Lisa Hype Sexsual TattooWhile the man in the picture cannot be seen, the tattooed female is clearly visible. According to the caption of the email, the man is also a popular figure from the same group. The picture appears to have been taken by a cellular phone and judging by the angle, was taken by the man receiving the sexual favour.
When contacted by THE STAR last night, the woman claimed to be unaware of the photo and said it would not be affecting her career. In terms of the other party said to be in the photo, she said: "Is mi boss, ma mentor. Mi nuh have nutten more to say ... . Mi just haffi prepare miself fi it."
When contacted, the male alleged to be in the picture did not respond.
Last year sex photos and a video of popular female figures were circulated and this is the latest along those lines.
Checks were made last night on the Internet and on the popular social networking website twitter.com and a number of persons had admitted to having received the photo.
Persons were speculating whether it was actually the female deejay, examining her distinctive tattoos and questioning how this will affect her musical career.
Lisa Hype issued the following statement today:
First, I would like to say that there is no excuse for a picture of that nature to be a part of the public domain. I admit that the picture is real, but it captures a personal act done in the privacy of my bedroom. I don't know how that got leaked to the media and condemn anyone who would stoop to such a low.
However, I understand that I am a public person, and when I say or do something, either articulated and thought out, it carries weight in the public arena. As a result, I must assume personal responsibility for my actions. I would like to apologise specifically to all my female fans who might be disappointed to see me in this light. However, I don't apologise for the act itself because it was done with a man that I truly and deeply love and respect, and it was done in the privacy of my bedroom. I did it, so what?
I would also like to apologise to my family who are truly and deeply hurt by the dissemination of the photo all over the Internet and the media. This is not cool. And this is not funny. This is my life that some unscrupulous person is attempting to destroy, but I am a strong young woman and I will survive. Many young women, like myself, have been exploited and hurt in this way and there comes a point in everyone's life when they have to stop allowing people to hurt them. I am begging young girls across Jamaica to use my life as an example: we live in a male-dominated society but don't allow men to use and abuse you. I have learned my lesson the hard way. The world is a tough classroom, sometimes.
In closing, I want to say thank you to all my young fans who have supported me in this, my darkest hour.
