Ross' Ex Identified In 50 Cent Sex Tape Scandal

The In Da Club hitmaker - real name Curtis Jackson - is facing legal action from Lastonia Leviston, who alleges he unlawfully released her homemade sex clip on the internet after editing himself into the video.

Leviston claims she and former boyfriend Ross made the tape on 30 June 2008, and he promised to destroy it, according to the New York Post.

But Ross allegedly sold the tape to Jackson, who posted it on his website during a feud with Ross last March (09), blurring out the rapper's face while altering the footage to depict himself wearing a curly wig and blue robe.

The suit also charges Jackson with making false allegations that Leviston was a prostitute, alleging the rapper "discussed the video and referred to (Leviston) as 'Brooke' and called her a 'call girl' more than once" during a December 2009 radio interview.

Leviston is suing for unauthorised use of her name or image, as well as emotional distress caused by the public release of the clip.
