Full Statement
Below is Kirabo Kisitu’s complete statement:
To everyone who has seen or been affected by the recent unauthorized release of my private images, I am deeply sorry.
These photos were taken and shared in confidence and were never meant for public view. Their leak without my consent has caused hurt, embarrassment, and distress—not only to me but also to my family, friends, and anyone who has been exposed to them. I take full responsibility for the fact that they exist, and I regret any pain or discomfort this situation has brought to others.
This was a profound invasion of my privacy. Non-consensual sharing of intimate images is never acceptable, and I am working with the appropriate authorities to address the matter and prevent further distribution.
I kindly ask that people stop sharing or viewing these images out of respect for my privacy and basic human decency.
I’m focusing on my well-being right now and on moving forward from this.
I appreciate the support from those who have reached out, and I respectfully request space as I deal with this.
The incident has drawn attention to the broader issue of non-consensual sharing of private intimate content, often referred to as revenge porn, which remains a significant concern for public figures and ordinary individuals alike in the digital age.
Kisitu, known for her engaging content on social media platforms, has asked for privacy and understanding as she navigates the aftermath of the leak.
