BUCKWILD SEX TAPE- MTV Stars Shae Bradley and Jesse J's Porn Exploits






Buckwild Sex Tape! Shae & Jessie J


Move over Farrah Abraham- there's a new MTV reality star sex tape about to make waves! According to TMZ, 'Buckwild' cast member Shae Bradley and ex boyfriend Jessie J (who was featured on the show) have a raunchy home video that is being sold to the highest bidder.

Reports claim the porn tape was made over a year ago, and 'Buckwild' producers were aware of it's existence even before the first episode aired. Advised by MTV to keep it under wraps, the secret was safe until the cat was let out of the bag this week, apparently by Jesse J. himself.

Looks like Shae isn't running down the typical deny-it-til-death (or 'til it's released!) avenue many celeb skin flick stars do...in fact, she admits that it's out there and blames the release on her shady ex. "Yes, there is a sex tape and I regret making it with someone who I obviously couldn't trust and is looking to exploit the relationship we had." she told TMZ. Sources who have seen the sex tape say that it's not overly graphic, in fact Shae doesn't even remove her shirt!

Will the tape ever make it to light? Who knows! But we can't help but find the timing a tad bit suspicious...it was announced earlier this week that 'Buckwild' has been cancelled due to the death of Shain Gandee. Have to make sure the spotlight doesn't fade, and what better way to ensure that than a good old fashioned porno movie?!

MTV'S Buckwild CANCELLED in wake of Shain Gandee''s Death

MTV announceed 'Buckwild' has been cancelled





MTV announced this week that hit show 'Buckwild' has been cancelled following the tragic death of star Shain Gandee. On April 1st Gandee, his uncle and friend were found dead in his 1984 Bronco after experiencing vehicle problems while four-wheeling. An autopsy revealed the trio died of carbon monoxide poisoning, most likely a result of the truck's muffler becoming submerged in mud. 


"After careful consideration, MTV will not be moving forward with season two of “BUCKWILD” in West Virginia. We love the cast and the show and this was not an easy decision, but given Shain’s tragic passing and essential presence on the show, we felt it was not appropriate to continue without him. Instead, we are working on a meaningful way to pay tribute to his memory on our air and privately." the network released in the statement. MTV had began filming for season two in the weeks before Gandee's death.
"I’m relieved and happy the show is cancelled, and so is everyone around here." West Virginia mayor Danny Jones said in a statement to TMZ.  "The show does nothing for us and exaggerates every negative stereotype about us." Both Jones and WV Senatore Joe Manchin have openly expressed their displeasure with the series since it's debut. Claiming it glamorizes underage drinking and shows the state in an unflattering, country-bumpkin'esque light, the lawmakers have petitioned to have filming shut down since early this year.
But not everyone was pleased to hear of the series' cancellation. "There was no explination." says 'Buckwild' producer J.P. Williams. "This is the network that has shows about teen pregnancy. They'll stick by a show that allows you to abandon a child, but a kid dies by accident doing what he does for a living [mudding] and they cancel the show?” Williams, who manages eight of the cast members plans to continue on with filming...with or without MTV. "My job is to protect these kids. This will get ugly." In a statement given to THR the veteran producer claims he plans on bringing the show to the silver screen with a Buckwild movie if the series is not renewed. 

Is Shae Bradley from Buckwild PREGNANT?!

Is Shae from Buckwild Pregnant?



We're taking this with a grain of salt, but it will be interesting to see if it pans out! According to poster "Honest" on the Sissonville Topix.com message board, Kristina "Shae" Bradley- Buckwild's resident blonde bombshell- may have a bun in the oven! 

"Shae was at my obgyn dr office today. She's prego."  claims the poster from Charlestown, WV on March 7th. "How do I know. I was waiting in room beside hers and heard doctor tell her he was giving her orders to have a blood test to confirm pregnancy. Promise, I have no reason to make things up."


