Lastonia "Stoni" Leviston is opening up about her past.
In the first episode of Netflix's new series W.A.G.s to Riches, the fashion entrepreneur and mom of one emotionally looked back on her sex tape scandal from the early 2010s that involved a guy she was seeing at the time as well as rapper 50 Cent after the latter allegedly leaked it online.
Leviston is the ex-girlfriend of Rick Ross, who has notoriously had longstanding beef with the "In da Club" artist (né Curtis Jackson) throughout their professional music careers. While the origin of their feud is murky, the sex tape leak escalated their dispute.
At one point during the episode, Leviston discussed her relationship status while speaking with fellow cast member Alexis Welch Stoudemire over lunch in Miami, revealing that she and Ross are no longer dating.
"My baby daddy is the one and only Rick Ross. Our daughter is 22 years old, but I left Ross when she was two years old," Leviston said in a confessional in reference to their firstborn Toie, who they welcomed together in March 2002.

Leviston and Stoudemire, who's the ex-wife of basketball legend and Olympian Amarâe Stoudemire, went on to discuss their dating lives and whether they are currently seeing anyone. For Leviston, she expressed why it's challenging for her.
"It's so difficult because I still reside in a home that my baby father, Rick, owns... I feel like I'm in a luxury prison, almost," she told Stoudemire. She reflected on the beginning of her relationship with Ross before it took an emotional turn that "still haunts" her today.
"I donât even know how that fat boy wooed me off my feet, but he did," Leviston said of Ross. "I went home with him the first night. I thought I was his Lil Kim and he was my Biggie!"
Then, Leviston brought up the sex tape scandal that not only impacted their relationship but largely affected her personal life. "Things happen that Rick isnât so happy about, the sex tape, you know?â she told Stoudemire, before explaining the details of what had happened with her then-boyfriend Maurice Murray.

"So I was dating this guy a long long time ago after I ended my relationship with Rick Ross,â Leviston explained, noting that her partner at the time was "into videotaping." âHe didnât even really ask. He would just pull [the camera] out."
"Never once in my brain thought that I would have sex with him on tape," Leviston continued. "I didnât feel unsafe at the time. I felt like I was happy. I was like, âI just fâed my man on cameraâ,â she recalled. âIâm trying to show him⊠how much love I have for him,â she explained.
âSo, I did the tape. Things got rocky. [He] started cheating, so I outed him to the other girl," said Leviston of the guy she was seeing at the time. "In the height of the breakup, the beef started between Rick and 50 Cent."
Leviston claims, "Long story short, my ex, the guy that was in the sex tape, heâs bitter. So he actually goes and sells the tape to 50 Cent. And then 50 Cent released it⊠itâs petty and it still haunts me to this day." 50 Cent alleged during the course of a lawsuit that Murray brought the tape to him.
A civil suit was filed by Leviston in 2010 after a video featuring a wig-wearing 50 Cent narrating an intimate video of her and a former partner (not Ross) was posted online in 2009, reported The Washington Post. (Murray's face was reportedly blurred in the clip).
In the suit, per the outlet, Leviston alleged that 50 Cent uploaded the altered clip without her permission after getting it from the other person in the video. In addition, a link was provided to a different site that had the entire video available for viewing.
In 2015, a jury sided with Leviston, and 50 Cent was ordered to pay her $5 million. At the time, attorney William A. Brewer III said in a statement to AP News that 50 Cent and his legal team were âdisappointed in the verdict but very appreciative of the service of the jury and the court.â The lawsuit forced the rapper to file for bankruptcy, as reported by The Wall Street Journal at the time.
In another lawsuit filed that year, per The Washington Post, 50 Cent accused Ross of being responsible for leaking the full video online first. Per the outlet, Ross's lawyer previously called that suit a "desperate" attempt to "avoid and deflect legal and financial responsibility."

After explaining the sex tape scandal to Stoudemire in the episode, Leviston opened up about the emotional toll it had on her life over the years. "I was collateral damage in a need that I had nothing to do with,â she said of the revenge porn, breaking down in tears.
"In that second my whole life changed,â Leviston said in a confessional recalling when the sex tape was released online. "I became suicidal. I didnât want to live anymore. I felt like I was damaged goods. Like no man would ever love me again. I felt like I had let my kids down tremendously."
She added, "I know people in the group could be looking at me differently, all because I was trying to show a man how much I loved him."
Leviston's reputation is a recurring topic of conversation among the other W.A.G.s in the cast. "This friend group could be extremely judgey," she says at one point in the episode.
