy gossip bs.
Posted by sad that BV posted this. | September 24, 2007 11:44 AM
yea, I'm sure Meg is going to be completely hearbroken that BV posted a link to the video that every other blog is also posting.
All of you whiners give it a rest. They're the most popular band on the planet right now, of course something like this is of interest to a handful of people, particularly considering the mysterious cancellation of the tour.
Get over it.
Posted by nick | September 24, 2007 11:44 AM
if it is her, im just disappointed that she got into the situation in the first place, this sucks for everyone...but regardless, why would anyone be surprised that BV reports this garbage, I read this blog every now and then because it's like staring at the car accident of what art and music has become in a scene based on anything BUT genuine talent and creativity. Half the bands on here don't deserve any attention, the other half don't need it from a blog like this. how disappointing to continually watch this slime slip deeper down the drain.

BV, your point is taken, but you're still the one curating this site. if you'd "rather not report on this" just don't.
Posted by janelle | September 24, 2007 11:52 AM
Um, longtime listener, first time caller. I've been in and out of this site for sometime now and you've shared some pretty cool shit. Thank you.
I am also a fan of Jack and Meg's work. So, when I read this post, I was like "Sweet." Meg's hawt in her own little strange way. If it isn't her in the video I must say 'good porn' anyway.
And whoever the chode that wrote: "And thus the end of one of the best bands of the past 10 years comes to a very awkward close." What a f*ckin' dork.
Yea, bad sex caught on tape always ruins a rock bands persona.
"Human beings can always be relied upon to exert, with vigor, their god given right to be stupid."

If someone can find a photo of Meg White wearing the same necklace that the woman in the video is wearing, then I'm more likely to believe it's her. For the time being, however, I have my doubts.

I agree, a NSFW designation would have been helpful ... i got a huge red flag when i tried to access what i thought would be an article ... as for those who think the posting was clearly a video, you're dead wrong. and you need to realize not all BV readers work in design or making coffee or whatever slacker jobs spoiled 20-something indie pipsqueaks are working at these days ... some companies actually take porn surfing pretty seriously ...
Posted by EL | September 24, 2007 12:52 PM
I don't think it's her either...
The girl here is too young to be Meg in the last 5 years at least and her face is too cute. Meg is more sultry...
But most importantly, she didn't kill the guy at the end as Meg does in all my fantasies!

I only watched the first 30 sec or so of this video, but I'm confused: is there anything scandalous about this tape except for that she is having consensual sex with someone? This is SO not the same thing as peeing on children!
Posted by Anonymous | September 24, 2007 1:09 PM
I find it pretty unbelievable that people are shocked that a link that says "sex tape" would link to a sex tape. Seems pretty intuitive.
First thing I did was check the link at the bottom of the page when I ran my mouse over it. Saw it was a movie file and not a web page and didn't click. Though I probably wouldn't have clicked anyway seeing as it was a link to a page that said "sex tape" and was thus probably likely to have something besides safe for work text commentary and analysis of said sex tape.

Give me a break with all this integrity bullshit. Are people really offended that BV posted this? Should other potentially offensive music stories be censored? If so, where is the line drawn on what should/should not be reported? If nothing else, did he not provide a forum so that people could determine that it's (hopefully) not actually her in the video? If anything, that's helping her cause.
Either way, I appreciate being updated on relevant music news and allowing this blog to be a forum for debate. Keep up the good work.

People have sex.
It's not her btw. If it is, it was years ago.
Videotaping sex is the same thing as asking your partner if it was good for him/her. The tape doesn't prove anything and if you have to ask you'll never know.

If BV hadn't posted this, it wouldn't have been censorship, it would've been discretion. Censorship would be BV (or anyone) preventing other Web sites from posting it.

To the people asking why would they cancel the door if it isn't her: well, no one was saying they cancelled the tour because of a sex tape until today, so all those other reasons (exhaustion, drugs, "acute anxiety") could still apply. To BV, I think its fine to post this, but I think its really lame to:
a) qualify it with the whole "oh, how i wish i didn't have to do this, but golly jeez, i just must" bullshit. post or don't and man up.
b) post it when it was obviously unclear if it was meg. if it was meg, then fine, but this site shouldn't be for rumors (unless its of the "i hear the white stripes are going to play a secret show and i'll keep you updated" variety)

i wonder what the girl who this really is is thinking of all this?

what's with everyone talking about how good looking Meg White is? (I'm looking at you Pitchfork) Meg White is and always has been a snaggle-toothed beast. You may think she's "cute" cause she's a girl who plays the drums despite having no talent, but that does not a beautiful woman make. It's just genetics.

