Mia Isabella Addresses Tyga Scandal in YouTube Video

NEW YORK—Transgender star Mia Isabella talks outwardly for the first time in a recently posted YouTube video about the controversy that has surrounded her since rumors surfaced this summer that she'd been involved in a secret affair with rapper Tyga. Focusing mainly on the struggles she's faced with public defamation because of her sexuality, Isabella maintains in the nearly 20-minute video, among other things, that she was forced to move due to press hounding her at her home, that she was "friends" with Tyga "for many years" before this scandal broke, and that she has at no point attempted to sell the story to any outlet nor profit from it in any way. "I don't know how many people could be as self-sacrificing as I have been," she says at one point. See the video here.
