Sexyy Red Robbed of $500,000 Worth of Jewelry, Handbags and More During ‘Birthday Retreat’ for Her Mom

Rapper Sexyy Red, known for hits like “Get It Sexyy,” has found herself embroiled in a legal dispute following a distressing incident during a birthday retreat she organised for her mother. Reports emerging from court documents reveal that the star, whose real name is Janae Wherry, was the victim of a robbery in January 2025, resulting in the loss of belongings valued at an astonishing £400,000. These documents were unveiled in April amid an ongoing lawsuit against her former security guard, Carl Thompson.

The robbery occurred at a mansion that Sexyy Red had rented in Florida for what was supposed to be a celebratory gathering for her mother. To ensure safety for her family and friends during the festivities, she enlisted the help of Thompson. In a bid for enhanced security, he was permitted to bring along three additional personnel. However, the celebrations took a turn for the worse when a masked intruder gained entry to the home through an unlocked door and made off with an array of valuables, including intricate jewellery and designer handbags.

In her legal claim, Sexyy Red asserts that Thompson’s negligence led to the circumstances enabling the burglary. According to her account, he failed to secure the property properly, allowing the criminal to enter with ease. “I personally terminated Mr. Thompson’s duties as a security guard following an incident where a mansion rented by Sexyy Red was burglarized by a lone subject who walked directly to an unlocked door,” remarked Jeremy Carter, a spokesperson for the rapper, in a statement. The incident reportedly unfolded while guests were away celebrating on yachts.

As the legal battle unfolds, Thompson has denied any involvement in the robbery. His attorney, Mason Richard Wolfe, insists that not only did law enforcement find no grounds for charges against his client, but that the counterclaim made by Sexyy Red was merely a tactic to shirk her obligations to pay Thompson for his previous work. He filed a lawsuit in August, stating he was owed more than £65,000 for unpaid wages stemming from 2023.

The controversy includes contrasting claims of responsibility and accountability for the security breach. In her counterclaim, Wherry asserts that she engaged a private investigator to delve into the robbery, alleging that Thompson had failed a polygraph test regarding the incident. In response, Thompson has moved to dismiss her claims, arguing that he did not have control over the property, and therefore should not bear the blame for the burglary.

Thompson’s actions have been further complicated by his legal pursuits against Sexyy Red, prompting questions about the motives behind the filings. Carter, in support of the rapper, has expressed concerns about the timing of Thompson’s actions, especially during a period of personal mourning for Sexyy Red, following the loss of her close friend, Tay Keith.

Despite the turmoil, both parties remain steadfast in their positions. Sexyy Red’s legal team is focused on establishing the security guard’s liability for the theft, while Thompson’s representatives maintain his innocence and seek to recover unpaid wages from the past.

This case raises broader concerns about the responsibility of security personnel during public events, particularly when significant assets are at stake. As the proceedings continue, the outcome could set precedents regarding contractual obligations and accountability in the entertainment industry.

With the Plantation Police Department yet to provide an official commentary on the matter, the spotlight remains firmly on the legal battle that has unfolded since the shocking events of early 2025. As both parties prepare for future courtroom appearances, the details surrounding this high-profile robbery serve as a cautionary tale for entertainers and their security arrangements.