Shae hasn't commented on the rumors as of yet, and it's too early to be on bump-watch! If she was just finding out about her pregnancy in March, she most likely wouldn't be 'showing' for another several months. We won't hold our breath- but we're looking forward to seeing if this rumor holds any truth. Oh, and a note to her doctors office: install thicker walls!

*Edit- Shae posted on Twitter "Just to clear things up- I am not, nor have I ever been pregnant hahaha that is all :) " (And we're glad! She's too young and has too much ahead of her to start makin' babies now! Seems like this little lady has a good head on her shoulders!)

A Topix.com user reported that Shae may be expecting

Shain Gandee's Funeral: Buckwild Star's Memory Lives On as Hundreds Gather to Mourn his Death

Shain Gandee's funeral was held Sunday April 7th 2013



Reporter: Laura Domineau

Charleston, West Virginia: A sea of camoflauged color filled Charleston Municipal Auditorium today, as over two hundred mourners attended the funeral of MTV Reality star Shain Gandee, 21, and his uncle David Gandee, 48. The two were found dead earlier this week of accidental carbon monoxide poisoning after Gandee's truck and tailpipe became lodged in mud. Asked not don typical funeral attire as Shain "hated to dress up" friends, family and fans opted for earth tone hunting gear or tee-shirts branded with "Gandee Candy"- the star's nickname.

"I know where Shain is" said mother Loretta Gandee as she delivered a short and touching eulogy. "He said about a month ago, 'I know when I die I'm goin' to heaven!'" After speaking the grieving mother, dressed in a bright pink "Gandee Candy" tee-shirt and jeans, sang an emotional hymn, a capella.

A slide show set to accompanying country music took guests on a sentimental journey through Gandee's life. Photos showed the simpler side of Shain, one untouched by camera crews or sudden fame. Smiling proudly in his elementary school football uniform, dressed up for the high school dance, kissing a baby and bride, and holding a hunting trophy while beaming into the camera reminded guests that it's often the small moments in life that matter the most.

As guests exited the auditorium  many agreed the funeral was the perfect tribute to the late reality star. "He probably would walk in their going, "BUCKWILD!" said friend Ricky Slater, 23. Despite being the title of the show that rocketed him to fame, it was also Gandee's signature catch phrase.

Cameras were not allowed inside the funeral, and 'Buckwild' has postponed filming indefinitely, allowing family and friends to appropriately mourn the loss of Gandee.

A private family burial was held at Thaxton Cemetery in Kanawha County.

911 Call Recording Released after friend discovers Shain Gandee's body

In a heartbreaking conversation, a friend of Buckwild's Shain Gandee calls 911 police line after finding the bodies of Gandee, his uncle, and friend unresponsive in Shain's vehicle. After telling the operator they had been searching for the group since Saturday, the caller beaks down in tears as reality hits that Shain has paseed. As you can tell by the conversation the vehicle was located in such a remote area, police were even unsure how to access it. Absolutely tragic.

Is Cara Parrish from Buckwild Pregnagnt? Check out her lingerie pictures and tell us yourself!

Cara from Buckwild - Does this look like the body of a mommy-to-be?  Who knew she had such a killer bod?!



Lately rumors have been circulating that Cara Parrish, the feisty read head firecracker on MTV's Buckwild is pregnant. While we can't pin point exactly how and where these allegations are coming from, we CAN say with almost certainty, Cara is not currently with child.

Thanks to some hardcore investigative journalism (AKA: reading her twitter tweets) this fast moving, fun loving little lady isn't planning on being a mama anytime soon. At the end of March Cara bragged about her exceptional skills as a drunk-chef. "I just realized as I'm picking up the remnants of our home made salad bombs that I'm still drunk!" The reality star who describes herself as "whiskey in a teacup" also posted instructions of how to make Easter egg jello shots, and made plans with a friend to have a "Whiskey night"- certainly not behavior of one with a uterus visitor!

Thankfully Cara seems to be blazing her own trail instead of following in the footsteps of her MTV young-mom counterpoints. The openly bi-sexual star  has embarked on a successful modeling career (and we've seen some gorgeous not-quite naked lingerie photos that will make your jaw drop) and seems to be having the time of her life. Live it up, girl!

