Grey’s Anatomy star Eric Dane has “no regrets” when it comes to his 2009 sex tape with ex Rebecca Gayheart – though at the time he admitted it was a “mistake”.
The pair showed up in a leaked video that showed them enjoying a threesome in the bath with another woman – former Miss US Teen and Playboy model Kari Ann Peniche. At a running length of 12 minutes, the clip sees the trio running around naked before climbing in a hot tub together and discussing their potential porn names.
Eric said in the clip: “My alter-ego name is Peter. My dog growing up was called Cocaine, and I lived on Manor Drive, so I’m Cocaine Manor.” In 2014 the star confessed: “We all make mistakes. My one regret is that I got the person I love most wrapped up in all this: Rebecca.”

But now he’s had a change of heart, and has “no regrets” when it comes to the saucy tape. He told Glamour in 2019: “Looking back now, was it a mistake? Absolutely not. Three consenting adults, one of them being my wife? I wasn’t doing anything wrong.”

The Euphoria says he won’t apologise for his actions, despite there being allusions to drug use in the video as Rebecca was allegedly heard saying she needed to lie down because she was high.
No specific drug was mentioned, but Eric did reference it in his interview with Glamour, admitting: “I was most likely referring to the drug use that was alluded to in the video, and was that a mistake? Again, I don’t necessarily think I was breaking any laws and corrupting anybody. We were just three people taking a bath.”
The star added: “I didn’t regret it. I have no regrets nor do I make any apologies for my life experience. It’s my life experience and I am at peace with all of it.”

At the time, the trio were referred to as “very good friends” by beauty queen Peniche’s manager David Weintraub. He told ABC News when the tape first leaked in 2009: “This is an unfortunate incident where someone stole some property, personal property, among three very good friends.
“They were very good friends when the tape was filmed a few years ago. I don’t know if they’re good friends now.”

And it hasn’t stopped Eric from going onto other, steamier roles in his acting work either. In 2022, his Euphoria co-star Christin Byrdsong bends over to have a very specific sex act performed on him, revealing: “The dream was to work on this amazing show, with the incredible director, and multitalented actors. And I got to film fake sex scene with a childhood crush/actor inspiration!”
