Rachel Mwangi(@MwangiRachel) whose partner, Koome Gitobu(@KoomeGitobu ) wrote the viral Twitter thread that implicated Actor and Producer, Nick Mutuma back in November 2017 of sexual assault has said the matter among the three of them was put to bed years ago and doesn’t understand why Mutuma is.
Rachel Mwangi took to social media to make it clear that the issue between herself and Nick Mutuma had been put to bed and even moved on past the situation.
“This is something I thought I had put behind me.” Rachel wrote on Twitter. “This has been a very private & personal issue for my family and I that I feel I must now speak up on”
“In 2016, there was an incident between Nick Mutuma and I, that my partner Koome Gitobu posted on social media in November 2017.” she went on.
Nick Mutuma breaks silence over sexual assault allegations
Rachel Mwangi went on to clarify that Nick Mutuma had reached out to her and her partner and that they had resolved the issued amicable, and privately in 2017, the same year her partner came forward with the viral Twitter thread.
“Nick Mutuma reached out to us shortly after, and we resolved it amicably and privately in 2017.”
Rachel’s tweet read in part. “I want to be very clear; I would never allow the voices of any victims to be silenced.
I believe in accountability and I believe that any person that perpetrates any form of violence or assault must be held accountable. However, this is not such an incident.”
I stand by my partner, I stand by her statement and I would hope that you all do the same.

Rachel opened up on a Twitter thread saying she believed she had put her situation with Nick Mutuma behind her until the issue resurfaced recently.
“I thought I had put this behind me and moved on, until the issue recently resurfaced on social media.”
Rachel who is happily settled with her partner reiterated that she doesn’t hold any ill will against Nick Mutuma and wishes nothing but the best and more blessing coming his way.
She’s sad to see people using whatever issue she had with Nick Mutuma years ago that has since been resolved to tear him down for no reason.
“I personally have not ill will against Nick Mutuma, I admire the progress he made in his career and I wish him all the best in his future endeavours.” Rachel Mwangi sent out the tweet, adding, “Like I said, this issue was resolved and I hate to see people using it to tear Nick down.”