Shain Gandee's Girlfriend Kansas Whiting Devastated after Buckwild Star's Sudden Death

Shane Gandee Girlfriend


Shain Gandee's Girlfriend Kansas Whiting




Viewer's of MTV's "Buckwild" knew Shain Gandee as a rambunctious, fun-loving, wild child who was always fond of chasing the occasional lady...or two. One story line heavily featured on the show was his pursuit of cast member Cara Parrish. From the second he laid eyes on her in episode one, Shain was dead-set on making her the Mrs. in his life. On the finale episode fans cheered as it appeared his love was finally requited as he went in for a kiss and cuddle with Cara by the camp side fire.

Tragically, Shain passed away this week in a four wheeling accident. As surprising as his death was, there was another shocker in the form of his obituary. "He will be sadly missed and not forgotten by [his family] and most of all, his girlfriend and the love of his life, Kansas Whiting."

It appears as if the "Single Shain" persona may in fact have been yet another scripted aspect of the reality show. But who is Shane Gandee's girlfriend? According to E! News, the beautiful and blonde Kansas was Shain's lontime love. “She truly loves him with all her heart," said life-long friend Katie Whitt. ”Their families are so close. I always thought that they would be getting married.”

Kansas' Facebook profile picture was recently changed to a photo of herself and Gandee, and condolences from friends and family filled the comments. Our heart breaks for you Kansas. We cannot imagine the pain and loss you are experiencing.




Shain & Cara- "Fake" love? The pair were close friends. Rumors circulated that Cara was pregnant, but  they do not seem credible nor factual.

4-Wheeler Provided by MTV lead to discovery of Shain Gandee's Body



ATV Vehicle Provided by MTV Lead to Discovery of  Network Star's Accident Scene

Reporter: Laura Domineau




Shain Gandee's 1984 Ford Bronco truck after being recovered from the accident scene



Sissonville, WV: According to a report by WBCH ABC 8 out of Charleston, West Virginia,  MTV crew in the area filming for Buckwild Season 2 were ultimately the ones who lead authorities to the bodies of Shain Gandee, 21, his uncle David Gandee, 48 and friend Donald Robert Meyers, 27.

After leaving Larry's Bar in Sissonville at approximately 3:00 am early Sunday morning, Gandee informed patrons the group planned to go four wheeling. Failing to mention the exact location they were headed may have proved fatal, as family and friends searching for Gandee after he did not return were unaware of his whereabouts.

After a civilian on an ATV vehicle reported finding a truck partially submerged in mud with three unresponsive individuals inside, police and rescue units attempted to head to the area, but due to the muddy trail terrain were unable to get emergency response vehicles to the scene.

MTV crew provided an ATV used while filming the show to the Kanawha County Sheriff's department which was used to travel to the scene and locate the accident. A source from the Sheriffs Department as well as a Gandee family member confirmed to reporters officials found Shain, his uncle, and friend dead in the vehicle upon arrival.

Gandee recently rose to fame in 2013 as the rambunctious star of MTV reality show 'Buckwild', chronicling the lives of a group of young 20-somethings living in the West Virginia communities of Sissonville and Charleston. Despite outcry from the community and WV Senator Joe Manchin that the program portrayed the area in a negative light and should be cancelled, MTV recently confirmed the series was picked up for a second season with filming currently underway.

Patrons at Larry's Bar, the last location Gandee was seen alive, mentioned that MTV had recently been filming inside the establishment, a popular hangout among Gandee and friends.

According to cousin Ashley Gandee, funeral plans are tentatively sceheduled for Saturday. Autoposy reports released early Wednesday conclude the accidental deaths were a result of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Is Shain Gandee Dead? "Buckwild" star dies in off-roading accident *PHOTOS*

Friends and family gather to morn at Shain Gandee's family home in West Virginia

Shain Gandee's recovered truck


Over the past 24 hours we have been updating our Buckwild blog, piecing together what little information was given to us by the authorities as well as sources close to to Shain Gandee. We have received many emails asking "Is Shain Gandee dead?" "Is this a hoax?" Unfortunately, Shane Gandee, his Uncle David Gandee, 48,and a 27 year old friend Donald "Robert" Myers sadly passed away early Sunday morning hours after they were reported missing. They were found in Shain's 1984 Ford Bronco which was stuck in the mud off of Wolf Pen Drive, close to Shain's family home which was prominently featured on the MTV show 'Buckwild'.

