The first I knew of Lady Lane was that leaked sex tape. It wasn’t even really a sex tape. I mean, it was a video of Liam Carson masturbating while Lady Lane gave this soliloquy about sex work. The tape might’ve gone viral because it was this surreal phenomenon showing Liam Carson, Hollywood’s favorite unproblematic boyfriend, at a brothel with this prostitute who looked almost exactly like his girlfriend, Hollywood’s favorite unproblematic actress, Willa Jordan, but the speech is what really stuck. Everyone knows that speech. Everyone knows it to this day. If Lady Lane had just been engaging in sex in the video, the news would’ve blown up and died down, the way things do with a celebrity scandal, but that speech started a conversation and the conversation lasted.
