Maybe, maybe not. As >>2180552 pointed out, the favorite method of detractors in ancient (and modern, really) times was to accuse them of various sexual improprieties. Oldest play in the book, really. It should always be taken with a grain of salt.

Remember with what glee Caesar's detractor's used to accuse him of taking it up the bum from Nicomedes of Bithynia? Stuff is great gossip and will travel fast.

It is not just mere slander of Procopius, Theodora was a prostitute. Literally the only sources which portray her background as decent are Miaphysitisites and even some non miaphysites admitted she was a whore like John of Ephesus