While information surrounding the circumstances is still unclear (at best) this is the updated info we have received as of 04/02/13. Below is a timeline of what supposedly happened the night of Shane's death

Saturday evening:  Shain Gandee tweets about getting drunk. Though unsure of the exact time, he heads to "Big Larry's" a bar in Sissonville West Virginia. Talking with locals to the area, it is described as a dive bar, and one customer mentioned that MTV has been filming at the bar lately for Buckwild, as it's a popular hangout of Shain and crew.

Early Sunday Morning: Shane Gandee, his uncle, and friend leave the bar around 3:00 am telling friends they planned to go "muddin'", a local term used to describe off-roading. This is the last known point-of-contact.

Sunday: When family and friends did not hear from the group they became concerned and spent most of Easter Sunday searching for them before notifying police. A friend of Gandee's found the truck and bodies Sunday afternoon.

Monday: Police release statement confirming the bodies of Shain Gandee, his uncle, and friend were found. Shain was in the driver's seat of the vehicle, which was partially submerged in mud, with the muffler fully submerged. This could signify the men did die of carbon monoxide poisoning (either from revving the engine repeatedly, or even turning on the heat to stay warm). Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas. The only positive thing we can say about this is it is generally a relatively painless death, as most victims do not even realize they are inhaling the toxic fumes before passing out.


Tuesday: Shain's cousin Ashley Gandee took to Facebook to say: The family feels that Shain died 

peacefully in his sleep without pain or suffering. That it was probably carbon monoxide poisoning," 
and noted that donations for funeral expenses can be made to Gandee General Store in Crown City, Ohio. While Shain may have found fame on MTV, he was paid very little and the family is struggling to pay for his funeral. Ashley is organizing a "MudRun" in Shain's memory to help off-set the costs.


Police are awaiting toxicology tests and a report from the medical examiner to rule the exact cause of 

death.

Shain Gandee's funeral will be held this upcoming Saturday.


MTV has released a statement that future episodes of "Buckwild" will be put on hold "indefinitely".

Shain Gandee's Death: Could it have been prevented?

Shain takes the crew off-roading in Buckwild episode 1

Looking back at past Buckwild episodes, it's clear that from the get-go Shain ("Shane Gandee") was known as the wild man. Never one to turn down a crazy idea (redneck pool/slip and slide, slingshots, potato guns, and of course, 'muddin (off-roading), many clips from the show highlight Shain's fearless and wild approach, especially towards driving.

If the rumors are correct and Shain did in fact pass (much too soon) in a off-roading accident...I hate to say it..but the signs were there.

MTV's website offers Buckwild clips and full episodes to view, many of which feature Shain's rough and tough, down and dirty attitude, especially towards driving.



In the clip titled a cryptic "Muddin' Mishaps", Shae and Shain discuss cast member Katie's fear of driving and going off-roading with Shain. "I had her crying in my truck" said  Shain. "We were doing like, 60 [mph] on this little four wheel path!" Shae also chimes in stating Katie had good reason to be scared, as she herself hit her head from the crazy driving down muddy trails. "As soon as she sees my truck she jumps out [and says] 'I'm not gettin' back in there!" Shain says with a grin.

In another bonus clip "Drivin with Shae and Shain" Shae talks about Shain  driving in the mud...backwards..for a couple miles. Shain recounts the time he stole Shae's car, driving around curbs while pulling the emergency brake to "drift it", causing car problems requiring Shain to buy her a new set of tires.



