Unfortunately, because there is no clarity of thought in her posting, allied to poor grammar, it's difficult to know exactly what the question is!
If she's not participated in any gangbangs or bukkake events then no video footage of her indulging in such events can ever exist, which begs the question, what exactly is she asking about?
A simple sentence saying "someone is claiming that I've appeared..." would make greater sense than "hi there, i have recently found out that there is supposed to be a video out of me, with me in some kind of a house, doing bukkee thingy's and gangbangs. As a lot of people in here are probably aware, this is not true, as i have never done that kind of work, does anyone no of anything?"
The English language is one of the richest around. Because it is based on so many other languages (pure Latin roots, French with Latin roots and Germanic are the most common, though many Arabic and Indian words are also part of our language's culture) we have an ability to be precise in our meanings when constructing a sentence that no other language can do.
We can use the Germanic "come" or the Latinate "arrive". We can describe the same animal as swine, pig or pork depending upon it's state. In the French language, for example, there is no distinction between monkeys and apes.. they are all "singes".
If you don't think it's important to maintain certain standards that's up to you... but what will happen in 50 years time when everyone is using their own little variation of txt spk? Will we ever be able to communicate amongst ourselves properly then? The decline has already started, and it really doesn't help when people who should know better don't fight against that decline.
