Iggy Azalea’s strategy to combat the release of her purported sex tape appears to be the legal equivalent of throwing s–t at the wall and hoping something sticks. Her latest tactic? Telling porn distributor Vivid it can expect a lawsuit if it releases the video, which may or may not be real … because her name is trademarked! That’s right … “Iggy Azalea” can only be used by Iggy Azalea, she claims. At this point, it appears to that an Iggy Azalea sex tape exists. Probably. Her lawyers’ denials, originally direct and succinct, have become more numerous and nebulous (one might even say flimsy) in the ensuing days. Initially, they said it was fake, then said she may have been underage . Then they claimed she may or may not have consented to it – which is ridiculous, either she did or she didn’t – if the video is legit. Which it maybe isn’t. Iggy personally denied the tape, only to see the alleged co-star Hefe Wine come forward to say it’s totally real and that she was 18 when he met her. So … Trying a different tack, Azalea attorneys have sent a letter to Vivid, which has said it’s reviewing the tape, claiming her stage name is a U.S. Trademark. Vivid is reportedly unmoved , and continuing its “due diligence” … ick. We don’t even want to know what’s going on behind those scenes, but TMZ also says Iggy feels betrayed by her ex, so it’s looking like the video’s legit. Will we get to see it? All we can do is stay tuned on that front. 11 Odd Iggy Azalea Facts! 1. Her Stage Name Has History She took the name “Iggy Azalea” from her childhood dog and the street she grew up on.
