A rumour doesn’t need to be true to travel; it just needs to be clickable. And few things are more clickable than the promise of a ‘private clip,’ a Telegram link, and a made-up Olympic backstory that flatters the viewer into thinking they’ve found something ‘hidden.’
That, in essence, is what sits behind the latest ‘Pinay Gold Medalist’ posts dragging the name Zyan Cabrera into people’s feeds. Multiple fact-check and warning write-ups say the ‘viral video’ narrative is not a sports triumph or a genuine leak story at all, but a phishing scheme designed to hijack accounts and lure users into malware.
So if you’ve clicked because you wanted to know who leaked what on Telegram, you’re already playing the scammers’ game. The better question is: what are they trying to take from you?
What The Trend Really Is
The ‘Pinay Gold Medalist’ label has been repeatedly attached to posts on Facebook and Telegram that feature a young woman identified as Zyan Cabrera, also referred to online as Jerriel ‘Cry4zee.’ LatestLY describes the posts as a ‘dangerous phishing scam designed to hack your Facebook account,’ using ‘Gold Medalist’ and ‘leaked video’ language as bait.
That framing matters, because it directly contradicts the tone of the viral captions. The captions imply a scandal, and sometimes try to wrap it in prestige—’gold medalist,’ ‘Olympic,’ ‘gymnastics’—as if that makes the link feel more legitimate. It doesn’t. It makes it trend.
LatestLY’s fact-check is blunt on the central claim: ‘Zyan Cabrera is a digital content creator, not a professional athlete,’ and the ‘Gold Medalist’ title is described as a malicious keyword attached to hijack search trends during the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Brabo News PH makes the same point in Filipino, calling the supposed ‘sex scandal’ content a phishing scam and warning that clicking ‘full scandal video’ links can expose passwords and personal information.
In other words, the ‘gold medal’ isn’t an achievement. It’s an SEO costume.
Who Leaked It On Telegram?
This is the part where a responsible outlet has to disappoint you: there is no verified answer, because there is no verified ‘Zyan Cabrera private clip’ in the first place.
LatestLY explicitly says the ‘boyfriend leak’ and ‘private video’ claims are unconfirmed and are part of a massive phishing scam ecosystem. It also notes that hackers can use lookalikes or even deepfake-style tactics to manufacture scandal narratives around influencers.
Brabo News PH similarly explains that scammers use thumbnails built from publicly available, intimate-looking photos and videos of Zyan and her boyfriend to make the fake ‘leak’ feel believable.
So when people ask, ‘Who leaked it on Telegram?’ they are assuming a real leak occurred and that Telegram is the source. The warning reports suggest something else: Telegram is simply one of the distribution pipes for scam links and recycled content, not the reliable origin of a proven clip.

And this is what cannot be ignored: the question itself can become a form of harm. It invites doxxing, vigilantism, and a kind of crowd-sourced cruelty aimed at a young woman whose public-facing content—dancing, lip-syncing, day-to-day posts—can be scraped and weaponised by strangers.
If you’re trying to cover this as a ‘leak mystery,’ you’ll end up amplifying the scam. If you cover it as cybercrime and exploitation—now you’re closer to the truth.
