This whole operation continues to get shadier and shadier. Not too long after the head of the KONY operation had a naked meltdown in the streets of California, another member on the board was caught on tape “joking” about keeping the almost one million dollar donation to himself and chugging vodka. Ummm. I don’t know how I feel about that. Watch the disturbing video below.
One of the heads of Jason Russell’s Invisible Children organization made a disturbing video after the charity won a $1 million grant … in which he appears to be drunk and joking about keeping $900,000 for himself.
TMZ has obtained the clip … featuring Jedidiah Jenkins, the Director of Ideology for the charity dedicated to hunting down African warlord Joseph Kony.
The footage appears to be shot in 2010 … right after Invisible Children won the $1 million grand prize in the Chase Community Giving Facebook competition.
In the video, Jenkins is holding a handle of Smirnoff vodka … and slurs to the camera, “I don’t know if you heard this or not … but we won a … we won a million dollars so … pretty rad.”
After chugging from the bottle, Jenkins continues … “a hundred thousand for Haiti and $900,000 in extra for me.”
As for the Haiti reference … the contest was held one week after the earthquake in Haiti and Invisible Children had promised to give $100k to Haitian relief efforts if they won the prize. We have no idea how the remaining $900,000 was spent.
A source connected to Invisible Children says the video is a joke that Jedidiah recorded and posted on a private YouTube page right after the group won the prize. We’re told the bottle was filled with water, not vodka.
Invisible Children’s rep has not responded to our calls for an official comment.
