Kenyan content creator Thee Pluto has strongly condemned viral claims made by a male TikToker who alleged that the two had a sexual relationship. The incident, which surfaced shortly after Pluto’s Bali trip went viral online, has quickly escalated into a legal matter as the creator vows to defend his reputation and family.
The Claims and Fallout
The controversy began when the TikToker posted a video alleging intimacy with Pluto and demanding payment in exchange for keeping supposed private videos offline. He also referenced Pluto’s Bali vacation, joking about interactions during the trip and claiming he would not “engage further” without being paid. The remarks spread quickly, fueling speculation and backlash across social media.
Pluto’s Outrage and Response
Pluto responded with anger and disappointment, dismissing the claims as false, offensive, and damaging. “This is so shameful and disrespectful to me and my family. A lame joke has turned into something evil. Let us deal with this one lawfully,” he said, emphasizing that his years of hard work would not be undermined by defamatory remarks.
He confirmed plans to pursue legal action for defamation, warning that online clout-chasing at the expense of others’ reputations will have consequences. His stance has drawn significant support from fans, many of whom encouraged him to take the matter to court to set a precedent against false allegations online.
A Pattern of False Accusations
This is not the first time Pluto has faced damaging claims. In a previous incident, a female TikToker falsely claimed he had fathered her child, sharing photos online to back her claims. She later issued a public apology, admitting her goal had been to grow her online following rather than defame Pluto. The case highlighted the growing risks influencers face from false narratives in the digital era.
Wider Implications
The latest controversy shines a light on misinformation, harassment, and exploitation in digital spaces. For public figures like Pluto, false claims not only threaten personal reputations but also strain family life and mental wellbeing. By opting for legal redress, Pluto is positioning himself as an advocate for accountability in Kenya’s content creation industry.
Looking Ahead
Despite the turbulence, Pluto continues to share lifestyle content, including highlights from his Bali adventure such as his viral flyboarding experience. His resilience reflects a growing reality for online creators—balancing fame with the responsibility of safeguarding personal integrity against opportunistic attacks.
As the legal battle develops, fans and industry watchers alike will be following closely. The outcome may mark a defining moment in how Kenya’s digital community confronts defamation and online accountability.
