The Wave Of Leaks Heats Up
There have been other incidents involving Pakistani TikTok creators in what is now the alleged video with Onic. Last week, there was a scandal involving Imsha Rehman after the latter’s intimate session, apparently with her, surfaced online. Rehman was accused of deliberately leaking the footage so she gets more attention and followers.
Adding fuel to the speculation, screenshots of Rehman’s TikTok bio revealed her speaking on the scandal. She wrote, “While the video is viral, I have deactivated my account.” This statement has been a source of debate, with some accusing her of using this controversy for publicity.
A Pattern of Controversies
There is another similar case. A girl named Meenahil Malik created a controversy in October when her private video with her boyfriend went viral on the internet. Such a video surfaced creating mixed feelings among the viewers who tagged it as a publicity stunt and others supporting her amid this situation.
Pakistani actress Mishi Khan has condemned Malik. Speaking without identifying the TikToker, she mentioned that for fame, she had crossed all limits. Making a video statement, Khan drew an analogy between the issue of Malik and one in the Bollywood movie Heroine. In the movie, starring Kareena Kapoor Khan as the lead, she leaked her intimate video to gain popularity when her film was about to hit the cinemas.

Psychological Effect and Public Reaction
Malik, who received criticisms and support alike, finally spoke out through Instagram. In a sweet post, she wrote this: “This wasn’t easy for me, but I’m over it now. Saying goodbye is hard. No fights. Spread love. I’m leaving. I’ll miss you. I love you. Take care.” While some perceive this as a scheme to gain sympathy, others believe it is a true telling of her battles.
Why are these scandals on the rise?
The growth of such instances raises more questions regarding the impulse behind such leaks and circumstances. Are they intentional publicity stunts or incidental invasions of privacy?
- Publicity Stunts
As some critics claim, some celebrities have turned video leaks into a self-publicity stunt to gain more popularity. After all, in this age of popularity-based fame and wealth through social media metrics, it is a matter of a night that may shoot a star to fame overnight. - Cyber Infiltrations
Some of these celebrities are victims of privacy breaches because personal devices have been the best target for hackers and the chance of sensitive content leaking is high. - Cultural Sensitivity
Reaction to these scandals also showcases cultural values. In conservative societies, such incidents cause severe backlash to the victim’s mental and career life.
Role of Social Media It seems that these controversies are a form of amplification tool for social media platforms. The viral content spreads with no verification and context given. This fuels the speculations and lets the concerned persons experience scrutiny and trolling endlessly.
What to be Done Lydia Onic
To put a halt to this disturbing trend, a few steps must be taken:
Strengthen Cyber Security: Celebrities should ensure that their devices and online accounts don’t get breached. Accountability towards the Social Media Platform (Instagram)- online platforms must become more stringent while checking the circulation of obscene and slanderous material.
Increasing Awareness Among the Public: informing of ethical implications among the users would reduce the virality.
A Call for Empathy
While one may quickly find a seat in judgment, it is good to remember that these issues have far-reaching psychological impacts on the victims themselves. Instead of fueling the frenzy, society should adopt a more caring approach, support its victims, and not victimize them.
The recent spate of leaked MMS scandals Lydia Onic shines a light on the dark underside of celebrity culture and a world increasingly constituted around digital thinking. If the litmus test for privacy in celebrity culture has now reached the public’s personal lives, it’s high time stricter measures of privacy and responsible social media usage are called for.
The silence of Lydia Onic, Imsha Rehman’s apparent self-promotion, and Meenahil Malik’s emotional leaving behind through a farewell are the interlinks of complicated fame, controversy, and human vulnerability. The answer remains: Will the industry learn from these incidents, or will this disturbing pattern just grow stronger?
By accepting a culture of accountability, empathy, and privacy, maybe we can envision a future where fame does not have to come at the cost of dignity.
