The Stripes may have canceled their tour due to Meg’s “acute anxiety,” but it looks like maybe she’s found some ways of relieving it. Of course, when we asked y’all for suggestions about what could’ve caused the duress, we had no idea of a pending (and perhaps involuntary) release of a home sex tape — um, precisely the sort of thing that could fuck with one’s nerves. NSFW screengrab awaits…
The office is split on whether or not this is actually Meg. Could be? Watch here. In any case, the room’s kinda silent, so feel free to use maybe-Meg and partner as metronome and shout out Stripes tunes to soundtrack the fun (“Your Southern Can is Mine”? “When I Hear My Name”?). Too bad she has to keep time with such a small drumstick.

Subject: Regarding your recent Meg White post
Dear Stereogum,
I’m surprised that you would run something like this.
Some people have a very twisted sense of humor and this prank is in
particularly bad taste. The tape circulating on the internet as featuring
Meg White is fake. It?s definitely not Meg.

Hahaha.
Jesus Christ!
ugh?
Woah! Link NSFW! Link NSFW!
yes, i have been waiting sooo long for this moment. And its finally here!!!
that’s totally not her.
1- it’s blurry a bit
2- meg is not that young looking, in fact she looks haggard now, That girl looks way too young to be meg unless this sex tape is ten years old.
3- that girl is a bit too tan and has a bit of healthy color to her. The White Stripes are a sickly zombie pale white and aren’t even considered human but vampires in some parts of the world.
so unless this is a ten year old sex tape which Meg would have been having sex with jack white instead of fat guy x then I call bullshit and this tape is bogus.
wait a minute.. a link to a sex tape is NSFW?? WHY DIDN’T ANYBODY TELL ME THAT WHEN I CLICKED ON A LINK FOR A SEX TAPE, I’D SEE A TAPE OF PEOPLE HAVING SEX?
Shitgum is bogus. Even if the tape is real. This joke of a site jumps at the chance to host smut of (very) questionable authenticity, while claiming to be about artists and music. And while this is really sad on Shutgum’s part, it’s not a new low. Just par….
Bad move on the part of Stereogum for posting this story and link to the video. I don’t come here for wholesome discourse, but this is pretty sleazy all around. Shame shame.
this blog is for sleazy losers
wow, i was wondering if you’d actually post on this. i haven’t watched the tape but about a week ago my roommate walked into the kitchen with a traumatized look on his face after watching this. i thought something horrific had happened.
Couldn’t have put it better than T-Bone. It annoys me when people comment on the quality of your music-related posts. However, posting tabloid fodder, ‘specially about Meg White, ain’t cool.
I’m telling my mommy………fucking nerds.
“The Stripes may have canceled their tour DO to Meg’s …”
Umm, not to be a grammar nazi, but I think you were looking for “DUE”. My eyes bleed when I see that kind of mistake. Agreed with the above; show some taste Stereogum. Pretty shitty move.
INTRANETS BACKLASHHHH
There’s a difference between “telling mommy” bullshit, and calling someone out for bad taste. This story is posted bad fucking taste.
Touché.

Grow up Stereogum.
Don’t give in to the conservative right Stereogum!
Oh shut up all you naysayers, there are a lot more things you could be commenting on in the world than a post on a music blog.
Well, it’s obviously most definitely not her, but I appreciate the post if only to get under the collective skin of the prudes, who are the very people that should be subjected to porn.
Prudes, if you didn’t want to see it, you wouldn’t have clicked the NSFW link. Now go wash your hands and we won’t tell mom.
I agree that SG shouldn’t be linking to NSFW vids…
But anyway, how many tour cancellations due to “anxiety” or similar reasons do you know that NOT drug related?
Well, Stereogum can do whatever they want I guess, just as long as they’re okay with the consequences: drawing in teenage boys looking to get off watching a rock star, losing the “prudes” or “conservative rights” that are according to some of you, the only ones that should be offended by this. But if they don’t recognize that there is a considerable crowd of “prudes” that frequent their site for the music, well, that’s a shame.

