After a sex tape featuring Blac Chyna and an ex-boyfriend leaked online Monday, Feb. 19, her lawyer is calling on men to do their part to prohibit tapes like his from continuing to surface.

“We have to change this culture of abuse and assault against women,” attorney Walter Mosely said on Instagram Monday, Feb. 19 following a clip of Chyna having oral and penetrative sex leaking. “Why do we think it’s acceptable to sell or publish, or seek revenge, or blackmail women in this way and without their consent? It’s not. Men … we have to do better.

“I’m tired of telling my clients to not make videos because the men will put them out later,” he continued. “It’s like I’m telling them not to wear short skirts because you’re going to entice a man to rape you. …  So today I’m saying, men we need to do better. We need to tell each other to do better. We need to stop sharing these videos with each other in the club, at the barbershop or (and especially) online. It is a morally corrupt action, which is (at least in California) criminal. Maybe it is time to set an example.”

As a rep for Chyna confirmed to the New York Daily News that the beauty businesswoman plans to file a police report, attorney Lisa Bloom, who represented Chyna during her revenge porn case against Rob Kardashian, tweeted against sharing sex tapes on Monday.

“Revenge porn — posting explicit images without the consent of everyone in those images — is a crime, a civil wrong, and a form of domestic abuse,” said Bloom, who is reportedly representing Chyna in her present case. “It’s also a way to try to slut shame women for being sexual. Girls have killed themselves over revenge porn. It’s not a joke.”

Mechie, who claims he’s the one in the tape, told TMZ Tuesday, Feb. 20 that although he recorded him and Chyna in the act himself, he is upset that it got out.

His representatives said the recording was captured in July adding that it was recorded on Chyna’s phone and Mechie, who split with Chyna in August and hasn’t spoken to her since then, doesn’t know how it leaked as he didn’t have a copy of his own. Insiders say he plans to go to police himself and “wants the leaker found and prosecuted.”

Meanwhile, folks online have been sounding off on the tape.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