Shain's erratic driving can be seen throuhout the season

As far back as Episode One, the group decides to go off-roading. As the trio climbs into the cab of the truck one of the boys yells out "I'm holding on for dear life...Shain's driving!"Shortly after getting into the truck Shane erratically drives off the paved road and begins to spin out. "Muddin' is my stress reliever!" he says. The rest of the clip shows the girls screaming, and Shain's truck getting stuck in the mud, requiring assistance from his friend Willy on a tractor to pull him out.

Shain's truck gets stuck in the mud, requires assistance from friend

While this may seem in all good fun I can't help but notice many events that happened during the series showing Shain's crazy, fearless driving especially in bad terrain basically showed it was an accident waiting to happen. Though MTV portrayed it as a bunch of cool 'red-neck' kids just having some down and dirty summer fun, it's hard to look back while knowing Shain's favorite thing to do could be what ultimately caused his untimely passing.

We will forever remember Shain Gandee in our hearts and hope this tragic accident can act as a reminder to others to play it safe. You NEVER know how much time you have left.

Buckwild's Salwa Amin jailed for drugs / Shain Gandee Dies in Tragic Accident

Salwa from Buckwild jailed after testing positive for morphine & oxycodone. We hope she gets the help she needs- it's NOT too late to turn your life around Salwa...you can do it!






Ahh, reality stars. They're just like us! Well, if you happen to be someone who sells heroin and hides out  in sheds to avoid the po-po during a raid of your house!

MTV 'Buckwild' star Salwa Amin found herself in a boatload of trouble last month after local police received a tip that a large shipment of drugs was expected to be delivered to her residence. After setting up surveillance on the house (and noticing large amounts of people were entering and leaving the house for short periods of time- major giveaway that drug-deals were going on!) a warrant was obtained and police began the raid.

Salwa and two other suspects were found hiding in a backyard shed attempting to evade the police. Large quantities of money and oxycodone pills (a highly addictive narcotic pain medication which when taken in large doses produce a high similar to that of heroin) were found on the individuals, as well as three bags of heroin hidden in the shed.

The homeowner told police Salwa and accomplice transported the drugs to his home with the intent to sell and distribute them.

Salwa was arrested on two felony counts of drug possession with intent to distribute.

Last week Salwa was arrested AGAIN after failing a court ordered drug test, testing positive for oxycodone and morphine and was sent to Central Regional Jail.

People are very quick to brush off people in situations like this "It's all their fault! They deserve it!" Please keep in mind drugs may start off as a choice, but can end in addiction...which is a DISEASE, something that physically changes brain chemistry. I would speculate in a case like (continuing to use drugs while being monitored by the court) that Salwa may be suffering from a serious addiction. If this is the case I hope she receives the help, treatment and guidance she needs.

With the tragic death of Shane Gandee, and Salwa's arrests...will there be a season two? Seems like MTV would have A LOT of serious subjects to address on a not-so-serious show. But I suppose that would be great for ratings?

Shain Gandee from Buckwild died of possible carbon monoxide posioning: How can this happen?

Shain from Buckwild - Did he die from possible carbon monoxide poisoning while off-roading with uncle and friend?

*Editor's note: This is a follow-up to our earlier story on the death of Buckwild reality star Shain Gandee. Check out the original article for full details*

While the investigation is still underway and cause of death will most likely not be released until an autopsy is completed, sources have speculated that Shain Gandee, star of MTV's 'Buckwild" and two passengers (his uncle David Gandee, 48, and an unidentified 21 year old male) may have died of carbon monoxide poisoning while "off-roading" in Shain's truck early Sunday morning after a night of drinking in West Virginia.

But how is it possible to die of to carbon monoxide poisoning while off-roading, which is usually done in an open, four wheel drive vehicle used recreationally to joy-ride on unpaved and back-woods roads?

Apparently it's easier than one would think. After doing some research we have found several cases of individuals passing away from carbon monoxide posioning while participating in similar activities.

