The Standard wanted no parts of this media frenzy surrounding Jay Z and Solange. That’s why shortly after the elevator incident, the hotel announced that they were planning to prosecute anyone responsible for the leaking of the video. So far, they’ve found the one responsible. Since, they’ve fired him. According to reports, the Standard had hired Hollywood lawyer Marty Singer after the press leak, who was investigating who shopped the tape. Turns out that the tape was sold for $250,000. More info after the jump.
In a statement to Business Insider:
“The Standard has identified the individual responsible for breaching the security policies of the hotel and recording the confidential CCTV video released by TMZ. The Standard has already terminated the individual and will now be pursuing all available civil and criminal remedies. The Standard will next be turning over all available information to the criminal authorities.”
