According to CBS Los Angeles Singer Teairra Mari, a star of the show “Love & Hip Hop,” has filed a revenge porn lawsuit against rapper 50 Cent and her ex-boyfriend, alleging they leaked an intimate photo and video of her online.
In a news conference Thursday at the Woodland Hills office of celebrity attorney Lisa Bloom, the 30-year-old Mari claimed that her ex-boyfriend, Akbar Abdul-Ahad, posted the photo and video to her own Instagram account after she ended their relationship last week. She said Abdul-Ahad was able to do so because he had her Instagram password.
She said the content was posted after she broke up with him for discovering he had cheated on her.
“Right after that, he posted a sex tape and obscene photo of me,” Mari told reporters.
Mari also alleges that rapper 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III, and is a friend of Abdul-Ahad, re-posted one of the obscene photos on his own Instagram account with the words, “Get the strap.”
“Even after Instagram took the picture down, he had no remorse, no regard,” Mari said.
Bloom said the lawsuit was being filed Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
“We will be seeking a significant punitive damages award against him (50 Cent),” Bloom said Thursday.
