Caryma Sa’d's name might watermark content, but the CarymaRules footage is not filtered through Sa’d's eyes; behind the lens lurks the gaze of King Leer.

Lee wields his camera as a weapon. He provokes altercations, auditioning enemies for a growing stable of characters. Those who are goaded into reacting become main characters in his storyline, casted as villains.

Team Sa’d hyperfocus on individuals; targets lose their right to privacy under the guise of public interest. It becomes open season on their lives. Their homes, their families, and their workplaces all become fodder.

Selectively edited video, along with words by Sa'd, are used to manufacture a narrative that those featured negatively on CarymaRules are worthy of the stalking and harassment they receive. Team Sa'd holds court on X, and her audience plays judge, jury, and executioner.

If Lee feels disrespected, he threatens to expose someone to the online harassment afforded to him by Sa'd's large following.

Sa'd uses legalese to give Lee's conduct the appearance of professionalism. When Lee's misbehaviour surfaces, Sa’d goes on the defence; there may be no expectation of privacy in public, but what of decency?

Team Sa’d wants to be identified as photojournalists or members of the press, but unlike professionals, they take zero ethical considerations and do not obtain consent before snapping a subject's photo or recording them going about their day.

Team Sa’d have a mutual interest in showmanship. They started producing content by filming the Project Claudia dispensary raids in Kensington Market together, in 2016.

In 2017, Sa’d began hosting a Meetup group called Wrestling Buds at The HotBox Cafe. The group would watch PPV wrestling and smoke marijuana together for a cover charge of $15-$25 per person.

Sa'd's February 12, 2017 WWE PPV event was promoted on X by accounts lifting photos people had posted of themselves online and using them without permission to advertise Sa’d's event. Some images used for the adult-only event are minors.

A year earlier, SP411 had used multiple X accounts that posted stolen photos to advertise an Adult Industry Hallowe'en party and promote the SP411 Review Board.

CW: Sexualization of minors.

The SP411 Hallowe'en promotional accounts used mostly photos of women in revealing costumes; however, several of the stolen photos are of minors, including one of a pre-school-age girl with the hashtags: escort, party, and service.

Based on the similarities between her promotions and his and the fact that they had a relationship as of 2016, it's reasonable to infer Lee was involved in Wrestling Buds. Lee was also an active member of other groups with Sa'd before deleting his Meetup profile.

Despite Sa’d and the Love-Lees refuting Lee's connection and subsequent abuse on SP411, Lee is observably predatory. Lee frequently turns his camera on people who are intoxicated or mentally ill - not with respect or compassion, but to profit from using them as content.

In a video from 2019, posted on Sa'd's Reddit account "streetweave," Lee films an apparently intoxicated man losing consciousness at a wrestling event. He stands over the man, laughingly declaring, "You're live on Twitter, bro!". EMTs later took the man to the hospital.

Comments under the Reddit post remarked on the callousness of Lee's behaviour and his failure to offer help. Sa'd countered that they had alerted security, but this was only done after Lee had mocked and recorded the man, which Sa'd then chose to post to further humiliate him.

CW: Graphic sexual content.

In July 2024, while seeking content near a protest at Queen's Park, Lee encountered a disoriented elderly man masturbating on a bench. The glassy-eyed man had his penis pulled out over his shorts and was distractedly rubbing it.

For two mins, Lee stood a few feet away recording the man masturbating and taking off his clothes, as well as, the shock and discomfort registering on the faces of people who passed by. After taking his fill of the scene, Lee wished the man "good luck in his adventures" and left.

Sa'd posted photos of the man with his penis exposed and made a call-out requesting help to blur the video so she could post it on X. She then shared the video privately with several people.

The video was then put on blast by TizzyEnt, with requests for his followers to identify the man; it was promptly decried as exploitation. The replies pointed out Lee's lack of intervention and questioned his need to film someone masturbating, especially for that length of time.