I don’t think anyone sounds like a prude. And no one said they didn’t wish to see it(except for obvious NSFW guy). It’s just that when I want to hear about music I check out music sites. When I want porn I go to porn sites.
But it’s OK. Shitgum has more creditbility than any other porn site in the music biz.
sorry for the dupe
Show some respect. That is clearly not Meg. Shame on you.
Dear Stereogum,
On behalf of SG reader Chase and friends, please don’t post anymore mp3s with the words “fuck,” “shit,” “cunt,” “motherfucker,” “asshole,” “cock,” “bitch,” or……”fellatio” in them. Further, please refrain from posting on albums with said dirty words contained therein, or with album cover art that may or may not symbolize a vagina, or photos apparently containing Kevin Barnes’ penis. The full force of the prude nation is directly linked to our power as consumers, so don’t make us use it by boycotting your free site. You’ve been warned.
Haters: you do sound like prudes. If you don’t want to watch the video, don’t click the link. Just move on to the next post, morons.
Dégeulasse…. you are stupid to publish that!
C’mon, guys… That obviously isn’t Meg – and even if it was – and even if you had to run the story – Was the screen cap & link really necessary? I’m not being prudish, I just think it’s more than a little sensationalistic. Feel the same way about p4k’s Of Montreal dick photos. And any mention of Deerhunter. Ever. That shit’s just uncalled for.
Most people now think this is a fake (click my name for the link)
It must not be so wrong to post such a story/video if so many people are reading and watching. Stereogum can post whatever they want; they’re (sort of) just reporting what’s going on in the music world. As for the no NSFW warning. Why don’t you people actually work and stop clinking on links about SEX TAPES.
That’s Natasha Nice, not Meg White.
Look at dem titties jiggle!!!
If it was Meg White, wouldn’t she have eaten him afterwards? Just goin’ by what I’ve heard ’round the ol’ watercooler.
Mellow Out! have any of you hating on this story actually ever had sex, or are you too busy on here beating off to pictures of arcade fire and dan deacon?
This just in…
“Prudish Readers of Stereogum cancel their tour of the site due to acute anxiety over seeing Meg White getting plowed”.
that’s defintately way too tan to be meg.

Jimbob- is this site free? There are an awful lot of banner ads floating around on the page– and since when is not appreciating home-made, maybe stolen video-footage of two people having sex prudish?
First of all, there is no man in the world who doesn’t like porn. Especially, you stupid undersexed indie kids who obsess over music. Rock and porn are a great deal, so why not. Now there may be some consequences to SG but that is neither here nor there. If you don’t want to watch the video, then don’t click on it. Screw you prudes!!
Since forever, Chase, that’s when.
Now run along..aren’t you due at a Romney rally somewhere?
you are not a prude if you think a music blog’s writers and readers are pathetic sex deprived losers who have to be sleaze balls about any half decent (which is all any of them are) “indie rock” girl.
Definitely not her. She looks similar, but there are certain shots in which you can absolutely tell it’s not Meg. I can see where the mistake would be made, though.
That is SO NOT Meg. I have seen her change before, not nude or anything but bra and undies at a Stripes photo shoot I worked on, and her stomach doesn’t look like that.
Shitgum is bogus. Even if the tape is real. This joke of a site jumps at the chance to host smut of (very) questionable authenticity, while claiming to be about artists and music. And while this is really sad on Shutgum’s part, it’s not a new low. Just par….

you people whine too fucking much. get over it. move on with life… seriously…wow.
Way to shit where you eat.
‘Icky Thump’ is right!
Hey Mrs Featherbottom,
Should we expect another repost of this (since you seem to think is so funny) anytime soon? It’s already been 20 minutes. Hurry up! Repost!
all the white stripes fans from whatever e-rock they live under have come to defend meg like some heroic and valiant e-statement.
You remember the shape of meg’s stomach veronica? I cant remember what i had for dinner last night.
It might be meg, it might not. The video is cut from the main page so its your responsibility to make a choice if you wish to view it (that can be hard for white stripes fans to think for themselves).

doesn’t the ‘gum have the same sources as pitchfork?
http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/page/news/45845-sex-tape-definitely-not-meg-white
it was fun while it lasted, tho…
Scooped by TMZ. How embarassing for y’all. Just take the rest of the day off. There’s always tomorrow:
-The Internet’s a-blazin’ this morning with reports of a sex tape featuring Meg White of the White Stripes.
TMZ did a little investigating, and we’ve learned it’s most definitely NOT her in the tape. Fell in love with a girl!
Meg’s rep tells TMZ, “Some people have a very twisted sense of humor and this prank is in particularly bad taste. The tape circulating on the Internet as featuring Meg White is fake. It’s definitely not Meg.”
Don’t fret … she’s the same girl you’ve always known.
It’s not Meg. That girl actually has some rhythm.
Wow, the fanboys really came out on this one. The statement on Pitchfork is from her publicist. Yeah, like he doesn’t have a reason to deny. That’s Meg, kids, stop hating on the messenger just cuz you don’t like the message. I know you wish that was you in that video with Meg.
It is defiintively a fake!!!!!

