Venezuelan influencer Isabella Ladera has broken her silence following the leak of an intimate video featuring her and Colombian singer Beéle engaging in sexual activity. The footage, which surfaced on social media recently, has sparked widespread commentary and controversy across digital platforms.
In a lengthy statement shared on her social media accounts, Ladera expressed that she is "deeply devastated," labeling the leak as one of the most "cruel betrayals" she has experienced. She directly blamed Beéle, asserting that he was the only other person with access to the video. "That video was only in the hands of two people: the other person and me," she wrote, without explicitly naming the singer but making it clear whom she was referring to. "A person who lied to me from the start... and never stepped up to protect me."
The influencer mourned the fact that, despite being in the process of emotional recovery, this individual chose to "expose her in the lowest way," violating her privacy and dignity. Ladera condemned such actions as a form of violence against women and criticized how often the burden of shame and judgment falls on the victim rather than the one who breached trust. "The shame falls on the betrayer. I stand here, with my head held high," she declared resolutely.
Furthermore, Ladera announced that she has initiated legal proceedings and is receiving guidance to take judicial action. She emphasized that she will not hide and intends to continue fulfilling her professional and personal commitments regardless of the situation. "My worth is not defined by a video, nor by the cruelty of others. My story does not end here," she concluded.
Her legal team described the video leak as a "severe violation of fundamental rights" and clarified that the unauthorized dissemination of the content is a crime. They stated that any attempts to portray Ladera as responsible are part of a defamation strategy that "lacks any truth." The statement also mentioned that legal actions are already underway to identify those accountable, and appropriate sanctions will be enforced.
As of the time this article was written, Beéle had not issued any public statements regarding the accusation or the video leak.
