When 21-year-old Searcy Hayes appeared on The Maury Povich Show late last week, it was to face cheating allegations from her boyfriend, Freddie Green. After proving that Green was indeed the father of her three-month-old son, Hayes walked away to focus on her family—only to find out after the episode aired that the internet had dubbed her the spitting image of anti-dildo presidential hopeful Ted Cruz.

Now, she's taken the potentially devastating comparison and capitalized on it by accepting $10,000 to star in a six-minute sex tape for porn site xHamster.

xHamster spokesman Mike Kulich told the Huffington Post that the site chose Hayes because she is clearly an overnight viral superstar. "I think a lot of xHamster viewers really wanted to see her in action," he said.

Hayes's boyfriend, Green, will join her in the tape, and he said that the two didn't mull too hard over the decision to accept the $10,000 offer. "We want to buy a truck, pay off our house, and we might get married," he told HuffPo. "I never had anyone say, 'Here's $10,000! Go make a sex tape.'"

Hayes says she'd never heard of Ted Cruz before her brush with internet fame and doesn't believe she looks like him. "The eyes are different," she tells Maury in this explosive Facebook video follow-up. "He's got a bigger nose than I do."
