Whoops! There is No Opie's Fiancée Sex Tape
Oct. 27 2008, Published 7:07 a.m. ET
Opie In what's likely more indicative of a legal threat and a slow news day than a dedication to accuracy, Page Six admits today that an alleged sex tape featuring the fiancée of Gregg "Opie" Hughes (of radio's Opie and Anthony) and MTV's Bam Margera does not, in fact, exist. Steppin' Out magazine's Chaunce Hayden is assigned the blame for providing the Post with bogus info. He was quoted in the April 23 Page Six item as saying of the couple, "They're doing the nasty—and I mean nasty," but Hayden tells RadarOnline.com that was a quote he relayed from his source. Hayden didn't even think the story held up to Steppin' Out standards. It was a two-year-old rumor that ex staffers were buzzing about, Hayden tells RadarOnline.com, but "because I couldn't get a comment from Opie or Bam, at deadline I didn't feel comfortable running the story until I heard their side of the story." Page Six, apparently, had no such reservations. On May 1, Hayden gave his side of the scandal in Steppin' Out—after Page Six did its bit.
