Kenyan socialite and business woman Bridget Achieng has talked about how she was allegedly sexually molested by Ringtone Apoko.

Through an Instagram Live segment last night, she narrated how the whole thing transpired and told people not to be so quick to criticize others.

'I met Ringtone while ministering at Winners chapel while still in campus.

At the time I wanted to use my voce to minister to people.

He approached me and told me I sang well and I told him I wanted to produce songs but I did not have resources.'

Bridget says Ringtone offered to help her produce some of her songs, the only thing she was to do is go to his studio which was in his house.

'He told me to go to his place the next Saturday as he had a studio with everything else I needed at his place.

As I was on the couch waiting for the producer he closed the door and grabbed me and pinned me down and that is how the assault happened.

I went to Westland's police station and tried to report just the way I was. So there was no money involved I was just a young girl chasing her dream.'

Bridget added that being a socialite now and a celebrity has made it hard for people to believe her with some saying she is clout chasing.

Adding,

'It's not been easy for me.

My childhood was so difficult from being a 'fat' child and even as a teenager I went through a lot.

My uncle used to take advantage of me and I still had to go back home everyday.

I have had to fight a lot and do everything to be the woman I am today.

I am not clout chasing. Seeing people come out has given me the motivation to share my story.

Mwenye maskio askie.

Ringtone denied the allegation claiming she is clout chasing and went ahead to insult and body shame her.
