Reality television personality Joseline Hernandez said she has contacted federal authorities after accusing Zeus Network CEO Lemuel Plummer of trafficking and retaliation during a public dispute tied to contracts and payments.
Hernandez made the claims in a series of social media posts over the weekend, alleging Plummer halted payments after she launched her own streaming platform and sought more control over her business ventures.
She also tagged the FBI in posts accusing Plummer of trafficking women connected to the network. No public records were immediately available Monday showing criminal charges or a federal case tied to the allegations.
The accusations mark an escalation in a feud between Hernandez, star of the Zeus series “Joseline’s Cabaret,” and the network that helped expand her reach in unscripted television. Zeus Network has built a following through reality programming centered on internet personalities and cast-driven conflict.
Plummer denied wrongdoing in a statement shared on social media and described the matter as a contract dispute.
“This situation stems from a clear breach of agreement that we’ve made repeated good-faith efforts to resolve privately, respectfully, and calmly,” Plummer said, according to reports. He added that the company supports its talent and is “not in the business of limiting talent.”
Hernandez, a former “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” cast member, has not publicly released documents supporting the trafficking allegations. Plummer also has not announced any legal action in response to the claims as of Monday.
Trafficking accusations are among the most serious claims that can be made in civil or criminal disputes, and such allegations typically require evidence and investigation by law enforcement. Neither the FBI nor Zeus Network had announced any public findings by Monday.
The dispute appears rooted in business control, revenue, and content ownership, but it has now moved into the public arena with claims that could bring legal scrutiny if formal complaints are filed.
