The sex tape starring Girls Gone Wild creator Joe Francis and his girlfriend Abbey Wilson has been sold thanks to a favor from his friend Steve Hirsch, the head of Vivid Entertainment.
As we previously reported, the tape was being shopped around after someone stole Wilson’s iPad. Francis and his lawyer threatened legal action against the thief, and his lawyer said "When we catch you, we will see that you are prosecuted to the fullest extent of both the criminal and civil laws.”
But according to TMZ, when the video got into the hands of Hirsch, who distributed Kim Kardashian and Farrah Abraham’s sex tapes, he bought it and agreed to never show it.
Hirsch then told TMZ, "Because of the time-sensitive nature of the situation I made a decision to expedite the process and return the movie to its original owner."
Last year, Wilson won the Girls Gone Wild Search for the Hottest Girl in America. The two can be seen on the new season of Vh1’s Couple’s Therapy.
