Kennedy Rapudo breaks silence after being linked to another woman
Businessman Kennedy Rapudo has finally addressed viral allegations claiming he recently took another woman out for dinner, amid growing speculation that his relationship with wife Amber Ray is on the rocks.
In a statement shared on his Instagram stories on Monday, August 4, 2025, Rapudo noted that while he had initially taken a step back from social media to avoid unnecessary drama, he could no longer remain silent as lies continued to gain ground in his absence.

He clarified that the woman being linked to him was part of a group that had approached him while he was adding pressure to his car tyres.
“I’ve stayed off social media. Not because I’m blind to what’s being said, but because I’ve chosen peace over pettiness. But sometimes silence just gives liars space to get comfortable,” he wrote.
According to Rapudo, the group requested help with parking, and he offered assistance out of basic decency.
However, the incident has since been distorted online into a rumour suggesting he was on a secret date with a woman he is interested in.
Rapudo dismissed the claims as pure fabrication, stating that he not only declined a selfie request from one of the women at the scene, but also made it clear he had no interest in any interaction beyond helping them out.
“So let me make this clear: yesterday, I was adding pressure to my tyres when a group asked me to help them park. Out of nothing but basic decency, I helped. One of them tried to take a selfie; I politely declined and even made it clear I wasn’t interested. No flirting, no exchange, nothing beyond helping,” he clarified.
In addition to the public statement, Rapudo posted screenshots of a direct message he sent to the woman in question, confronting her for fuelling the false claims.
In the message, he questioned why she had chosen to misrepresent the incident when she and her friends were the ones who had approached him for help with their tyre issue.
The businessman then expressed disappointment over how simple acts of kindness were now being used to create misleading narratives.
He noted that while he had tried to remain calm, respectful and kind, the manipulation of facts had pushed him to respond publicly.
“This is exactly why people withdraw. I’ve tried to be kind, respectful, and calm, but when kindness is twisted into a narrative I never wrote, I shut the door,” he added.
He concluded his statement by declaring that he would no longer allow himself to be drawn into such drama and would henceforth protect his peace by withdrawing from unnecessary interactions.
“If helping people is now a gateway for lies, I will keep my energy to myself,” he wrote.
