REBECCA REINHART’S JOURNEY TO TAKE BACK CONTROL OF HER LIFE AFTER A personal SEX TAPE WAS PUBLISHED WITHOUT HER CONSENT ON MAJOR PORNOGRAPHY SITES
In 2018 Rebecca received a phone call that changed her life forever; a friend informing her he'd seen a personal sex tape of her online. The tape had been leaked to one of the biggest porn sites in the world and, at that moment, it had over half a million views and was available for download. Rebecca had become an unintentional porn star. This campaign documents the journey Rebecca has embarked on to take back control of her life legally, mentally, and spiritually. "Overcome adversity through unconditional love."

"I knew it was important to drudge through the process authentically. I was aware that in order to finally heal from this, I had to live my truth every step of the way. With such a sticky subject at hand, I recognized that my decision to talk about the sex tape was going to cause a lot of controversy. It was one of the most difficult times of my life, and was extremely messy, but I am proud to say that my fight brought me to a place of greater love for myself and others."

At the beginning when she first encountered the tape online in 2013, she gulped down feelings of fear, shame and anger, and on the advice of the police, quietly emailed the site to get it taken down. Throughout her twenties, the video continued to spread onto multiple sites. She was unable to control it, and it was controlling her. That’s when her tactic changed.
Older, wiser, and sick of putting up with the bullshit, she turned and faced it head on. She lawyered up, and got loud about being a victim of revenge porn. Rebecca does not hold back as she candidly describes her personal pain. Battling feelings of embarrassment, she struggles to embrace a new reality as a fighter, seeking justice in a system that is still figuring out how to protect women’s right to their own sexuality.
Her desperate need to “just feel better” is relatable, insightful and at times, uncomfortably raw. Rebecca can go from crying to laughing in a blink. And with the help of so many incredible humans, this campaign unearths it all.

SEE THE REAL-TIME MOMENTS FROM HER SOCIAL MEDIA OUTLETS
"I LIVED AT THE DANCE STUDIO DURING THIS JOURNEY. DANCE WAS MY EVERYTHING! DANCE WAS MY FRIEND, MY THERAPY, MY SANITY, MY BREATH, AND MY HEALING. MY ART WASN'T ABOUT TECHNIQUE OR PLEASING ANYBODY, IT WAS SOLELY ABOUT RELEASING THE WILD EMOTIONS THAT RAGED THROUGH ME."

Rebecca is a dancer and choreographer first - an artist. It was through the incredible medium of YouTube that she blended her rule breaking ambitions with dance to remain sane during such an insane period of her life. Rebecca created with zero inhibition. It was essential for her to keep her playfulness alive as the life was sucked out of her. Dancing was one of the only ways she knew how to regain control of her life.

It was strongly suggested that Rebecca remain off social media for a certain time period. With the success of her case(s) on the line, Rebecca was determined to regain her mental and emotional strength. Unsure of how she would achieve this goal, she used her art to 'rebel' against those who were inadvertently telling her to remain unhappy and quiet. See how Rebecca cautiously, but sometimes very loudly, powered through the mess to become a completely new version of herself.

READ ABOUT HER JOURNEY TOWARDS SELF LOVE |
"The publishing of the sex tape without my consent blew my entire life into pieces. I chose to rebuild my life partly because I felt I had no other option. I knew that with my fierce determination, I would somehow improve my life. And I did.
This is my story whether I like it or not. I have been told by a wise woman that this sex tape is not only out of my control but is completely out of control - and will continue to infinitely grow this way. Sex is beautiful. Sex is wild, powerful, and fun! I will remain proud forever, and I will have children one day to openly talk about this with. I warmly welcome uncomfortable conversations because I want shed light on the subject and help improve the lives of others. Sex evokes strong emotions in all of us. If we are uncomfortable with the subject, future generations will follow in the same footsteps and possibly become confused. My goodness, the province I was living in at the time took away sex education in schools! This is one example that supports the extreme dissatisfaction we have built around sex. Let's be real. Sexual desires affect all of us! Sex sells and at times, sex can be THE driving force for our emotions and reactions. I have always loved sex and have circumstantially attracted interesting situations into my life. Deep down I knew it was okay to love sex, but I was told by society that a) sex is uncomfortable to talk about and b) I am a woman, so I am not allowed to be extremely sexual without being deemed a slut. Throughout my struggles, I knew I wanted to help others in some capacity. I embarked upon a wildly deep journey to solidify the love I held for myself. Self-love is hard work! I learned a lot from immense challenges and have since created workshops to help people embrace their own fierce level of self-love. It is called 'The Human Advantage'. I want to help people find a healthy balance in life, and establish opportunities to transmute their energy positively through art. Overall, these challenges have created more balance in my life, and I will work to help others achieve this balance in their lives as well! |
ABOUT THE CREATOR
Rebecca Reinhart is a driven-ass woman (or simply an ass woman) who kicked life in the pants before fully understanding what she was doing. During some moments in her life 'kicking ass' was the universe kicking her down, but she never let that stop her. In fact, she studied those moments very deeply in order to find ways to make them positive.
Rebecca had an innate feeling that she was destined for big, bold and beautiful things - and she also knew that every single human held their own power to change the world in the most beautiful ways. Along her journey to becoming a self-loving beast-of-a-human she wrote a book on how NOT to become an artist. Being an artist was all that she ever was, and she constantly fought to become one. Eventually embracing her inner voice, she was faced with society’s negative views of womanhood (she was repeatedly told that she only belonged in the kitchen and that she wasn't feminine enough).
Almost every aspect of her life seemed to involve some sort of challenge. Even being a choreographer held its challenges. Choreographers are still placed on the 'other' column on IMDB, even if the film is entirely movement and dance based. Becoming an unintentional porn star by having a sex tape released without her consent was no exception to the challenges she faced. With a lot of fuel for her fire, she let it guide her towards a place of greater inner strength.
Rebecca now accepts her dreams as her reality - no matter what. And now she wants to help you become YOUR best version of yourself! She cannot wait to be inspired by you!
