Amy Fisher’s contrite hubby said yesterday he regrets lashing out at his then-estranged wife by hawking their private sex tape to a notorious smut peddler.
Lou Bellera sold the rights to “Amy Fisher Caught on Tape” this past spring after he filed for divorce and she began dating one-time flame Joey Buttafuoco.
“I did it out of the heat of anger and passion,” Bellera told The Post.
“We were estranged. She was seeing Joey. I was seething about the whole thing. It just came to a point where I was hurt and embarrassed by it . . . and it pressed the wrong button. I just used that as a vehicle to strike back at her.”
The couple reconciled this summer, and Bellera didn’t tell Fisher that he’d sold the sex tape to Red Light District Video until this month.
Fisher said she was willing to forgive her husband.
“We’ve been together for so many years and have had so many ups and downs,” she said. “. . . I don’t want to see it. It’s better for me if I just don’t think about it. I’m just going to hide in my house.”
Fisher said she’s going to make their marriage work.
“We have two beautiful children, and we have a nice life, so we have to think about that,” she said.
TV producer and family friend David Krieff said he understands why Fisher and Bellera are still together: “My heart goes out to any couple that felt love and then the pain of divorce. You hate each other, and anything can happen.”
Fisher said she never hesitated to let her videographer hubby take the sexy shots.
“It’s all fun and games,” she said. I never thought that . . . anything like this would ever happen.
“I mean,” she added, “that’s my husband, not some guy down the road.”
