Julian backed his sister after the continuous buzz around the controversy. Amid that, new buzz is that the leaked video could be considered a federal crime under the TAKE IT DOWN Act. So, as the controversy grows, let's take a look at who Jaden is and what the act is.
Who is Julian Newman's sister, Jaden Newman?
Jaden Newman has been in the limelight ever since an explicit video of hers was leaked online. According to reports, the video showed sensitive and adult content that left the internet stunned. Amid that, the buzz around her has increased with netizens growing curious about who she is.
According to reports, Jaden Newman is a basketball player and social media personality from Orlando, Florida. She was born on June 13, 2004, as per Famous Birthdays. She and her brother, Julian Newman, gained attention at a young age after becoming the youngest siblings to score more than 1,000 varsity prep career points.
What is the TAKE IT DOWN Act and how could that lead to a federal case?
College basketball player and social media figure Jaden Newman reported being hacked following the online leak of unauthorized intimate videos. However, amid the growing buzz around it, reports have now gone rife that the incident serves as an early test of the federal TAKE IT DOWN Act and could lead to a federal case against the person who leaked the video. According to reports, the TAKE IT DOWN Act criminalizes nonconsensual intimate media and mandates covered platforms remove flagged content within 48 hours.
Additionally, the TAKE IT DOWN Act "classifies the intentional disclosure of qualifying nonconsensual intimate depictions as a federal criminal offense". Someone who is facing a violation of this act can be charged with severe penalties. If the victim is an adult, the violator can face potential fines and up to two years in federal prison, while offenses involving minors carry sentences of up to three years.
While the statute provides clear legal recourse against mainstream tech platforms, legal analysts point out ongoing enforcement challenges in the act. They revealed that when the leak is video on unmoderated third-party websites, it can be difficult to hold someone accountable. The reason for this is that many offsite repositories operate outside standard domestic regulatory frameworks or ignore takedown requests.
Jaden Newman's brother, Julian Newman, also spoke about the leaked video of his sister. In a video shared on August 6, 2026, Julian defended his sister, saying the situation was not her fault and alleging that an ex-boyfriend leaked the videos. However, these claims cannot be verified as of now. He also claimed the attention surrounding the controversy could make her "bigger than Kim K." Earlier, Jaden had said during a livestream that she was hacked. He said:
"I just wanted to get my point across…my sister, she ain't a h*e, bro. She ain't out here doing what y'all think she doing. Y'all some clowns, bro…She had a boyfriend, and that was it, bro. And to be completely honest with you, she a millionaire, actually. She ain't worried about none of that… This just made her richer. We finna make her Kim K level. Bigger than that."
