Drama is breaking out in Twittersphere. Last night, radio host John Cardillo posted a video “exposing” Joy Villa of doing the exact same thing she accused Corey Lewandowski of doing: slapping someone’s ass.
BREAKING SHOCK VIDEO: Fraud @Joy_Villa exposed!
Caught on video doing exactly what she falsely accused @CLewandowski_ of doing.
DC cops need to charge her with filing false report. https://t.co/fR9lzu9v8r

Sources telling me a major outlet planned on paying triple digits for the FULL 4min long video of Joy Villa at the Conservative Leadership Conference in #LasVegas before @johncardillo posted a preview of the damaging video tonight.

If the man in the video is her husband, the video is a “nothing burger”. But , the video @johncardillo posted online tonight was clipped short. As I said before, the full video is 4 plus minutes.
— Laura Loomer (@LauraLoomer) December 28, 2017
The ass slapping actions in the video @johncardillo posted tonight isn’t the most damaging part of the video.
But, the other people in the video and comments made by others featured in the full video is what makes the video interesting.
— Laura Loomer (@LauraLoomer) December 28, 2017
Quite a few people seem to be pissed with Cardillo for stealing the video.
People trying to get clicks on their twitter page 🙄 just costed a huge story from breaking. https://t.co/S7GKUn7S20

If I was the publicist running this show, I would be PISSED.
Are you mad at @johncardillo for publishing the video? How on earth did he "cost a huge story from breaking?" Absurd! pic.twitter.com/SxXI41vuZX

You don’t know how media works, dude.
Not absurd at all.
— Anna Khait (@Annakhait) December 28, 2017
How, exactly, does someone posting the video cost the story from breaking? How, exactly? How does that work? As far as I can tell, THE STORY BROKE when he posted the video. So explain please, as I do not understand your reasoning. pic.twitter.com/P0BblWuDVT

It’s all about “exclusives” and who gets to say they broke the story. AKA people with BIG egos.
It wasn’t HIS story to break
— Anna Khait (@Annakhait) December 28, 2017
TRANSLATION: He didn’t pay, he doesn’t get to play.
I made it mine. Deal with it.
— John Cardillo (@johncardillo) December 28, 2017
Stealing. Classy.
If it’s not yours – and you make it yours – that’s THEFT!
— AmericanStevenNYC (@StevenLovesUSA1) December 28, 2017
Amazing concept, right?
Nice work John- wait to steal a video and leak it yourself before the story broke
— Anna Khait (@Annakhait) December 29, 2017
He wants the scoop without the pricetag. Classy.
.@Annakhait, you're coming off as unhinged and ignorant.
A) The video was posted to a public YouTube channel and accessible to anyone who knew where to look.
B) The story broke because I broke it. If that bothers people, that's their problem.
You're pretty bad at this. https://t.co/BpT8W37mrI
— John Cardillo (@johncardillo) December 29, 2017
Wow.
Anna,
One cannot steal a public domain video that was posted to a public YouTube channel and accessible by anyone who knew where to look.
The story broke because I broke it.
— John Cardillo (@johncardillo) December 29, 2017
“The story broke because I broke it” seems to be a favorite line of his.
John you have 0 respect for journalism or for other people. The video was “unlisted”. Have some respect..it was NOT your story to break. You’re a fame whore. The story was supposed to break today and go viral, instead you leaked it and now no one cares to write about it. Good job
— Anna Khait (@Annakhait) December 29, 2017
Anna – 1, John – 0.
You only saw the video because you were given a link in CONFIDENCE, it was unlisted, and you leaked it for the credit and the clicks. I don’t care about that.. I Care that you killed a Big story, and didn’t allow it to go viral like it should. The entire video is damning.
— Anna Khait (@Annakhait) December 29, 2017
Sometimes, in the media world, it’s better to give the story to a person or outlet who can make the most difference than letting it tank with someone smaller.
You're right about one thing only: GREAT WORK JOHN!!
— I LOVE BACON JaniceWOKE AF (@zenabby1) December 29, 2017
Oof.
John has nothing to do with the story, genius. He stole the video. It was going to be broken this morning where everyone could read the whole thing, and watch the entire video. John is a scum bag who stole the video and taking credit lol loser
— Anna Khait (@Annakhait) December 29, 2017
We’ll see if this becomes a story with the media.
Jeremy Oliver, a former producer for One America News Network, accused Cardillo of stealing the video, something that him and his colleagues were shopping around various media outlets.
You weren't even able to get this story to trend. Because you are a hack. You're blocking is the equivalent of jerking off into a tissue.
You'll never be prime time. Every respectable journalist is aware of you— Jeremy Oliver (@oliverstake) December 29, 2017
Ouch.
Sorry, wrong.
My brand is doing better than ever. Especially after this.
You were too stupid to lock the video down. Not my problem.
— John Cardillo (@johncardillo) December 29, 2017
If you asked for verification and then stole it, that’s SHAY-DAY.
We are speaking of a lost payment of under $1000, right? Eye roll. Get over it already.

