Venezuelan influencer Isabella Ladera is facing a woman’s worst nightmare. Someone leaked a video of Ladera in an intimate act. Ladera spoke out about the video and refused to let it be the most defining moment of her story. Her incident resonates with women who have experienced the same revenge porn invasion of privacy. Ladera accuses her ex-boyfriend, Colombian singer Beéle, whose real name is Brandon de Jesús López Orozco, on social media.

Isabella Ladera is speaking out after someone leaked an intimate video

In a statement to social media, influencer Isabella Ladera addressed the recent leaked video. The influencer, with millions of followers on TikTok and Instagram, spoke from her chest when she called out the violating leak.

“I am deeply devastated. An intimate and private moment was leaked without my consent, in an act that represents one of the cruelest betrayals I have ever experienced. That video was only in the hands of two people: the other person and me,” Ladera wrote on Instagram. “A person who lied to me from the beginning, who witnessed how I faced painful consequences because of them, and still never stepped up to protect me.”

Ladera says that seeing her rebuilding made him jealous, so he tried to embarrass her. The video caused harm to her and her family.

She lays out how the leak is an attack, not just on her, but on women. The man she accuses of posting the video has remained silent, and she acknowledges that it is up to the woman to speak out. She promised that she would not let the incident silence her or end her career.

Isabella Ladera added, “I am taking legal action and receiving advice to proceed through the appropriate channels. I will not hide either. I have work commitments and personal responsibilities that require my presence on digital platforms, and I will continue to fulfill them. My worth is not defined by a video, nor by the cruelty of others. My story does not end here.”

The story is a reminder of the fight against revenge porn

Revenge porn has been ruining people’s lives for decades. The most famous case was against Hunter Moore and Charles Evens in connection with IsAnyoneUp. The website allowed people to submit nude photos and would connect users to social media profiles and display information like name, employer, and address.

Moore and Evens pleaded guilty in 2015 to a list of charges. Moore pleaded guilty of aggravated identity theft and aiding and abetting in the unauthorized access of a computer. Evens pleaded guilty to computer hacking and identity theft. He also confessed to hacking women’s email accounts to steal photos that he would sell to Moore. In 2022, Netflix released “The Most Hated Man on the Internet,” a three-part docu-series about IsAnyoneUp’s founder Moore.

A decade later, on April 28, 2025, Congress passed S. 146, the TAKE IT DOWN Act. President Donald Trump signed the bill into law. The TAKE IT DOWN Act criminalizes the “nonconsensual publication of intimate images” of people, including deep fakes. Despite the law, there are still victims of revenge porn.

Cases of revenge porn have been rising steadily over the years. According to one study, there was a 400 percent surge in reported incidents between 2016 and 2019. In response to this growing issue, New Jersey became the first state to make revenge porn a criminal offense in 2004. Lawmakers passed the federal TAKE IT DOWN Act to unify and support state efforts that prevent unauthorized sharing of explicit images.
