Kenya, March 9 -- Kenyan actress Maggie Kasmall has come forward with a shocking revelation, claiming she paid a friend over Ksh.100,000 to prevent him from posting her nuke photos online-only for him to share them anyway.
The disclosure, made during an emotional interview on a local entertainment show, has ignited a firestorm of reactions across social media platforms.
Kasmall, known for her roles in popular TV dramas, alleged that the unnamed friend had obtained compromising images of her and threatened to make them public unless she paid up.
"I gave him the money to protect my dignity and my career," she said, visibly distraught.
"But he betrayed me and posted them regardless." The actress did not specify when the incident occurred but confirmed the leaked content has since circulated widely online.
The betrayal has sparked outrage among her fans, with many condemning the friend's actions as extortion and a violation of trust.
Fans on social media had a mix of support for Kasmall and calls for legal action, with some users questioning why she opted to pay rather than report the matter to authorities.
However, Maggie Kasmall have not revealed whether she plans to pursue charges, though she implied at aiming fairness during the interview.
