Daddie Marto Responds to Abuse Allegations in Public Statement

Kenyan actor and media personality Martin Githinji, popularly known as Daddie Marto, has issued a public statement in response to explosive allegations levelled against him on social media earlier this week.

The allegations, shared by his wife, described a deeply disturbing incident of physical assault, emotional abuse, and betrayal. The online post, which went viral, painted a grim picture of their relationship and drew widespread public attention and concern.

In a statement released Monday morning, Githinji strongly denied the allegations, calling them “false and harmful” and “a significantly distorted and one-sided picture of events.”

“First and foremost, I want to state unequivocally: I do not condone violence of any kind – physical, emotional, or psychological,” he said.

While acknowledging the seriousness of the matter, Githinji maintained that key context had been omitted from the viral account. He indicated that evidence exists which would offer a “more complete and accurate picture” but stopped short of sharing details, citing respect for legal processes and the privacy of those involved.

“Rather than engage in public confrontations, I believe it is essential to allow the appropriate channels to handle this matter thoroughly, fairly, and with the dignity it deserves,” he added.

Githinji revealed that he is fully cooperating with legal authorities and has sought redress to ensure both his safety and that of others impacted. He emphasized that while the matter is painful—particularly because children are involved—he will not allow “the rewriting of history through slander and public harassment.”

As public discourse around the incident continues to gain traction, the actor called for restraint and compassion from the public.

“To those who know me, have worked with me, or supported me over the years, I sincerely thank you for your patience and continued trust… I am committed to navigating this challenging period with integrity, dignity, and respect for all.”

The unfolding situation has divided online opinion, with some rallying in support of the alleged victim, while others urge caution until the full facts are established through legal and due process.

As of now, no legal charges have been made public, and further developments are awaited. Both parties have indicated a preference for handling the matter through official channels, though the public fallout continues to intensify.

This remains a developing story.
