Influencer and content creator Chebet Ronoh has recently found herself in the middle of controversy after a friend, identified as Mark, allegedly leaked private photos and chats online suggesting she had been assaulted. The situation quickly escalated across social media, with fans and followers split between concern and confusion over the conflicting narratives.
The drama began when Mark claimed that Ronoh had been physically assaulted while hanging out with a female friend and the friend’s boyfriend. According to Mark, the altercation began over food—Ronoh reportedly asked the man to pay for food he had eaten, and the confrontation allegedly turned violent. In a bid to seek justice for his friend, Mark shared photos and messages with a popular blogger, hoping to expose what he described as abuse and betrayal.
Mark claimed that Ronoh had confided in him about the incident, detailing how her friend’s boyfriend had hit her while the friend stood by and did nothing. He expressed disappointment, stating that Ronoh was “surrounded by snakes.” He also referenced a past incident involving CCTV footage, suggesting this wasn’t the first time Ronoh had experienced betrayal or abuse in her social circles.
Adding to the intrigue, a video surfaced allegedly showing the friend’s boyfriend charging at Ronoh while they were lying on a bed. The clip seemed to show a moment when the friend informed the man that Ronoh was recording him, leading to further tension. Despite the disturbing visuals and narratives being shared, Ronoh responded swiftly and firmly denied the allegations.
In her public statement, Ronoh insisted she was safe and sound at home. She labeled the images as edited and called the claims defamatory. She asked the blogger to take down the photo, but the blogger refused unless they could video call to confirm Ronoh’s condition. Ronoh expressed frustration, saying the photo was fake and the story should not be given further attention.
Following her denial, Mark took the issue a step further by leaking their private chats. In the messages, Ronoh appeared upset and pleaded with him to retract the story. “Please say it is a lie. This is a police case. Why do such a thing? What is wrong with you?” she wrote. She accused him of betrayal and insisted he had no right to share personal matters online.
Mark defended his actions, saying his intention was not to embarrass her but to defend her against violence. “It is not evil to tell the truth and to stand up for you. If you want to be mad that I stood up for you, be mad,” he responded passionately. He expressed outrage over the situation and emphasized that Ronoh didn’t deserve such treatment.
Ronoh responded harshly, accusing him of chasing online attention by airing her private issues. She insisted that the claims were false and reiterated that she was fine. The fallout between the two friends has since fueled debates online about loyalty, truth, and the blurred lines between private pain and public exposure.
Notably, this isn’t the first time Ronoh has spoken out about being mistreated. Earlier in the year, she had posted a video where another friend allegedly assaulted her, revealing the emotional toll it had taken and how it affected her ability to trust those around her.
As the dust settles, questions remain about what really happened and whether the situation will escalate into legal proceedings. For now, Ronoh maintains her stance: she was not assaulted, and the images shared do not reflect reality.
