Safaree is not having it following the alleged leak of a private video of himself along with Instagram influencer Kimbella Matos. The reality star has gone into damage control mode after going viral on social media.
He has claimed that he will be taking legal action against the person who released the private video, leaving netizens mocking him relentlessly. As they trolled him on Twitter, one of the users said, "How are you going to press charges on yourself?"
The Love & Hip Hop Atlanta star made headlines recently after an intimate video of him with Kimbella Matos was teased online. A shortened version of the video was released on Twitter before directing followers to their Patreon page to access the entire video.
It remains unclear who was responsible for allegedly leaking the video. Safaree took to his Twitter account on August 12 announcing that he will be taking “full legal and criminal action.” He also claimed that he is “not letting this 1 slide.”
Netizens react to Safaree’s tweet
Several netizens found the 41-year-old’s statement hilarious as they believed that he was the person behind the video making its way online.
Internet users fired at the Brooklyn-native stating that he was saying that he would take legal action online as he didn't receive the expected reaction from the video.
Here are a few tweets about the television personality's online declaration.
At the time of writing this article, Kimbella Matos had not reacted to the video leak, and it remains unclear as to who "leaked" the video online.
Netizens point fingers at Erica Mena following video leak
Some netizens believe that the reality star’s ex-wife Erica Mena is the person behind the video being leaked.
The duo have been involved in a heated public feud in recent weeks where Mena slammed Matos and called her a "prostitute." She also attacked her ex-husband for dating the influencer while he was married to her. However, all of these statements remain unverified.
Safaree Lloyd Samuels married Erica Mena in 2019 and called it quits in 2021. The two are parents to Safire Majesty Samuels and Legend Brian Samuels. TMZ reported that Mena has asked for primary custody of their one-year-old daughter and child support.
As the pair are parting ways, their former Georgia residence was sold to TV executive and producer Carlos King for $1.3 million.
