Jamie Kah: Hunt is on for WhatsApp leaker of white powder video
WhatsApp leaker searched for behind footage of superstar jockey Jamie Kah picking up rows of white powder – as video allegedly recorded ‘without her consent’
Upset and furious race insiders are trying to locate the woman who allegedly leaked video of champion jockey Jamie Kah collecting lines of white powder.
On Friday, video footage of the 27-year-old dividing a mound of white substance was widely shared on WhatsApp.
The Herald Sun reports that the incident happened last Saturday night, after Kah came home from a date night with friend and fellow jockey Ben Melham, who had returned to his own home.
The pair had enjoyed a quiet dinner with jockeys Ethan Brown and Celine Gaudry at Mornington seafood hotspot The Rocks.
Kah went back to her Somerville home, about 15 minutes from the restaurant, where she found Biddell and “a star-struck girlfriend,” who is also involved in racing.

She donned the gray robe she wears in a selfie taken of the trio, as well as in the video where a white substance is shared with a plastic card.
While the video doesn’t show either Kah or Biddell’s faces, it confirms their identities through the clothes they wear – which match the selfie taken earlier.
However, Kah was unaware that she was being filmed and did not consent to the video being made. Now insiders are trying to locate the video’s filmmaker and leaker.
A source told the Herald Sun, “Jamie needs to find some new friends.”
In a statement published Saturday, Kah said: “I am determined to focus on my health and recovery after my race fall in March, which left me with a serious brain injury and three weeks in hospital.
Kah issued a statement on Saturday after the video came to light on Friday night
“I’m working hard to get back to what I love, which is being a passionate and successful jockey.”
“I will continue to focus on my physical and mental health and make a full recovery so that I can race again and be the best person I can be.
“I will not comment further.”
Biddell also released a brief statement asking for “privacy.”
It is clear that race stewards will investigate once Saturday’s races at Caulfield have concluded.