Lee frequents Sankofa Square (Yonge and Dundas) hoping to capture fights, intoxicated individuals, mental health crises—anything he can use as click bait. Since most of Lee's videos focus on racialized people, the replies are filled with racism.

Recently, Lee recorded someone relieving themselves at Sankofa Square. He hung back filming unobserved before he approached, asking them questions about whether or not he staged the scene. Lee was concerned he'd be accused of faking the video for his own benefit.

Lee then ran back to Sa'd, who struggled to hold back laughter as he explained what had transpired. Both react as if the issue with their exploitation videos is not that they're unethical but that they might be perceived as fake.

Team Sa’d treats protests and events as opportunities to create a spectacle. Lee is obtrusive; he's rude and entitled. He will push to the front of an event and stand in the way of media. He aggressively films attendees and speakers, attempting to manufacture drama.

In December 2022, Lee was caught staging a fall. He pushed his body against several people, lost his balance, and fell. He began to scream absurdly, as though he were hit. Sa’d then accused protesters of trying to intentionally hurt her "cameraman".

Team Sa’d attend events in costume, treating the very reasonable concerns of attendees as a joke. These performative masks conceal some or all of Lee's face, but the purpose is to mock those protecting themselves from COVID-19, harassment, and doxxing.

Lee engages in intimidation. He shoves the camera inches from his target's face, often with the flash in their eyes, then moves to block them as they try to get away.

After encountering Lee, people often express concern, discomfort, or even fear. In contrast, Sa'd invents a scenario that depicts Lee as singled out for harassment without reason.

Sa'd takes credit for videos as if she is present for every event; she's not; Sa'd is rarely in attendance. She touts boots on the ground coverage, but who's boots are they? We rely on Lee and his interactions to form the bulk of our perceptions of the events and attendees.

If Sa’d does attend an event, she usually hangs several meters away from the fray while Lee engages in his antagonistic routine.

Sa'd then implies that the reactions of Lee's targets were directed at her, even when she wasn't the one holding the camera and often was not even there. Anyone defending themselves against Lee is villainized, motivating her followers to identify and harass targets.

Sa'd lies for Lee. Content shows the negative reactions people have to Lee, including when they attempt to block his iPhone, yet Sa’d denies Lee gets extremely close to subjects, claiming they only "make good use of the zoom function." There is ample footage to disprove her lie.

After a protester addressed Lee for instigating conflict by encroaching on personal space in order to play victim, Sa’d denied it was one of Lee's methods to zoom out to make it appear as though he's a respectful distance away.

Video footage taken over Lee's shoulder of the pair at a different event proves this another of her lies; the protester was right. Lee was so close to Sa’d he brushes against her with his phone. Then, Lee zooms out, making it appear he was standing a few feet further away.

Reasonable requests from those being filmed by Lee to respect their boundaries by stepping back are ignored. Lee wants hostile relationships between himself and his subjects; he seeks out confrontations in order to spin a narrative that he and Sa’d are persecuted.

Lee's childish behaviour has not gone unnoticed by Team Sa’d's allies, who've chided Lee for his immature antics. Even those who support Sa’d can acknowledge that Lee gets in people's space.

In May 2024, after receiving pushback for filming a Muslim woman and her children, Lee approached Naved Awan for support. Awan, who has a cordial relationship with Lee and Sa'd, gently explained it is Lee's pattern of disrespecting protesters that causes him to be unwelcome.

Both Sa'd and the Love-Lees consistently talk about Sa'd and her identity to invalidate the concerns members of the communities Team Sa'd surveil have with their behaviour, accusing people of wanting to silence Sa’d.

In reality it's those targeted by Team Sa’d who are silenced. They are harassed in person by Lee, then subjected to online hate and threats for content they didn't consent to being a part of. Robbed of their voices and turned into two-dimensional villains for entertainment.

Sa’d pushes the idea that Lee is an unimportant aspect of the content that bears her name, but who is telling who's story and why is vital. How Lee behaves towards those he holds power over tells us exactly who he is, even if he remains nameless.
