Long Island Lolita Amy Fisher has been happy to talk about her sex tape, her DJ-ing career, and her current life to pretty much any and all press. But throw in a question from the daughter of Joey and Mary Jo Buttafuoco, you don't get Amy.
Fisher was a guest on Howard Stern's Sirius radio show when Jessica Buttafuoco called in. AMNY's Pet Rock blog reveals "Fisher said she did not want to talk to the daughter of the woman she shot in the face in 1992, but Stern took the call anyway." So Fisher walked (Mark's Friggin has a blow-by-blow).
Apparently Buttafuoco wanted to tell Fisher "releasing the [sex] tape could have grave impacts on the relationships with her children." Well, a sex tape would have grave impact, but so does knowing your mom shot her married lover's wife in the face when she was 17.
Back in 2005, Jessica and Mary Jo Buttafuoco appeared on Oprah. Jessica said she didn't think Fisher was sincere, "I just really want to tell her to just get to know yourself. I feel like she's afraid to do that. She's afraid to really go down deep and answer the hard questions. But everyone needs to do that to move on."
Fisher's husband - and sex tape co-star - Lou Bellera called Stern to complain his wife was "blindsided" and then proceeded to discuss the tape. Classy!
