*Details surrounding a sex tape posted online by 50 Cent made a noticeable impression on jurors in a trial over a lawsuit filed against the rapper.
Page Six noted that tears were wiped away Monday (June 15) by the woman filing suit against 50, Lastonia Leviston, as her lawyer Philip Freidin described the graphic video, which included commentary from the G-Unit general that include a picking apart of Leviston’s physical flaws as well as him labeling her a “slut.”
During the opening remarks Leviston sat with her aunt, who was also crying. According to Page Six, two jurors grimaced and shifted uncomfortably in their seats as the description of the sex tape and 50’s commentary.
“The camera, of course, filmed her private parts,” Freidin told the five-woman, four-man jury.
“At some point [Jackson] starts describing her private parts in intimate detail in a way that none of us would want to happen. He makes reference to her stretch marks from her birth,” he said.
Monday’s opening remarks mark the latest development regarding 50 Cent. and Leviston, who says in her lawsuit that the entertainer nearly drove her to suicide. The suit stems from a private sex tape Leviston made in 2008 with her then boyfriend, a New Jersey man named Maurice Murray. As noted by Freidin, Murray sold the tape to 50.
In addition to the lawsuit, Leviston is known as the mother of a baby she had with 50’s rival Rick Ross. 50’s defense attorney, Jim Renard, countered Freidin’s argument while pointing out that Leviston modeled in a bikini for an escort service and was only going after the rapper’s “deep pockets.”
The three-week Manhattan-held trial is set to continue with jurors viewing the sex tape and hearing testimony from 50 and Leviston.
