Imsha Rehman Leaked Viral Video Scandal: Pakistani TikToker Shuts Down Social Media After Facing Backlash and Privacy Breach Concerns
A Pakistani TikTok sensation came into major controversy when the private videos were leaked online. The explicit content, which was spread widely across Whatsapp, X (formerly Twitter), and Instagram platforms, features Rehman in a compromising position with a friend. It was through these videos that, after a rapid multiplication in cyberspace, Rehman was thrown into a storm of online criticism and poor backlash forcing her later to de-activate all her social media accounts.

Viral Scandal and Public Response
It is the second consecutive high-profile incident involving a Pakistani influencer, as private videos of Imsha Rehman leaked. Earlier, there was a TikTok star in the form of Minahil Malik who went through a similar ordeal after her private videos were leaked and gained much public attention and condemnation.
Within minutes of the videos surfacing online, millions were clocking them. Screenshots and memes had millions on X as they slammed Rehman for this action. In front of such severe public scrutiny, she’d have to take extreme measures to remove herself from the digital space.
In a statement before wiping out all her accounts, Rehman said that she could no longer bear the backlash consistently, and this incident made it unbearable. She stated that the pressures of being a public figure and this incident overwhelmed her. The young TikToker had gained quite a fan following given the nature of her content, and she faced online harassment and judgment from people who viewed her videos.
Data Privacy and Cyberbullying Issues
Revelations of leaked videos by Imsha Rehman have also brought back concerns in the fray on data privacy as well as the question of ethics attached to such content. The issue, in the case of Minahil Malik, has warranted a much broader conversation with regard to the open nature with which social media could become platforms for exploitation and bullying, more specifically for young influencers.
It may remain to be seen who leaked those intimate videos of Rehman, but this incident, in one aspect, shows how personal information can be vulnerable in a digital world. The incident evoked calls for stricter privacy protection – not only for influencers but for everybody on social media. In consonance with this, there were also calls to note how those who hold or circulate private material share responsibility in creating the real-life implications of that online.
A Scandal That Keeps Returning to Haunt Influencers
There is nothing new about Imsha Rehman’s story either, although it shares the same circumstances of Minahil Malik, a Pakistani TikToker who received widespread public angst after some of her leaked personal videos recently became viral. In the emotional goodbye on Instagram post, Malik shared with her fans how emotional ordeal the scandal was for her as she concluded, “It was not easy for me but I’m done. I will miss you. I love you. Take care.”
Such scandals one after another raise serious doubts on the safety and well-being of the young influencers. And more so, in societies where social reputation and dignity are everything. Imsha Rehman has kept mum since she’d deactivated her social media accounts, but the incident serves as a grim reminder of the struggles and perils influencers must undergo to preserve their privacy in an increasingly digital world.
