Betty Kyallo breaks silence over alleged ‘explicit’ video
Media personality Betty Kyallo has broken her
silence following reports that have been trending on social media since Monday that she allegedly
featured in a supposed explicit video.
Ms. Kyallo, in a statement released on Tuesday by her management
team Medios Limited, dismissed the reports as fake and malicious saying they were merely
meant to tarnish her name and brand.
The former TV news anchor-turned-entrepreneur
further went ahead to state that she has since filed a complaint with the relevant
authorities against those responsible for the news and they will soon be brought
to book.
“We take this opportunity to repudiate the
attempt to remotely or directly link Betty Kyallo with the false narrative made
in the fake news stories,” stated Medios Limited.
“We have lodged an official complaint with
the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), Director of Cybercrime
(CR&IB) and we have been assured that any person(s) and/or blogs, social
media accounts found guilty of originating the false news will be prosecuted.”
The management company added that the Betty
Kyallo brand has taken over a decade to build and serves as an inspiration to
many, intimating that they will hence not allow the same to be destroyed on a
foundation of falsehood.
“The nature of the content circulating social
media platforms is false, malicious and of the intent to tarnish the Betty
Kyallo brand which has been carefully cultivated over the past decade. The
aforementioned content is in no way a representation of the Betty Kyallo brand,”
added Medios Limited.
“The Betty Kyallo brand has served as an
inspiration to many young Kenyans, has directly and indirectly created
employment for many and it purposes to continue doing so via the creation and
promotion of credible, informative and entertaining content for her fans,
followers and supporters in a tasteful fashion.”
