Nevertheless, the owner of Sirina Entertainment (the company which distributed the DVD), Dimitris Sirinakis, stated: ""I can't reveal how or from whom I got the sex tape, but I can assure you that it was obtained legally."" A day after its release, over 200,000 copies of the DVD were said to have been sold. Shortly after the DVD's release, Alexandratou appeared on one of Star Channel's newscasts, on which she claimed that the pornographic video was filmed exclusively for personal use and she also stated, without revealing the unidentified man's real identity, that his first name was Giorgos and that it was him who leaked the video, to harm her public image.
