📱 Joanna Says Personal Information Was Distributed

According to messages and materials provided to LFTG Radio, Joanna Rotondi alleges the dispute escalated after her Social Security number and other personal information were distributed online.

LFTG Radio has reviewed screenshots and communications provided by Joanna concerning those allegations. However, the specific allegations underlying the pending criminal case have not been independently verified by this outlet and remain before the court.

⚖️ The Derrick Butler Allegation

The fallout between the former friends intensified after Binky publicly alleged that Joanna was responsible for Derrick Butler’s arrest following the June Hendricks Avenue incident that resulted in multiple arrests and generated widespread discussion across Staten Island social media.

Joanna vehemently denies that allegation.

As previously reported by LFTG Radio in  Grand Jury Clears Elayzia Muhammad As Chevy Makes Bail And Woopie Balla And DD Kash Money Remain Jailed⁠, Joanna publicly acknowledged contacting police before officers responded to the residence. However, LFTG Radio also reported that the motivations behind the call and the events immediately preceding the police response were not independently established.

LFTG Radio further reported that the police response ultimately resulted in a parole search because Tyreik “Woopie Balla” Williams was reportedly on parole and listed at the residence.

At this time, LFTG Radio has not independently verified any claim that Joanna intentionally sought to have Derrick Butler arrested or that she was responsible for the criminal charges that followed.

💔 Leaked Messages About Billy Become The Viral Flashpoint

While the arrest and allegations surrounding Derrick Butler initially fueled online discussion, much of the public attention quickly shifted to leaked private messages concerning Binky’s late brother, Billy.

Screenshots reviewed by LFTG Radio appear to show deeply personal conversations involving Billy and statements that have since circulated widely across social media.

The messages generated significant backlash online because Binky had previously dedicated a substantial portion of her social media presence to honoring and remembering her brother following his passing.

Several of the leaked messages also appeared to contain statements that online users argued conflicted with Binky’s public image and previous tributes to Billy, fueling even more debate and commentary across social media platforms.

The release of the messages transformed an already bitter fallout into one of the most talked-about stories on Staten Island social media.

🌐 Rumors And Speculation Consume Social Media

As screenshots continued spreading online, additional rumors and personal allegations flooded social media platforms.

Among the most widely discussed claims were allegations concerning Binky’s health, with countless users reposting screenshots, memes and commentary surrounding the controversy. Rumors alleging that Binky suffered from bacterial vaginosis and related medical complications spread rapidly across social media, becoming one of the dominant topics of discussion online.

LFTG Radio observed the widespread circulation of those allegations but has not independently verified the medical claims being shared online.

The speed at which screenshots, accusations and rumors spread turned what began as a dispute between former best friends into a citywide social media spectacle.

📉 Both Women Appear To Deactivate Their Instagram Accounts

As public scrutiny intensified and the controversy reached a fever pitch, both women appeared to deactivate their Instagram accounts.

The move drew significant attention online, particularly because Binky had amassed more than 500,000 followers on Instagram and maintained a highly visible presence on the platform for years.

What appears to be documented through court records, screenshots and social media activity is the complete collapse of a once-close and highly public friendship that has now evolved into criminal charges, viral leaks and widespread online speculation.

As of publication, the criminal allegations against Janavia “Binky” Massie remain accusations, and she is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.

This remains an evolving story, and LFTG Radio will continue monitoring the criminal proceedings and any additional developments that emerge publicly.

Not for clicks — for clarity.
