Public anger has erupted online after a disturbing video surfaced showing content creators allegedly harassing women in public before slapping them, reportedly in the name of creating viral content.
The clip, which has been widely shared on TikTok, X, and Instagram, shows the creators approaching unsuspecting women in what appears to be a prank-style setup.
In the video, the women are mocked and verbally provoked before being suddenly slapped, leaving them shocked and distressed as bystanders look on.
Many Kenyans online have strongly condemned the incident, describing the actions as reckless, abusive, and criminal. Critics accuse the creators of using humiliation and violence as a shortcut to fame and online views.
Human rights activists and gender advocates have called for the immediate arrest of those involved, warning that such videos promote gender-based violence and normalize abuse under the guise of entertainment.
“This is not content, this is assault,” one social media user wrote, while others demanded swift action from the police and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
Several well-known influencers have publicly distanced themselves from the incident, urging young creators to respect boundaries and understand that consent and safety should always come before likes and followers.
As pressure continues to mount online, many Kenyans are now waiting to see whether authorities will move to identify and charge those responsible, sending a clear message that violence for content will not be tolerated.
