London (ANI): Austin Powers star Verne Troyer's girlfriend, who featured in his infamous sex tape, has spoken out about her six-month fling with the actor and the sex tape row. Aspiring actress Ranae Shrider, who met the pint-size actor at Playboy owner Hugh Hefner's party, has parted ways with the actor after finding out that he had cheated on her many times. The couple''s first sex romp was two weeks after their first meeting.

"I never imagined one day I''d date a man who barely came up to my kneecaps. But as soon as I met Verne I was so captivated by his personality, his size didn''t seem to matter. I liked him so much I even gave up wearing high heels for six months. But sex was very different from anything I'd experienced before, and I''d be lying if I didn't say it was tricky making everything work. I had to kneel down just to give him a hug. And anything but the traditional missionary position was just impossible."

Talking about the sex tape Shrider revealed, when Verne asked her to star in his DIY sex video, she felt duty-bound to agree after being racked with guilt after he almost drowned during an attempted bath time romp. She said: "Without a doubt there's nothing Verne enjoys more than seeing himself on screen. Watching his own films is his favourite hobby. So it was no surprise when he asked if he could film us having sex. He said we could use it to get ourselves turned on."

Verne then turned director...telling her where he wanted furniture because he was too small to move it himself. She said: "Verne ordered champagne and strawberries to get us in the mood. Then we got down to it. "First the tape shows Verne pleasuring me for 15 minutes which was amazing. The next 45 minutes is us having sex. And we really enjoyed ourselves."

Ranae said: "Verne regularly drinks five beers at a time, which for a man his size is lethal. I''d tell him he''d had enough but his pals just told him to ignore me. In the end Verne put his friends before me and now it's over.

"We live in the same apartment but have separate rooms. I still care for Verne - but sadly Verne cares more about himself," she added.
