Now would I wish a sex tape leak on any one? Absolutely not. But in the real world our actions have consequences and this is one of the unfortunate side effects of promoting degeneracy. Not only do you create a negative image of yourself - you also create a circle of individuals who prey off of and find like company in the negativity.
The keyword in all of this is accountability which is far too few are willing to have a conversation about.
While she may truly be heartbroken behind the endeavor it is hard to find empathy when the tape is not too far removed from what she displays in her music videos. For me to personally feel sorry I would need to see a 180-degree transformation similar to that of Black Chyna.

Every saw a song with explicit lyrics and wondered "who would create something so foul" well look no further than the music executive that cleared the budget for it. The same music executive that will often pass on Black rappers with positive messages out of the racist belief that Black people only want degeneracy and debauchery.
While the larger society likes to point at the Sexyy Red's as the exemplar of Black people and Black culture it's in all actuality a reflection of the USA and its lust for violence, sexuality, and confusion.

So Is Sexyy Red a Victim?

She professes degeneracy, hangs around other professors of degeneracy, and now has to reap the consequences of said actions. It is no different than your run-of-mill thug rapper succumbing to the violence they rap incessantly about.
