On August 4th, 2010, Mary Jo Buttafuoco contacted journalist Nicole LaPorte, of The Daily Beast, in order to respond to a recent article about Amy Fisher’s career move to porn.

She signed a 4 movie deal with Dream Zone Entertainment. Her first film is called “The Making Of Amy Fisher”.
According to the article “Amy Fisher Kicked Me Off Her Porn Shoot” on TheDailyBeast.com, LaPorte had brought up Fisher’s past concerning Joey and Mary Jo Buttafuoco. Fisher responded with: “People bust my chops all day long. People like you come in and torture me. That’s it. You know, everybody screws up in their life. I was a kid. What can I say?”
Fisher quickly ended the interview at that point to go relax. After an hour Jay Shanahan, the film’s director, told LaPorte she had made Fisher “uncomfortable,” and that she would like her to leave before the shoot began.
Fortunately for The Daily Beast, Mary Jo Buttafuoco read this article and decided to respond. Apparently, Fisher’s question “What can I say,” struck a nerve as Mary Jo reached out to LaPorte and claims Fisher should say “I’m sorry”. Yet, Mary Jo states she has already publicly forgiven Fisher. So why respond in the first place?
In a follow up article “Mary Jo Buttafuoco Talks Back!” written by LaPorte, reveals Mary Jo’s true motive as she states how outraged she is that Fisher is doing porn. Mary Jo believes once Fisher gave birth her life is no longer hers, it is her children’s. This article is obviously a response about morals and a little ego as the closing statement by Mary Jo insists:
“Amy hates herself. What this is, is self-loathing. She can not forgive herself for what she did to me. And that’s sad. As a result of that, she’s gotten into this hostile environment.”
Claims like these try to put the adult industry in a negative light. Whether people get involved in pornography for the money or have some deep-seated psychological defect, it doesn’t mean that is the complete adult industry talent pool. The fact is that well-adjusted, stable people get into porn everyday as a choice… and isn’t this the country of choice?
