Way back in January of 2011 we reported on Teen Mom vet Amber Portwood having allegedly been offered $500,000 by Vivid CEO Steve Hirsch to film a p0rn. At the the time, even while Amber was down spiraling towards her decision to opt for jail, the idea seemed pretty far-fetched. Now, in light of the Farrah Superstar: Backdoor Teen Mom insanity that has resulted from Amber’s alum, Farrah Abraham, doing just that with the same company it doesn’t seem so off the charts that Portwood very well may have received an offer.
