Love & Hip Hop Star Masika Kalysha Gets Fired From TV Show ‘Double Cross’ After Posting Kidnapping Stunt

After receiving a lot of backlash from her fake kidnapping video, Love & Hip Hop star Masika Kalysha took another blow when she was fired from the hit series ‘Double Cross.’

Earlier this week, the reality tv star faked her own kidnapping while on the set of the show.

According to the Blast, immediately after Masika posted the video on her Instagram account, the creator of the show, Christel Gibson, was bombarded with phone calls from people outside the set describing what Masika had done.

The stunt portrayed her crying and begging her followers to join her OnlyFans account and ‘tip’ her so that the kidnappers could take the money and free her.

The weird video was all fake, and many thought Masika was just doing it for attention. But she claims the only attention she was trying to get was for sex trafficking,  the subject that ironically the show ‘Double Cross’ covers. She also said she wanted to help raise money.

UMC Executives, who stream the series, did not take the stunt well; therefore, she was let go.

She has since issued the following statement, “While on set fully immersed in my character, for season two of Double Crossed, a show that bravely displays the reality and tragedy of human trafficking, I got caught up in the excitement of the moment and chose to use my platform to bring an essential topic to light by displaying my efforts to support the end of human trafficking. It is imperative that you understand the public’s safety and the victims are paramount to my actions. I made no money, nor was it ever my intent. With that being said, I am aware that the way I went about it was distasteful, and I apologize to anyone whom I have offended or hurt with my delivery. However, I am incredibly grateful that we now have an open dialogue to refocus our attention on what matters most. I urge everyone to join me in my efforts to bring awareness to this awful reality. But most importantly, I urge everyone to help put an end to human trafficking.”
