‘Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood’ star Teairra Marí announced she’ll be suing ex-boyfriend Akbar Abdul-Ahad and his “good friend” (not to mention, deep-pocketed friend) 50 Cent for allegedly sharing sexually explicit images of her on Instagram.
A teary-eyed Marí appeared at a news conference on Thursday alongside attorneys Lisa Bloom and Walter Mosley to share how betrayed she felt after Abdul-Ahad allegedly logged into her Instagram account recently to share a “sex tape and obscene photo” of her.
Apparently her “power attorneys” don’t understand the definition of “obscenity”. Oh, that’s right, they do but just don’t care because of the rhetorical and emotional value of using the term. #ethics
Revenge porn
“He had my Instagram password, so he posted them on my Instagram to make me look terrible,” Marí said at the conference. “Of course, I was horrified.”
According to the New York Post‘s Page Six
“I was compromised by someone who I thought loved me as much as I loved him,” Marí said at the news conference in Los Angeles.
Rapper 50 Cent then allegedly reposted the image on his own account.
“50 Cent has 18 million followers, so I was devastated and to make it even worse, even after Instagram took the picture down he had no remorse, no regard,” Marí continued. “He posted another photo and complained Instagram was censoring him.”
Bloom said the lawsuit, which is expected to be filed in California today, would seek an award of “significant punitive damages” against both Abdul-Ahad and 50 Cent.
“She does not consent and never did consent to the posting of these images,” Bloom added, noting that revenge porn is a crime in the state of California.
Ahead of the news conference, 50 Cent shared a picture of himself with Bloom’s famous-attorney mother Gloria Allred and wrote, “Oh Lisa stop, ? don’t make me tell your mom.”
Abdul-Ahas, composed a cryptic Instagram post this morning that read in part, “Truth is everybody is going to hurt you: you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.”
