Kisitu Kirabo, a Ugandan social media influencer and philanthropist, is at the center of a major scandal following the leak of her private intimate videos and photos this week.
The content spread rapidly across porn sites and social platforms, drawing thousands of views within days. Many describe it as explicit sex material involving the influencer.
Kirabo, who has around 22,000 followers, first claimed the images were AI-generated fakes. She later changed her position in a public statement.
In her apology, she took responsibility for the existence of the material. She described the non-consensual leak as a serious invasion of privacy that hurt her family and friends.
She urged netizens to stop viewing or sharing the videos out of basic decency. Kirabo confirmed she is cooperating with authorities under Uganda's Computer Misuse Act, which criminalizes unauthorized sharing of such content.
The incident has ignited heated debates online about digital privacy in East Africa. Reactions range from calls for empathy, with some urging people to treat her like a sister, to harsh judgment and widespread memes.
On X, users shared clips and commentary. Some highlighted her background from the Mbarara and Ankole region, noting her apparent lack of distress in certain circulating videos.
Critics have been brutal, mocking her public persona as a philanthropist against the leaked content. Others question her initial denial and subsequent apology.
This is not the first time Ugandan influencers face such leaks. The case underscores ongoing challenges with revenge porn and online exploitation in the region.
Kirabo's OnlyFans-linked content and TikTok presence amplified the scandal's reach. Searches for "Kisitu Kirabo sex video" surged on multiple adult platforms.
As investigations continue, the influencer has asked for space. The episode highlights the thin line between personal content creation and public vulnerability in the digital age.
No further official statements have emerged as of the latest reports. The public remains divided between support for privacy rights and demands for accountability from content creators.
