7 Stars Who Didn’t Let a Sex Scandal Ruin Their Careers!

Paris Hilton

Heiress Paris Hilton first came to prominence when her sex tape, cleverly titled 1 Night in Paris, was released in 2003.

Shockingly, the sex tape only helped catapult Paris into worldwide, super stardom. In the years following the release of her sex tape, she was given a reality show, attended numerous red carpets and arrested many times!

Kim Kardashian

Interestingly enough, Kim Kardashian may not have been the worldwide celebrity she is today without the help of two sex tapes.

She first received media attention for hanging out with her pal Paris Hilton (famous for her own sex tape), but rose to fame when her own sex tape—which she stars in with ex Ray J—was released.

Kim’s fame, of course, has grown as she has starred in own reality series and released several perfumes and clothing lines (in addition to her many other claims to fame).

Most recently, she was featured on the cover of Vogue.

Rob Lowe

In 1988, ‘80s (and, let’s be honest… current) heart throb Rob Lowe was involved in his own sexually charged controversy when a tape was released of the handsome actor having sex with two women, one of whom was only 16 at the time.

Just a few years later, he put the scandal behind him when he married his wife, Sheryl Berkoff in 1991. He has since starred in or has regular, recurring roles on televisions hits such as The West Wing, Brothers & Sisters and Parks and Recreation.

Ironically, he is set to star in Jason Segel and Cameron Diaz’ naughty comedy Sex Tape, according to IMDb.

Vanessa Hudgens

Joe Jonas revealed the aftermath that followed at Disney when nude pictures of High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens surfaced online.

“We heard that she had to be in the Disney offices for a whole day because they were trying to figure out how to keep her on lockdown," the former boy bander uncovered in an essay for New York mag.

However, Vanessa’s career has more than recovered. She nabbed a role in the much anticipated and critically acclaimed Spring Breakers last year and recently received rave reviews for her performance as a troubled, pregnant teen in Gimme Shelter.

Tiger Woods

Around Thanksgiving Day 2009, it came to light that beloved athlete Tiger Woods was caught having an extramarital affair.

A woman came forward saying the golf pro cheated on his wife, model Elin Nordegren, with her. And then another mistress came forward. And another. And another—who published “sexts” she exchanged with Tiger.

Unsurprisingly, he was dropped by many of his sponsors—including AT&T, Gatorade and GM, while Gillette suspended all advertising.

However, many sponsors—like Nike and EA—remained by his side. When he returned at the 2010 Masters Tournament the following April, he was still embraced by many of his supporters.

Farrah Abraham

Farrah Abraham became the center of a scandal when she released a sex tape with porn star James Deen (who the Teen Mom star claimed to be dating at the time).

Not only did she claim her sex tape, Farrah Superstar: Backdoor Teen Mom, earn her a million bucks, but she’s also continued to make a career off its success.

Last month, she released the provocatively titled single, “Blowin’” (which is not about what you think it’s about—really). Additionally, she announced plans earlier this week to pen a series of naughty novels based loosely on her life, titled Celebrity Sex Tape.

Unlike the song, the books are about exactly what it sounds like!

Eddie Murphy

In 1997—while at the height of his career—Eddie Murphy was caught in a compromising situation when a transsexual prostitute was arrested in the actor’s car.

At the time, a rep for the star released a statement saying he was just being a “good Samaritan” by offering a ride to said prostitute.

Interestingly enough, in the years that immediately followed, the 52-year-old saw success with family films and movies catered to children, such as Mulan, Dr. Doolittle and Shrek to name a few.
