Notice that we’re asking that as a question and not stating that as a fact. The day after the final of the Eurovision Song Contest a handful of media outlets in the Balkans reported on an alleged sex scandal involving Eurovision winner Emmelie de Forest and her ex-boyfriend. The team at WiwiBloggs.com were too busy blogging to notice.
But on May 19 SMedia.Rs—a news site in Serbia—reported about the alleged sex tape anyway. They claimed that Emmelie’s unnamed ex had stumbled upon a homemade video, which showed the pair engaging in oral sex. He supposedly attempted to sell it for 200,000 euros. BL!N Magazine, a Bosnian magazine, then picked up on the story. And then Dr. D—a Wiwi correspondent in Croatia— saw the allegations printed in Gloria—Croatia’s answer to OK! magazine.
We’re 99.99% sure this tape does not exist and that the Balkan tabloids are stirring trouble in the name of web traffic. Who can forget the recent allegations from Serbia’s Kurir tabloid which labeled F.Y.R. Macedonia’s Esma a homophobe? (She has categorically denied this, by the way).
The story reflects a lot more than the tabloids’ desire to push magazines off the shelves. It suggests a degree of bitterness over the Balkans’ lackluster year at Eurovision. Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia and Slovenia all crashed out of the first semi-final, and Macedonia failed to advance from the second semi-final. Perhaps throwing a bit of dirt on Denmark makes them feel better about a truly disastrous showing.

I don’t care if she have sex or not. This is her own life
Well it’s not like she’d be the first ESC artist to have one…. 😛
The girl is having sex – how shocking! Who cares. I don’t like the song or her, but she won fair and square. Let it go.
Now a Farid Mammadov sex tape, that woud be more interesting !!
I am shocked, repeat shocked, that a scandal magazine might make something up to increase sales.
My question is – does it matter if there is a sex tape? Why is oral sex so scandalous?
