In the first episode of Netflix’s new seriesW.A.G.s to Riches, the fashion entrepreneur and mom of one emotionally looked back on hersex tape scandalfrom the early 2010s that involved a guy she was seeing at the time as well as rapper50 Centafter the latter allegedly leaked it online.

Leviston is the ex-girlfriend of Rick Ross, who has notoriously had longstanding beef with the “In da Club” artist (né Curtis Jackson) throughout their professional music careers. While the origin of their feud is murky, the sex tape leak escalated their dispute.

At one point during the episode, Leviston discussed her relationship status while speaking with fellow cast member Alexis Welch Stoudemire over lunch in Miami, revealing that she and Ross are no longer dating.

Leviston and Stoudemire, who’s theex-wifeof basketball legend and OlympianAmar’e Stoudemire, went on to discuss their dating lives and whether they are currently seeing anyone. For Leviston, she expressed why it’s challenging for her.

“I don’t even know how that fat boy wooed me off my feet, but he did,” Leviston said of Ross. “I went home with him the first night. I thought I was his Lil Kim and he was my Biggie!”

Then, Leviston brought up the sex tape scandal that not only impacted their relationship but largely affected her personal life. “Things happen that Rick isn’t so happy about, the sex tape, you know?” she told Stoudemire, before explaining the details of what had happened with herthen-boyfriend Maurice Murray.

“So I was dating this guy a long long time ago after I ended my relationship with Rick Ross,” Leviston explained, noting that her partner at the time was “into videotaping.” “He didn’t even really ask. He would just pull [the camera] out.”

“Never once in my brain thought that I would have sex with him on tape,” Leviston continued. “I didn’t feel unsafe at the time. I felt like I was happy. I was like, ‘I just f—ed my man on camera’,” she recalled. “I’m trying to show him… how much love I have for him,” she explained.

“So, I did the tape. Things got rocky. [He] started cheating, so I outed him to the other girl,” said Leviston of the guy she was seeing at the time. “In the height of the breakup, the beef started between Rick and 50 Cent.”

Leviston claims, “Long story short, my ex, the guy that was in the sex tape, he’s bitter. So he actually goes and sells the tape to 50 Cent. And then 50 Cent released it… it’s petty and it still haunts me to this day.” 50 Cent alleged during the course of a lawsuit that Murray brought the tape to him.

In the suit, per the outlet, Leviston alleged that 50 Cent uploaded the altered clip without her permission after getting it from the other person in the video. In addition, a link was provided to a different site that had the entire video available for viewing.

In another lawsuit filed that year, perThe Washington Post, 50 Cent accused Ross of being responsible for leaking the full video online first. Per the outlet, Ross’s lawyer previously called that suita “desperate” attemptto “avoid and deflect legal and financial responsibility.”

After explaining the sex tape scandal to Stoudemire in the episode, Leviston opened up about the emotional toll it had on her life over the years. “I was collateral damage in a need that I had nothing to do with,” she said of the revenge porn, breaking down in tears.

“In that second my whole life changed,” Leviston said in a confessional recalling when the sex tape was released online. “I became suicidal. I didn’t want to live anymore. I felt like I was damaged goods. Like no man would ever love me again. I felt like I had let my kids down tremendously.”

She added, “I know people in the group could be looking at me differently, all because I was trying to show a man how much I loved him.”

Leviston’s reputation is a recurring topic of conversation among the other W.A.G.s in the cast. “This friend group could be extremely judgey,” she says at one point in the episode.
