Blac Chyna’s lawyer and representative are reportedly receiving death threats in the wake of her high-profile revenge porn investigation.

According to TMZ, lawyer Lisa Bloom and representative Walter Mosley have been getting threats via Instagram and email. The threats are against not just the two of them but also against their families because of their decision to represent Blac Chyna as well as their refusal to pass on a letter to her.

TMZ also reported that one letter to Bloom read, “My member is searching for you. If he finds you I gave him instructions already not to kill you but beat you bloody.”

Bloom’s daughter was also threatened: “I will have 5 men rape your daughter by gunpoint at he address by the end of this week.”

The LAPD is now investigating.

Speaking out against revenge porn

A sex tape featuring Blac Chyna leaked online over the weekend and sparked controversy and outrage.

On Monday morning, an anonymous Twitter user posted the video, which reportedly showed Chyna engaging in oral sex with a man. And as the footage began trending immediately, Bloom slammed the post on Twitter.

“Revenge porn — posting explicit images without the consent of everyone in those images — is a crime, a civil wrong, and a form of domestic abuse,” Bloom wrote. “It’s also a way to try to slut shame women for being sexual. Girls have killed themselves over revenge porn. It’s not a joke.”

It doesn’t matter, Bloom added, if the people in a tape consented to being recorded. What does matter is whether they consented to sharing that recording with the rest of the world.

“Our bodies, our choice, each and every time,” Bloom said.

Mosley echoed Bloom’s sentiments in a statement to People in which he described the leaked tape as “just another attack against a woman.”

“There’s not enough information right now to even know what happened,” he said. “An anonymous source posted a tape—could be from an ex-boyfriend, or stolen, someone texting it to someone else. It’s upsetting and troubling.”
