A 19-year-old Kenyan woman has broken her silence after being linked to viral videos involving Russian national Yaytseslav Truhov, whose street interactions with women have sparked heated debate online.
Truhov has been trending after clips surfaced showing him approaching women in public spaces, engaging them in brief conversations, and allegedly inviting them to his apartment.
The encounters were reportedly recorded using Meta smart glasses, raising concerns about privacy and consent among Kenyan social media users.
Kalekye, who appeared in one of the widely shared videos, confirmed she was the woman seen speaking with the Russian national.
Speaking during an interview with SPM Buzz and YouTuber Miss Trudy, she addressed claims that she later visited Truhov’s apartment.
According to her, no such meeting ever took place.
She explained that after they exchanged contacts, Truhov allegedly sent her a location to a short-stay apartment later that evening.
Kalekye said the request made her uncomfortable because she had only just met him in a public setting.
She maintained that she was not willing to visit a private apartment belonging to someone she barely knew.
The 19-year-old noted she would have considered meeting again, but strictly in a public place such as a restaurant.
Her clarification comes amid growing speculation about women featured in the viral clips.
Some social media users had gone further, spreading unverified claims regarding the HIV status of women linked to the videos.
Kalekye dismissed the rumours as baseless and harmful.
She revealed that she had already informed her TikTok followers that she went for an HIV test to protect her name and mental wellbeing.
According to her, she documented the entire process, including purchasing the test kits and consulting a medical professional at a clinic.
She now plans to release the footage publicly to silence speculation and restore her peace of mind.
Kalekye insisted that online assumptions about her encounter with Truhov were exaggerated and did not reflect the full story.
She hinted that what many believed happened between them was far from the truth.
The controversy surrounding Truhov has triggered wider conversations about online consent, privacy, and the ethics of recording strangers for content.
While some viewers treat the clips as harmless social experiments, others argue they cross personal boundaries.
Kalekye’s decision to speak out adds a personal perspective to the ongoing debate.
Her account challenges some of the narratives circulating online and underscores the pressure faced by young women thrust into viral moments.
As the story continues to unfold, attention remains fixed on both Truhov’s content and the experiences of the women featured.
For Kalekye, however, the priority appears clear — setting the record straight and protecting her reputation.