Copyright infringement attorney already on it— Jeremy Oliver (@oliverstake) December 29, 2017
That’s a lot of money for a short video.
Hey moron, you would have to show actual damages which you can't because the video was publicly accessible to anyone who knew where to look.
Furthermore, I have source material protections. Please have your "copyright infringement attorney" contact me. I welcome it.
— John Cardillo (@johncardillo) December 29, 2017
This should be interesting…
But the fact that you claim that you are benefiting from this theft is great news for the person that you stole it from
— Jeremy Oliver (@oliverstake) December 29, 2017
Touche.
Your brand? You're finished…
No respectable journalist is going to give any credit to this blogger— Jeremy Oliver (@oliverstake) December 29, 2017
And publicists who work with reputable journalists will also know to beware.
It said 3 figures on the original post. It was on public forum. It’s going to cost you a lot if you have a competent attorney. And you will lose. It sux to expect a payday and lose it but it is what it is. U suing everyone who RTd it too?
— VK (@vjeannek) December 29, 2017
Oh brother…
It's out there no getting it back and John will be responsible for damages.
Besides being an unethical blogger he broke copyright laws— Jeremy Oliver (@oliverstake) December 29, 2017
Seems pretty cut and dry.
Sue me. Please.
Sue me for using source material that was in the public domain.
I would love to wipe the floor with you in court, win damages, and legal fees, not to mention the motion for sanctions my attorneys will file for your frivolous claim.
— John Cardillo (@johncardillo) December 29, 2017
Someone’s cocky now, aren’t they?
And, of course, I couldn’t help but asking that one question on everyone’s mind:
Question: if it was on a public domain, why not download a copy of the video instead of filming it on your phone?
— Beth Baumann (@eb454) December 29, 2017
It is 2017 and there are ways of downloading YouTube videos instead of taking a shaky video on your phone.
Yep! All the major media players I saw it and I had settled on a buyer that would give it the most traction not the most money Daily Mail was ready until this clown while watching a private link recorded it with his phone
Didn't even write a story#Hack— Jeremy Oliver (@oliverstake) December 29, 2017
Eeek.
Honest question from someone outside the business.
Wasn't this all a thing with the Walter Scott video? the guy who shot it put it on Youtube then got all bent because he couldn't get money for it because of that?
— Blue Steel Indy (@AmericasJohn) December 29, 2017
Here’s how I see it:
I don't know about that specific video. The issue here is whether or not the video was private. If it was private & sent around with an embargo (agreement not to publish w/o payment or timeframe) & Cardillo went around that, that breaks basic journalism ethics.
— Beth Baumann (@eb454) December 29, 2017
If a journalist did this to me when I was still doing PR they would be blackballed SO hard. I would make sure every reputable journalist and publicist I knew was made aware of their questionable/unethical behavior.
— Beth Baumann (@eb454) December 29, 2017
