Media personality Betty Kyallo has filed a defamation lawsuit against blogger Edgar Obare, marking a significant move in response to his recent allegations.
Obare claimed that Kyallo and her new boyfriend, Charlie Jones, left a city restaurant without paying their bill.
Kyallo, adamant in her stance, expressed, “I have decided to take legal action against those who defame me and damage my reputation without factual basis.”
In a statement, Kyallo emphasized the impact of such unfounded accusations on her hard-earned reputation built over the years.
She stated, “These actions for clicks, likes, and views are extremely damaging. There must be consequences for such malicious and false stories. I will no longer tolerate these spiteful attacks against me.”
The lawsuit, initiated through Saluny Advocates LLP, demands that Obare retract his allegations and issue a public apology to Kyallo.
Additionally, it requires the apology to be published prominently. Should Obare fail to comply, he faces potential libel damages and a restraining order preventing further defamatory content targeting Kyallo and Jones.
Kyallo’s legal action underscores a growing trend among public figures to hold social media users accountable for spreading misinformation.
This case is expected to set a precedent regarding online defamation and the responsibilities of digital content creators.
