On December 4, 2019, Nyce Wanjeri, a renowned Kenyan actress, took home the Best Lead Actress in a TV Drama Series award at the Kalasha Awards.
However, her night was marred by a sex video that was mistakenly attributed to her, sparking widespread outrage on social media.
Confirming that she was not the woman in the tape, Wanjeri stated, “That wasn’t me. I always say this. Those who know me know that Nyce is not like that,” she said.
She emphasized that she keeps her life private and urged social media users to stop shaming others online, as it can have devastating consequences.
Wanjeri also reached out to the woman in the leaked video and expressed her support, stating, “I actually talked to that lady and it’s something she was going through and it was hard. When something like that goes viral, it destroys people. It feels bad that someone would name you and you were not the one.”
