On August 8, 2020, social media was abuzz with reactions to a photo of Betty Kyallo, a popular Kenyan media personality, rocking a two-piece bikini by a swimming pool.
However, instead of receiving praise for her confidence and beauty, Kyallo was met with criticism and ridicule from some quarters of the online community.
Some users went as far as 'dressing' Kyallo in a blue skirt and yellow handbag, a clear indication of their disapproval of her choice of attire.
Reacting to the photo, Kyallo wrote, 'I'm on the floor Aki this is my favourite one yet! Hadi nimepewa Kibetty ya Betty I loooove Kenyan Netizens kesho I give you ANOTHER ONE (Dj Khaled)'.
Despite the backlash, Kyallo's fans and supporters rallied around her, defending her right to express herself and enjoy her summer in peace.
