Kaz Crossley has disclosed that she was imprisoned in Abu Dhabi with a mother and her six-month-old kid.
In February, the reality personality, 28, was seized at Abu Dhabi airport while her route to Thailand and sent to prison.
Kaz was freed from prison after a week and turned to social media the following month to remark on a video of her snorting a white substance at a party in the United Arab Emirates.
This video, which Kaz said was shot by her ex-boyfriend, was the catalyst for her imprisonment.
Kaz revealed details about her time in prison last week, stating the lady she shared a cell with had been imprisoned for having an unwed baby.
According to Kaz, the lady was imprisoned just two days after giving birth, and by the time Kaz saw her, she had been there for six months.
Kaz shared: ‘She was in hospital for, I think, two days and the police came into the jail and put her in handcuffs and she just two days [ago had a] caesarean.
‘And [they] put her in jail with the baby. And she had been in there for six months when I came in.’
Kaz felt tearful on the Saving Grace podcast, recalling putting the infant into her arms at one point.
‘Me being in the lowest point, probably of my whole life, and holding this baby,’ the former Love Island star reflected.
Addressing the video back in February, Kaz told fans: ‘I feel like I owe it to my followers and I owe it to myself to get closure about this situation because it’s been a good few years and I’m ready to move forward now.’
She went on: ‘In 2020, I was in Dubai and I was filmed – it was me in the video, no one forced me to do that – it was a time in my life where I definitely didn’t love myself at all probably and this is reflected in what I was doing to my body and who I surrounded myself with.
‘A year later, it then got leaked and then more recently, I was on my way to Thailand and had an amazing job offer.’
Kaz said that she had been promised her ‘dream job’ in Thailand and had not considered the transit in Abu Dhabi.
‘I was then detained in Abu Dhabi and kept in custody from Monday through to Friday which is when they released me,’ she went on.
‘I was very accepting of the situation for whatever was going to happen to me.
‘I take full accountability, I did not lie and I said that was me in the video and I explained the situation, it was a long time ago etc.’
She added: ‘The video wasn’t taken by my friend, it was taken by an ex who I was with… in secret for a year. Didn’t know he had this video and then when we’ve broken up, that’s when he decided to leak it online.’