No mention of Meg White.
Am I the only one who was hoping stereogum had put this up?!
to all the people acting all morally upright and outraged: i doubt you would be this upset if it was a video of say, jenna jameson getting plowed from behind. you can’t pick and choose your battles with stuff like this. and it’s not being morally reprehensible if you look at the video. it’s being a guy (or a lesbian. that’s cool too.)
now if you’ll excuse me, i have an intimate encounter with a photo of dan deacon awaiting me in the bathroom…
not a great move for st:/
lost a reader. proof is in your print, my friends. you just knocked yourself down a notch.
mag and bone(r)
her teeth look too nice to be meg
I know that you’re just a blog, and the concept of journalistic integrity isn’t really something that applies.
But running a story that is best paraphrased as “check out this sex tape that might, or might not, be a certain rock star” is just pathetic.
Is the revenue from your blog ads so low you have to resort to cheap gimmicks like this or are Pitchfork and BrooklynVegan stealing too many eyes from your advertisers? Maybe you’ve just spent too much time watching Fox News and reading the Enquirer & Us Weekly that utter crap of this caliber comes second nature to you. The “We report, you decide!” parallel is uncanny.
I’m simply amazed at how fucking low you sunk.
Holy crap you people need to chill out.
Stereogum doesn’t make news. Shit, they don’t even really report it. Nor does most blogs.
They just post shit for you to read at work.
I don’t understand how not mentioning this item is the equivalent of taking a moral stance? It’s getting people talking = page hits = ad revenue = Stereogum stays in business.
It’s a bizness, mannnnn.
And if you’re going to take a stance against Stereogum for posting it, might as well boycott BrooklynVegan, Pitchfork, etc.
God, I guess I’m the only one who found this hilarious.
And the only one who thought, “Okay, awesome, when is this going to happen with Britt Daniel?”
Really people, if you don’t like it, you don’t have to read/watch it. They don’t have to tailor the blog to what you personally would and wouldn’t like to see. See that little arrow up there on the toolbar pointing backwards? It’s called the back button. Feel free to use it if you don’t like something. Seems to me like that would be a hell of a lot quicker than writing a pointless diatribe ripping the blog.
6.7
Has its moments, but too derivative of the Scott Stapp release.
I’m pleased to see the backlash of comments against Stereogum for posting this.
To rape somebody’s reputation on nothing more than a hunch and rumor is just morally horrific. And the fact that Meg White has given so much to web sites like this one, only makes the exploitation that much more grotesque.
Stereogum owes Meg White an apology.
What’s happening to our world?
From: Featherbottom
To: Stereogum
YOUR BLOG IS A JOKE.
But obviously I love it because I comment on it all day long! Toodles!
Honestly readers, calm down. it’s not the end of the world. It’s getting to the point where i don’t even need to read the articles. I mean I still read the articles, and I like them, but it’s you pretentious hipster fucks that are the real entertainment. I read your comments in most cases just to laugh at how sad you are. I mean there’s some people who aren’t annoying and heavily opinionated, and I’m assuming those people are on the same lines as me with this statement. I mean, it’s the fucking internet. It’s not church, and it’s certainly not your fucking Christian grandma’s house. If you want to read straight facts, go to the library. As for me, I’m going to keep reading Stereogum, and I think anyone who isn’t going to based on one post is a dumb cunt and deserves to to have their soul eaten by Meg white after she fucks you in her next sex tape.
Jack White’s gonna get chu!!!
I like Stereogum. Apparently, I just hate the people that read it…
Chill out. All of you bitching and moaning probably watch television networks that host such amazing programs like Entertainment Tonight, Extra, Access Hollywood, and, if memory serves me correctly, they played clips of Miss Hilton’s sextape. And that’s on network TV. At 7:30 in the evening.
Besides, it’s the internet. What do you expect to see if not porn?
Even Perez Hilton didn’t post this shit, said it was probably fake. So, Perez Hilton has more respect for Meg than Stereogum. Pretty sad…
um i think the real issue here is that stereogum posted this as if it were fact. there is no real mention of the fact that there is no proof of this being meg and that is very well is not.
no integrity.