it's not her. why would Meg White be wearing a necklace with the letter "D" as the charm? doesn't really look like her anyway. and there is no photo of her whatsoever out there that has her wearing said necklace. nor is there really any of her wearing a necklace at all.

it's really the girl from this band:

Anyone paying attention whatsoever would know that this is just some look-a-like. When "celebrity" sex tapes surface, it invariably involves someone either shaking down the celebrity for money (ie. Cameron Diaz), or someone selling it on the web (ie. Paris, etc, etc). The "other person" is usually an ex-boyfriend, readily identifiable, and often the purveyor of the video.
The videos that "just surface" are look-a-likes, and there's no other evidence that the person is the celebrity named -- this has happened, oh, about 500 times, the most famous being the "Brittney sex tape".
It obviously isn't Meg, its some look-a-like screwing someone in a college dorm room.

The necklace is a "D" for drummer.
Or "D" for Detriot.
Or "D" for December, month she was born.
It should, however, mean "Diet" because if this is her, she deffinitely needs to go on one.

D is for D-cups

you can see her teeth in the video and meg has HORRIBLE teeth. this is not meg. look for pictures with her teeth and you can see for yourself.
and pitchfork is reporting what is going better than anyone else, all these other sites are making assumptions and barely mentioning the fact that a statement was released.

WONDER WHAT THE MODERN HAS TO SAY ABOUT ALL THIS
Posted by LRG | September 24, 2007 4:59 PM
Pitchfork are a bunch of White Stripes kiss-asses. I wouldn't believe anything they have to say.
Posted by Barry Boner | September 24, 2007 5:28 PM
hum i will say, maybe thats her but only if that tape is like 10 years old.
Posted by Anonymous | September 24, 2007 5:41 PM
major product of the internet? instant gullibility.
absolutely is NOT meg white of the white stripes.
anyone with a minimal amount of sight can see clearly that it isn't her.
too bad.
Posted by Anonymous | September 24, 2007 6:03 PM
Let me add: I do not think it's her at all.

BV used to be a great site, obviously that's not the case any longer
You should be ashamed of yourself

While I have no particular feelings on this being posted (although the excuse for doing so is lame) it is all the people out there being shocked me her body that seems in bad taste. I mean really have you people never seen any naked women outside of porn? I'm not sure if it is her of not but who ever it is she's hot. She has a normal feminine body and, as anyone who has ever done it should know, sex isn't the most glamorous of activities when it isn't staged. I actually understand the curiosity but the lack of comprehension? And thinking you have the right to judge her figure? Even if it is her she's a drummer not a model she doesn't have to "watch" her weight and can have a normal healthy figure - that should be a good thing.

and don't give BV so much crap for falling prey to a feeding frenzy.

People, this is the internet. Everyone relax. As much as this is a rumor, it is clearly one people are interested in, and it certainly has to do with a band that gets covered on this blog quite a bit.
BV doesn't have to cater to anyone. I don't think he had to put a disclaimer on it, but he did. Some may debate whether this is newsworthy or not, but clearly based on the attention this rumor has gotten, it is "newsworthy." Maybe that's unfortunate, but that is the way of the internet.
So, stop hating. If you don't like it or agree with it, then don't read the post. Or don't read the blog. Cause I'm willing to bet that if you knew this rumor was out there, most of you would have gone somewhere else to find it on the internet. So where does that put you? And how does that put you above BV?

anon 2:59 is right. don't qualify what you do. its very weak and has become quite commonplace. the "i really hate but" or the "some people would say" approach boarders on pathetic. there is a case to be made that this should be posted (i think it should. you would post about say, a meg white drug overdose or a meg white arrest). there is a case it shouldn't. but you, bv, must decide. once you decide to post it, just post it. we don't need the internal argument.
Posted by Anonymous | September 24, 2007 6:56 PM
"don't read the blog" is not the answer. people love this site, as they should. they care about it. and the point of comments is to do exactly that, comment. it's totally fair for people to think bv was outta line. i don't think he was, but that's their opinion and not only do they have the right to it, but they are in fact encouraged by the author to express it.
Posted by Anonymous | September 24, 2007 6:59 PM
Shit, I heard this rumor somewhere else & went straight here figuring BV would cover it.
Posted by Anonymous | September 24, 2007 7:15 PM
how does this ruin meg's career when it fueled tommy lee's?
poor taste BV. i'm pretty disappointed.
