Masika Kalysha faces backlash for fake kidnapping to promote ‘Only Fans’ account

Former Love and Hip Hop star, Masika Kalysha is being dragged on social media for posting a video on Instagram where she acted out a scene pretending to be a victim of human trafficking. The video was made to get donations for her “Only Fans” account alongside the R.O.S.E. Organization. R.O.S.E. is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping women and children who are victims of sexual trafficking and exploitation. Toni Rivera, the president of the organization responded to followers claiming she never approved of the video.

In the video, Masika is dressed in a bra and panty, and has what appears to be bruises on her body while crying because she’s been “kidnapped.” She describes how she’s being held hostage in “a warehouse somewhere” and the only way they’ll set her free is if people donate money to her ‘Only Fans’ account. After being heavily criticized from followers who called the act “insensitive” and “tone deaf”, she then posted a second video stating that she did it to add a “shock factor”, and to direct everyone’s attention to the R.O.S.E. Organization in order to get more information on how to end child and human sex trafficking.

Rivera then responded to the video by posting her own video on the organization’s Instagram, claiming that she never approved the video, and they are not collaborating with Masika to receive donations from “Only Fans.”

Masika clapped back by posting a screenshot of what appeared to be a letter from them stating that she is actually on the board of the ROSE Organization. She then mentioned in the caption that she is stepping down from her position. The president claimed that the reality star’s screenshot wasn’t authentic because she never saw it and it wasn’t on her  letterhead.

She then slammed Masika for triggering her audience about sex trafficking and using it to promote “Only Fans,” which is a platform she does not condone. Masika didn’t let that stop her because she pulled out more receipts, and this time it was screen recording of the letter she allegedly got from the company, and text messages of what look liked her communicating with other board members. Rivera, has not yet responded to those accusations.

Masika filmed the controversial video while on set of the new UMC show “Double Cross.” The show will shed light on sex trafficking. UMC has now released a statement that they will be parting ways with Masika and immediately recasting her role.

The R.O.S.E. Organization was established to provide the essentials needed for women and children who are victims of trafficking and is dedicated to ensure that missing trafficked women and children are valued and their humanity restored; and if possible, returned to their families.
