Earlier this month Jackson filed for bankruptcy just three days after a court had ordered him to pay $5 million to woman whose sex tape he shared online in 2009 without her consent. The woman in question, Lastonia Leviston, was a former girlfriend of 50’s rap rival Rick Ross.
According to the New York Daily News the jury decided that Jackson had violated Leviston’s right to privacy when he posted the video, which went viral and was eventually watched by millions of people.
