‘VMX Tapes’ Unveils Raw, Scandal-Inspired Stories
Cast: Shannon Sizon
Directed by: Ray Gibraltar
Streaming on VMX: August 18, 2026
VMX expands its special-interest lineup with its newest offering, VMX Tapes, a provocative series of raw, scandal-inspired videos hosted by VMX star Shannon Dizon and directed by Ray Gibraltar. The series takes viewers into a collection of intimate and unfiltered moments designed to blur the line between reality and a sensational “leaked” video.
Presented across Volumes 1 and 2, VMX Tapes features a total of 15 videos, with each installment running approximately five to seven minutes. The series is built around scandal segments where Dizon introduces and discusses the featured videos, offering viewers a teasing glimpse into the stories and personalities behind each provocative clip.
Adding to the visual appeal are beauty-shot segments that put the spotlight on the host, bringing a polished contrast to the deliberately raw aesthetic of the series. The combination creates a viewing experience that moves between candid-looking footage and carefully crafted, steamy imagery.
For its most daring twist, VMX Tapes saves its biggest tease for the end of each episode. Dizon will film her own scandal-style video, staged to capture the same intimate, spontaneous feel that defines the series. The closing segment promises to push the concept further as the host becomes the subject of her own “scandal.”
With its provocative format, short-form episodes and scandal-inspired presentation, VMX Tapes offers VMX audiences a fresh take on the special-interest genre. The series streams exclusively on VMX, inviting viewers to press play and discover what happens when the cameras capture the scandal from every angle.

The arrival of Veron, played by Julianne Richards, and Enrico, portrayed by Rash Flores, brings new tension to Rebecca and Biko’s budding relationship. Their unexpected appearance forces Biko to confront the possibility that the answers to his forgotten past may be more complicated—and more dangerous—than he imagined.
