“I am here, standing tall, and with my head held high,” Ladera wrote. “For me. For my family. And for all the women who have been victims of a narcissist”
Venezuelan influencer Isabella Ladera is accusing her ex, the singer Beéle, of leaking a sex video of the two of them without her consent. In a statement posted Monday afternoon, Ladera said she would be pursuing legal action against the singer, whose real name is Brandon de Jesús López Orozco, and said she was speaking out to stand up for women “who have been victims of a narcissist.”
“I am profoundly devastated. An intimate and private moment was leaked without my consent, an act that is one of the cruelest betrayals I’ve lived,” she alleged. “That video was only in the hands of two people: the other person and me.”
In her lengthy and emotional statement, Ladera called López Orozco someone who “lied to me from the start” and “never tried to protect me,” claiming that he purposefully leaked the video while she was in the process of “reconstruction” following their break-up in July 2024.
López Orozco has yet to address the accusation nor the leak online. Reps for the singer did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone‘s request for comment.
“This act doesn’t just put my privacy at risk, it also goes against my dignity and has caused me immense pain to me and my family,” she wrote, describing the act as an example of violence against women. “The worst part has been receiving hate and judgment while the real person responsible remains silent.”
Ladera stood firm that she “won’t allow this to destroy” her. “I am not the first, nor the only one. I am not the one to be ashamed in this story,” she wrote. “The shame falls on the person who betrayed. I am here, standing tall, and with my head held high. For me. For my family. And for all the women who have been victims of a narcissist.”
Ladera ended her statement by saying she will take legal action and that she “will not hide” amid the online conversation. “My value is not defined by a video, nor the cruelty of others,” she wrote. “My story does not end here.”
