Lisburn woman shared video of former friend naked in the bath on Tik Tok and called her 'a beached whale', court hears

The 41-year-old defendant appeared before Lisburn Magistrates Court charged with improper use of the public electronic communications network.

She is Stacy Dianna Todd, whose address was given as Ballyknocken Avenue in Lisburn.

The court heard that on December 1, 2025, the police received a report from the injured party, who was said to have been a friend of the defendant for eight years. She was the former girlfriend of the defendant’s brother and following their break up, the two women ceased contact.

It was stated that the defendant set up a live stream on Tik Tok and during that she referred to the victim as a ‘beached whale’ and a ‘tramp’.

The victim was then contacted by several people who said they had received screen recordings of her naked in a bath.

It is understood the video had originally been taken by the victim by mistake and was later screenshotted and shared by the defendant.

The defendant was arrested by police and made full admission during interview.

A defence lawyer told the court the victim had been in a relationship with the defendant’s brother, which ended badly.

Stating that the defendant had mental health issues, the lawyer added: “She is keen for the help that is available to her. She is someone who needs some kind of help.”

District Judge Rosie Watters sentenced the defendant to two years on probation, saying: “It’s horrible the way she did the whole thing.”

During sentencing Ms Watters warned the defendant: “If you breach the probation order it will be an immediate custodial sentence.

"You must take the opportunity of probation.

"Regard yourself as lucky and don’t you do anything like that again.

"If there was no such thing as social media my court would be so much quieter.

"It is stupid, stupid, stupid to get involved in social media,” she added.

Ms Watters also issued a restraining order for a period of two years.
