Video Vixen Star Shares Recovery Update After Incident With Qwella

 

Jamaican video vixen Star has shared updates on her condition following an alleged assault by dancehall artist Qwella. The incident, which gained widespread attention through a viral video, has sparked growing calls for increased protection for women working in the entertainment industry.

Star, whose Instagram handle is @star-doll5, revealed via her Stories that she suffered bruises, a broken bone, and brain damage as a result of the altercation. She continues to post supportive messages from fans and artists, including fellow dancehall artiste Jamal, who publicly denounced the attack and voiced his support for victims of violence.

The incident reportedly occurred during preparations for a music video shoot, where tensions began even before arriving on set. According to 23-year-old eyewitness Titania Hibbert, one of the dancers, who has asthma, requested a car window be lowered due to smoke. The request was ignored, setting a tense tone for the day.

Matters escalated at the shoot location. Qwella allegedly entered the models' changing room without consent and became confrontational. Hibbert recalled that after a verbal exchange, the artist returned and assaulted Star in full view of others. Despite the number of people present, no one managed to intervene in time.

Background
Star reportedly visited a hospital for treatment and attempted to file a complaint at a police station. However, the Jamaica Constabulary Force’s Corporate Communications Unit said no report had yet been filed in their system. This discrepancy has raised concerns about the follow-through in cases involving entertainers and gender-based violence.

Shania Palmer, manager of Platinum Entertainment Ja, voiced concern over the public’s response, especially toward other women who were present. She emphasized that video vixens often face unsafe working conditions, a lack of regulation, and unfair stigmatization. Palmer also rejected the assumption that vixens are involved in sex work, stating that the problems at shoots are often caused by entourages rather than artists themselves.

Since the incident, Qwella has not commented publicly and deactivated his Instagram account shortly after the video circulated online.

Quotes
“People are blaming the other girls, but everyone there was a victim,” said Palmer.
“He just started beating her in front of everybody,” recalled Hibbert.
“Thank you to everyone who checking on me,” Star wrote in a recent Instagram Story.

Our Opinion
This incident highlights ongoing challenges within Jamaica’s music and entertainment sectors, particularly regarding safety and professional boundaries. It also raises urgent questions about accountability and the need for formal workplace protections for dancers and models. Continued public attention and support are crucial in bringing meaningful change.
