50 Cent, Rick Ross Sex Tape Feud: Florida Mom Testifies '21 Questions' Rapper Took Dignity Wih Release of Doctored Video
A Florida mother of two teenage daughters testified on Monday that rapper 50 Cent stripped her of her dignity as part of his ongoing beef with nemesis Rick Ross by posting her private sex tape online for millions to view.
"It was like someone had just took a knife, stabbed me in the heart, twisted it and took it out," The New York Daily News reported Lastonia Leviston told the jury hearing testimony in her civil rights suit against the "21 Questions" rapper. She later added she never gave the rapper permission to publish the video and since he took the liberty of doing so it has put "a cloud over me."
At the time he posted the tape, 50 Cent, born Curtis Jackson, was in a running feud with Ross, Leviston's ex-boyfriend and the father of one of her daughters. In an apparent effort to humiliate Ross, 50 is accused of editing his alter ego, Pimpin' Curly', into the place of the man Leviston was actually being intimate with and providing a nasty, running commentary of their encounter.
Leviston told her attorney Phillip Freidin that she actually made the tape with then-fiance Maurice Murray in June of 2008 as "a token of my love for him." She said the two were only able to see one another one week a month because he lived in New Jersey and she resided in Florida.
"When I was away, he could see me (on tape), hear me, be close to me," she explained. Under cross-examination, however, she admitted that she was only on her second date with Murray when they made the tape.
Murray later gave the tape to Jackson in February of 2009. "He betrayed me," she said of her ex. "But what Mr. Jackson did ... it's never gonna go away."
