Hannah Benta breaks silence after private video leak
By William Muthama, March 22, 2026Content creator Hannah Benta has come out publicly for the first time following the leak of a private video that circulated on social media.
In an Instagram statement on Sunday, March 22, 2026, the mother of two condemned the breach of her privacy and called for accountability.
“I am Hannah Benta, a mother to an amazing son, Baby K, a daughter, a sister, and much more. This is my first address ever since this happened. Ignore all other pseudo accounts purporting to be me in addressing this matter. I haven’t addressed this matter. This is THE FIRST OFFICIAL STATEMENT,” Benta wrote.
The content creator described the leak as a form of gender-based violence (GBV), including emotional, psychological, physical, and economic abuse.
Benta stressed that private matters intended for limited audiences should remain confidential and called the leak a serious violation of personal privacy.
“The private matter circulating in my Telegram was meant for private eyes only. The leak of my privacy is a violent violation and is gender-based violence,” she said.
Urgent legal warning
She warned that anyone responsible for sharing the video has two hours to remove it from all platforms, after which she will take legal action to hold them accountable.
“You have 2 hours to delete everywhere you have posted and everywhere you circulated; otherwise, we will pursue this matter legally to the very end,” she stated.
She emphasised that her focus remains on healing and protecting her family while pursuing justice. “This is a crime. The culprit should be held accountable, and I am concentrating on protecting my family and seeking legal recourse,” Benta said.
The content creator also called on public institutions and the wider community to stand against gender-based violence.
She urged fellow Women Representatives, the Ministry of Gender, and organisations addressing GBV to step in and prevent similar abuses.
Benta emphasised the need for collective efforts to protect victims and raise awareness against cyberbullying and online harassment.
“Let us stand together against gender-based violence,” she said.
