Meg White Sex Tape?

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.

Woah! Link NSFW! Link NSFW!

Posted by: Evan at September 24, 2007 10:53 AM

yes, i have been waiting sooo long for this moment. And its finally here!!!

Posted by: Jesse at September 24, 2007 10:53 AM

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.

Posted by: gmak at September 24, 2007 10:54 AM

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?

Posted by: nick at September 24, 2007 10:58 AM

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....

Posted by: Mrs. Featherbottom at September 24, 2007 11:05 AM

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.

Posted by: T-Bone at September 24, 2007 11:15 AM

this blog is for sleazy losers

Posted by: stick at September 24, 2007 11:19 AM

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.

Posted by: Katrina at September 24, 2007 11:20 AM

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.

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.

Posted by: JAck at September 24, 2007 11:47 AM

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.

Posted by: Shut Up at September 24, 2007 11:48 AM

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.

Posted by: Jim-Bob at September 24, 2007 11:51 AM

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?

Posted by: w at September 24, 2007 11:57 AM

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.

Posted by: Mrs. Featherbottom at September 24, 2007 12:00 PM

sorry for the dupe

Posted by: w at September 24, 2007 12:01 PM

Show some respect. That is clearly not Meg. Shame on you.

Posted by: cyndi at September 24, 2007 12:05 PM

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.

Posted by: Jim-Bob at September 24, 2007 12:06 PM

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.

Posted by: bryan at September 24, 2007 12:06 PM

Dégeulasse.... you are stupid to publish that!

Posted by: shyboy at September 24, 2007 12:09 PM

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.

Posted by: jalfredprufrock at September 24, 2007 12:12 PM

Most people now think this is a fake (click my name for the link)

Posted by: jellydonot at September 24, 2007 12:12 PM

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.

Posted by: west at September 24, 2007 12:15 PM

That's Natasha Nice, not Meg White.

Look at dem titties jiggle!!!

Posted by: Dave at September 24, 2007 12:28 PM

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?

Posted by: chase at September 24, 2007 12:44 PM

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!!

Posted by: Dima at September 24, 2007 12:52 PM

Since forever, Chase, that's when.

Now run along..aren't you due at a Romney rally somewhere?

Posted by: Jim-Bob at September 24, 2007 12:56 PM

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.

Posted by: max at September 24, 2007 12:56 PM

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.

Posted by: The Other Matthew at September 24, 2007 1:20 PM

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.

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!

Posted by: bill at September 24, 2007 1:50 PM

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).

Posted by: () at September 24, 2007 2:06 PM

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.

Posted by: Rob at September 24, 2007 2:36 PM

It's not Meg. That girl actually has some rhythm.

Posted by: Shirley Doe at September 24, 2007 2:44 PM

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.

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.)

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.

Posted by: Nathaniel at September 24, 2007 4:05 PM

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.

Posted by: Greg at September 24, 2007 4:58 PM

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?"

Posted by: Erin at September 24, 2007 5:19 PM

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.

Posted by: Pitchfork at September 24, 2007 5:41 PM

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?

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.

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?

Posted by: joykicksdarkness at September 24, 2007 7:24 PM

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...

Posted by: brian 586 at September 24, 2007 8:03 PM

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.

at no point did sg ever say that it WAS meg. so in the words of fergie

Posted by: Aajah at September 24, 2007 8:34 PM

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.

Pitchfork didn't post it

Posted by: fact checking cuz at September 24, 2007 9:41 PM

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.

Posted by: Peter K at September 24, 2007 10:01 PM

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.

Posted by: favian at September 24, 2007 10:10 PM

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.

Posted by: Chris at September 24, 2007 10:21 PM

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.
