Catarina Migliorini became a viral sensation last week, when news broke that the beautiful 20-year-old Brazilian student was auctioning off her virginity to raise money for impoverished families in her country.
Early bidding quickly topped $190,000.
But the organizer of the auction has told HuffPost Weird News that he was shocked when she told various media that she was doing it for charity. He thought it was for profit and self-promotion.
« I was surprised she said that because in all my dealings with her, she made it clear that it was a business decision for her, » Australian filmmaker Justin Sisely said in an exclusive interview.
« Now, given how big this story is in Brazil, she’s trapped. If she doesn’t give any money to charity, she’s going to look bad. »
For the last two years, Sisely has been working on « Virgins Wanted, » a documentary film that follows male and female virgins attempting to get over that particular hump, so to speak.
As part of the project’s climax, Sisely has been holding a pair of online auctions in which people can bid for the chance to deflower Migliorini, 20, or Alex Stepanov, a male.
