VIVICA A. FOX CLAIMS THERE IS NO SEX TAPE: Actress says if one existed, she'd be trying to profit from it herself.

*Film and TV star Vivica A. Fox is denying that she is the woman featured in a sex tape that has been circulating on the Internet.


"Vivica does not have a sex tape. If I did, I would be making my own money off of it," the actress told People magazine Saturday night at the taping of the inaugural BET Honors in Washington, D.C.


The video in question shows a man receiving oral sex from a woman he claims is Fox. The man, as the story goes, filmed the act and then distributed the footage to his friends, which eventually got back to Fox. The actress allegedly contacted a friend in the police department for advice on how to handle the situation.

Atlanta radio personality Porsche Foxx reportedly confirmed the story, calling Fox her friend and expressing a labored decision on whether to go public with the story.

The "Kill Bill" star didn't comment directly on the latter part of the rumor, but reaffirmed to People: "As a 43-year-old woman, I would never allow a man to put me in that position. If you see me having a love scene, it's going to be choreographed in a movie, and be fabulous."

As for her no contest plea to DUI charges last December, Fox says she's learned a valuable lesson: "Hire a driver."

"I gave Nicole Richie that advice – hire a driver," she says. "It's a lesson I definitely learned. No one is above the law."
