A Sarasota-Bred Big Brother Star May Have a Gay Porn Past
The Reality TV-focused Web site RealityBlurred is reporting that Sarasota native and Big Brother 9 contestant "Crazy James" Zinkand once appeared in an amateur porn video and an ad for a gay porn Web site.
According to RealityBlurred, Zinkand is shown, um, pleasuring himself in a video on the site SpyOnDudes and also shown making out with another guy in an ad for the Web site Dirty Boy video. Such disclosures -- while hardly a surprise, given the exhibitionistic nature of folks who do reality TV -- are relevant because some contestants have been kicked off other reality shows (notably American Idol) for such histories. And this year's Big Brother features couples, pairing Zinkand with woman he says is his soulmate. (UPDATE: RealityBlurred found more video featuring Crazy James from Dirty Boy, which seems to be trying to sell its wares using his tenure on Big Brother as a hook)
I also noted in a previous blog post Zinkand's notorious local history as one of the guys who made headlines jumping off the roof of a local resort into a pool when one of them -- not Zinkand -- missed the water and got badly hurt.