In 2012, three individuals in Maine died in similar circumstances. After being stuck in a bog (something common in off-roading, as you are driving in usually muddy, unstable areas which vehicles can easily become "trapped" in. We saw this in a Buckwild episode where Shain's friend had to tow him out after getting stuck in mud) the driver continued to try to rev the engine, attempting to give the vehicle additional power to release it from the mud. This can easily create excessive exhaust and carbon monoxide. Since CM is colorless and odorless, it is essentially undetectable. If windows are not rolled down and the vehicle is not adequately ventilated, CM can easily infiltrate into the cab of the truck, harming or even killing the helpless passengers inside.

In addition, alcohol use can play a major factor in the poisoning. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, people who are intoxicated can die from carbon monoxide poisoning even before they experience symptoms!         

Until we know the official cause of death, this is speculation based on reports from sources close to Shain. However, if after getting the truck stuck the engine was left on and running, carbon monoxide poisoning could be an unfortunate, but likely outcome.                

We will update as more information comes in. Our thoughts and  prayers remain with the Gandee family and Shain's friends and loved ones during this difficult time.

Is Shane Gandee Dead? Sadly, Buckwild's Shain ( Shane ) Gandee is Dead at 21

Shain Gandee dead at 21
Buckwild star Shain Gandee: Dead at 21 in off-roading accident




Tragic news out of West Virginia: MTV "Buckwild" star and fan favorite Shain Gandee (affectionately refrred to as "Gandee Candy") died early Sunday morning. While a cause of death has not been released, carbon monoxide poisoning is suspected.  [Editors Note: Please see our post regarding possible circumstances on how carbon monoxide poisoning could have happened while Shain was offroading). Shain, his 48-year old uncle David Gandee, and a third unidentified man were found in Shain's 1984 Ford Bronco. The wrecked vehicle with all three men inside was located in a muddy ditch in a wooded area only miles from Gandee's home in Sissonville, West Virginia.

Authorities had been searching for Gandee since he was reported missing early Sunday morning and planned to send an aviation unit out as they recieved a call that a truck had been located. Sources claim the men were last seen at approximately 3:00am Sunday leaving a bar. They told friends they planned to go "off roading" (a term used to describe taking a vehicle on unsurfaced roads). This was a passion of Shain's, and an activity prominently displayed on the show 'Buckwild'. Though not normally extremely dangerous, off-roading does have risks and Gandee was often shown driving recklessly on the television series.

On of Shain's last tweets from his Twitter account was posted Saturday night (March 30th), possibly just hours before the accident. "Saturday night!!! Lets let drunk people!!!" he wrote. His account has since been updated, possibly by a family member. "This account will be turned into Shains Angel account. You will get tweets daily from Heaven. ". "Shain loved life and he enjoyed every second he had. Like Shain you should always live life to the fullest!"


Earlier today, West Virginia's Kanawha Sheriff's Office released a statement in regards to Mr. Gandee's death:
"We cannot confirm the identities of the bodies at this point, but there are three. The vehicle was found at 11.30 a.m. this morning in a wooded area near Shain’s house. We are dealing with a geography problem right now because it is a remote area and the car is in a ravine. The bodies have not yet been moved, and I estimate that a passerby found the car. Shain and David were last seen at Big Larry’s bar at 3 a.m. on Sunday night, and they were reported missing later by family. I don’t know if they crashed, but that’s a strong possibility."


 MTV networks have also made a public comment about the loss of their up and coming reality star: "We are shocked and saddened by the terrible news about Shain Gandee, and those involved in this tragic incident," a spokesperson for MTV said in a statement. "We are waiting for more information but at this time, our main concern is for the Gandee family and their friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with them. Shain had a magnetic personality, with a passion for life that touched everyone he met and we will miss him dearly."

"Buckwild" was recently renewed for a second season. Several other castmates have made headlines lately for run-in's with the law. Salwa Amin was recently arrested for heroin possession and subsequently sent to jail for violating terms of her bond.

Michael Douglas Burford, who made appearances on the show, was charged in February with driving under the influence.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Gandee family during this heartbreaking time. 

We will keep you updated as more details are released. Please feel free to leave comments. How will YOU remember Shain?
