Things are heating up in G-Unit boss 50 Cent‘s publicized sex tape trial with rap rival Rick Ross‘ ex-girlfriend Lastonia Leviston with a jury watching the x-rated footage this week.

According to reports, a jury received an early dismissal from the trial after they viewed the clip.

A raunchy sex video played Friday in a Manhattan trial involving the rapper 50 Cent was so graphic that the judge gave jurors an early start to the weekend after they squirmed in their seats throughout the 13-minute screening. Most jurors were visibly uncomfortable by the sex video — with one tightly crossing her arms and turning her body to the side. (New York Post)

Earlier this week, Leviston and her attorney Philip Freidin argued Fif destroyed her reputation over the publicly released x-rated video in 2009.

“She dead,” 50 Cent says toward the end of the tape, which he narrated on his website. “She dead! … meaning he’s done destroyed her — destroyed her reputation,” Freidin said. Leviston quietly sobbed in the front row of the Manhattan Supreme Court courtroom as Freidin spoke, her shoulders shaking as she wiped her eyes with a tissue. Her aunt, sitting next to her, also teared up. (New York Daily News)

50’s lawyer claimed someone stole the footage and released it before the G-Unit head.

“Her life is better because she filed this lawsuit against Rick Ross’ rival,” said lawyer James Renard. The lawyer also argued that someone hacked into 50 Cent’s computer and stole the tape before he could post it. “The bottom line is, Mr. Jackson is not the one who first published it,” said Renard.

Buzz about the lawsuit’s existence bubbled online a few weeks ago.

50 has filed a lawsuit — obtained by TMZ — in which he’s trying to deflect blame from himself for the video which now has millions of views. Lastonia Leviston has sued 50 claiming she was so distraught after 50 posted the video she contemplated suicide. But now 50 says Ross is actually the one who created the problem because he or one of his lackeys was first to post it … 50 just linked to it. 50 points to an interview Ross did with a radio station the day before the video was posted in which he said he was going to put the sex tape online.
