More trouble for 'KONY 2012.' TMZ has obtained a video of 'KONY 2012' exec Jedidiah Jenkins, the Director of Ideology for the charity.
In the video, Jenkins appears to be drunk as he jokes about keeping $900,000 of a $1 million grant the organization received for himself.
From TMZ:
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.
Reps from the organization say the video was made as a joke and that the bottle was filled with water, not vodka.
Hey, at least the guy wasn't jerkin' it in the middle of the street. Look for the positives.
