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.
