This was a video I sent to my brother right after it happened but I felt it important
for ppl to be aware. I need for EVERYONE to be overly conscious of themselves
and their loved ones. As Tonidrivera says it’s SHOPPING SEASON where
traffickers try to snatch ppl up!!! If I wasn’t from Newark boyyyyy… If Tony Rivera
hadn’t schooled me and my friends on what to look for, SHIT would’ve been real
different. PLUS I don’t sound like I look. Also I am thankful to the production for
their concern and their understanding. What’s crazy is I went back to the front
desk, the guy that gave me the taxi number wasn’t there. I asked the woman
where he was. She looks at the number and says, “why would he give you this
number? This isn’t the normal number.” It was a set up fo real.

Campbell said she peered into the disheveled van, and noticed the
backseat looked like it had been removed, and it was dirty, with
various pieces in disarray. "The driver goes, 'get in the car.' I go, 'I'm

not getting in the car.' The guy in the back is motioning his body
towards me to get in the car." When the man told her to get in the
front seat, Campbell responded, "I'm not getting in the f****** car.
F*** y'all."

While Campbell did not share where the incident took place, TMZ
reported it happened in Brownsville, Texas, about 10 minutes from
the Mexican border.

"Yo, this trafficking s*** is real, but they got me f***** up," Campbell
shared, seemingly in disbelief. She concluded the video by saying "I
ain't Gina, bitch," referencing her famous character from Martin.

Campbell later explained how important it is to be aware of your

surroundings to prevent situations like this from occurring.

"I felt it important for [people] to be aware. I need for EVERYONE

to be overly conscious of themselves and their loved ones," she
captioned the post, adding that she was only aware of what to look
out for because she had been advised by friends and colleagues.
She said if she wasn't so knowledgable about the hazards of human
trafficking, "s*** would’ve been real different. PLUS I don’t sound
like I look."
