It’s Fitty shades of gross

- Julia Marsh

A Manhattan trial over a sex tape allegedly posted online by rapper 50 Cent turned Xrated in the first few minutes on Monday.

Lastonia Leviston wiped away tears as her attorney described the graphic video with commentary by “Fitty” picking apart her physical flaws and trashing her as a “slut.”

Leviston — who had a baby with 50 Cent’s business rival, Rick Ross — is suing the rapper, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, saying he nearly drove her to suicide.

“[ Jackson] starts describing her private parts in intimate detail . . . He makes reference to her stretch marks from her birth,” Leviston’s lawyer, Philip Freidin, told the fivewoman, fourman jury.

Leviston made the tape in 2008 with her thenboyfri­end, who later sold it to Jackson, Freidin said.

Jackson’s attorney, Jim Renard, said Leviston had modeled for an escort service and was going after the rapper’s “deep pockets.”
