GistReel reports that influencer and actress Papaya Ex became emotional after alleging that her YouTube manager deleted her movie Spotlight, which she said had accumulated 2.7 million views and about 10,000 comments.
She described the loss as devastating and said she had invested substantial effort in the project.
Spice Radio separately reported the alleged deletion and identified the film as The Spotlight. QED.NG also carried the claim, saying her YouTube manager “allegedly deleted” the movie.
Echotitbits take: This remains an allegation from Papaya Ex unless YouTube records or the manager’s account independently establish what happened. The business lesson is clearer: creators with valuable channels need strong access controls, ownership documentation and recovery procedures.
