Masika Kalysha has one less gig to her name.

The ‘Love & Hip-Hop’ star came under fire when she took to social media faking a kidnap plot to promote her OnlyFans account. Yes, OnlyFans.

Sporting painted-on bruises, she informed distressed viewers she was in danger and had been “beat really bad.” She added that “they are coming back.” 

As it turns out, it was nothing but a cheap (and tacky) ploy to drive attention in the direction of her pay-per-view page.

According to Kalysha, the approach wasn’t rooted in selfishness. Quite the contrary.

For, she claims it was themed after ‘Double Crossed’ – the TV show she’s currently filming about human trafficking.

Understandably, producers for the series didn’t see the humor in her behavior and have pulled her from the show.

Now, she’s issued an apology.