Meg White Sex Tape? <<<<< you see that thing? thats a question mark. usually when someone put that it means they themselve are questioning it too.
“The office is split on whether or not this is actually Meg.”
at no point did sg ever say that it WAS meg. so in the words of fergie
The pedestal
You put yourself on
Well since I’m breaking it down now
It’s gonna collapse and be gone-gone-gone-gone-gone
So many of the comments I have seen (and yes I skimmed through them all) on this site and others, have been sexist, even ones that defend Meg.
She has a reasonable figure, and is probably healthier then girl who spend their lives trying to be stick thin. Matter of fact, she isn’t even what could be called “fat” except in our culture of twig thin standards.
Also, if this was a male, it would be a career boost, but for a girl, it is viewed to be in bad taste, even though it would make a guy seem cool.
And if you’re going to take a stance against Stereogum for posting it, might as well boycott BrooklynVegan, Pitchfork, etc.
Pitchfork didn’t post it
Wrong, Annie, dead wrong. Plenty of guys have tried releasing a sex tape in hopes of gaining some recognition and failed, some miserably. Unless Dustin Diamond been getting some screentime that I haven’t heard about.
Regarding the article itself: I don’t give a shit whether the ‘Gum wants to post links to porn, but it’s kind of disappointing they would bother posting something that was almost guaranteed to be fake. Next time, sacrifice getting the first word on a story for a little integrity, something that seems to be lacking around here lately.
the only article pitchfork had about this was that it was fake and to let it rest. Take a cue from them.
here’s an idea stereogum.
delete this article and pretend you didn’t compromise your journalistic integrity by posting rumors.
i almost thought i was on perezhilton for a second.
common sense will tell you it is not her, especially not in shitty dorm rooms.
Stereogum, you really dropped the ball on this one. This is the first time I’ve felt embarrased to be your reader. Should’ve done some fact-checking before running this lame tabloid junk. You’re at your best when you stick to the facts, and stick to the music. Leave the rest to the National Enquirer.
this is in response to favians comment(if anyone from stereogum is reading this.) If you delete the post, i’ll never read your blog again. I think it’s fine that it’s up, and if anything it’s stirred some pretty big debate, and I mean no one ever said it was her, and anyways, it’s clear it’s not meg white in that tape,(because I’m in her sex tape, and that guy isn’t me.) Anyways, keep up the good work stereogum. I also think favian is a douche.
chris is also a douche
Whether or not that is Meg White, let’s keep this in mind: IT’S PORN!!! YIPEEEEEE!
Oh and GOD FORBID S-Gum post material that offends your virgin eyes. But of course you are all entitled to your own opinion, you whiny babies.
LEAVE STEREOGUM ALONE!!!
why can’t people just admit when something is fucked up???? people say, “oh it’s just the internet, chill out” i want to punch these people in their face.
imagine if that was your sister. or worse, imagine if that wasn’t your sister, but everyone was saying that it was. “chill out dude, it’s just the internet…”
you assholes are full of shit, straight up.
I don’t see the difference in a general post discussing the sex tape’s existence and showing proof (Gum)and a supposedly more tasteful version by denying its authenticity from a publicist(nice ‘reporting,’ P4K)- they’re both fueling the same supposed fire some of you morality police are all up in arms about.
If you want to call it alarmism on all sides, fine, but let’s not split hairs.
Remember P4K posting naked pictures of Kevin Barnes? That was classy too, right?
If you look closely at the video, the girl is wearing a necklace that is obviously shaped like the letter “D” Last time I checked there was no “D” in Meg or White. There is, however, one in the word “Debunked.”
hhhhahhahaahhaahh its a peanut joke. seems to me that alot of people posting here would make great cops and/or district representatives, two outstanding career choices for any young person. sgum i ain’t mad attacha
Have a backbone people. Stereogum’s business is music blogging. If you want ‘tasteful’ media tidbits watch CNN, American Idol, or MTV.
“Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, your cool, i’m out”
Sterogum fuck off. And your sponsors can do the same!
You right wing Stereogum idiot commenters.
If its news, a blog is supposed to post it. This is not the New York Times where everything is supposed to be fact checked ten times. This is a blog where the writers have opinions. So if the Stereogum writers had the opinion it was truly Meg White, then they can post it as they like.
You people with fake moral rectitude sickens me. You are probably like Ted Haggard or Larry Craig. You feign wholesomeness, but then 10 seconds later you probably log onto Perez Hilton or TMZ.
By the way, fuck Meg White and fuck the White Stripes. Most over rated band in Americana music today.
Jonny hit the nail on the head
WOW! Meg really loves dog style!
who are the white stripes?
“The Stripes may have canceled their tour DO to Meg’s …”
Umm, not to be a grammar nazi, but I think you were looking for “DUE”. My eyes bleed when I see that kind of mistake. Agreed with the above; show some taste Stereogum. Pretty shitty move.

Grammer? Come on you’re better than that. My eyes bleed when I read that type mistake.
