“I had just gotten married and given birth, so I told him I would do it for him—as a vixen,” she explained. At the time, she was only 18 years old. “We shot the video, and it went viral. My husband didn’t give me permission, and my family was also unaware of it,” she continued. “They only found out after it was released, and my religion does not permit such roles.”

She described the severe backlash from her real husband: “It was a disaster. He beat me, and then my dad beat me. That’s how it went.”
Despite the video’s popularity, she has not been paid for her appearance. “He was my friend,” she said, shaking her head. “He didn’t pay me. We did it as friends. He just said, ‘Come, my child,’ so I went.”
