Tisha Campbell recently claimed alleged sex traffickers tried to kidnap her in Texas, but according to local police, there is no evidence to back up her story.
The actress shared a video over the weekend detailing the alleged moment a man in a van approached her, demanding she gets into his car while she was waiting for her ride.
Campbell claims she repeatedly told them “no” and avoided being thrown into the van.
“This trafficking s**t is real, but they got me f**ked up,” she said. “This was a video I sent to my brother right after it happened, but I felt important for people to be aware. I need for everyone to be overly conscious of themselves and their loved ones.”
After sharing the details of her alleged kidnapping via social media, the police released a statement addressing the claim. “The Brownsville Police Department is committed to providing proactive, professional, and effective public safety. Regrettably, our department became aware of Ms. Campbell’s ordeal via social media and not through traditional reporting means as would be expected from a victim of an attempted heinous crime.”
The Police department quickly launched an investigation based on the facts presented by Campbell in her video and stated that “such cases are not the norm in our city.”
They claim to have conducted several interviews and viewed security camera footage. Still, they could not validate Ms. Campbell’s stay in Brownsville hotels “nor any other claims made in the video.”
The department also said they take “human trafficking and incidents such as the one Ms.Campbell reported seriously and welcome her to reach out to us to investigate further.”
Her rep later responded, claiming the incident did not happen in Brownsville. According to Campbell, the situation unfolded near a Mariott hotel at South Padre Island. She also provided the local police department with the number she was given during the “set up.”
One of Campbell’s followers backed up her claim, writing, ” Yes, sis they were about to get you. [I] just made six rescues this week, and they ALL gave me the same description.”
The local police in that city have yet to comment on the matter or confirm if Tisha had called them to report the alleged kidnapping.
