Media Personality Betty Kyallo Speaks After Alleged Explicit Video

Media personality Betty Kyallo has issued a statement following social media reports that she featured in a supposed explicit video.

Through her management team Medios Limited, the former KTN and K24 news anchor termed the reports that have been trending online as fake and malicious, adding that they are meant to tarnish her name and brand.

Kyallo said she has since filed a report with the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) against those responsible for the fake reports.

 “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,” Medios said on Tuesday.

“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.”

Medios stated that it has taken more than a decade for Kyallo to build her brand, which serves as an inspiration to many, and will not allow the same to be tainted on the 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,” the management company stated.

“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.”
