The actor has however denied all allegations saying; “I entirely deny the story that is currently circulating about me. I’m extremely distressed that I’m being linked to this. I am passionate about creating an environment where women feel – and are – safe and respected…”

She then vividly narrated the ordeal, “It was Ameru Festival 2016. We had just wrapped up the last day, whole team was having dinner/drinks to celebrate a job well done. I left the group early coz I was exhausted from shooting 2 days straight. So gf stayed behind to keep her friend company, and Nick Mutuma joined them at their table. He kept trying to get my gf to go back to his hotel room. The more she said NO, the more aggressive he got. Eventually she decided to leave, but he followed her out to the parking lot. He grabbed her, trying to pull her away from the cab she had called. He was now trying to physically get her to go with him. My gf wrestled him off, and by this time her friends had come out to the parking lot. So Nick let her go. But not before grabbing and squeezing her ass and telling her he likes her body. That’s when she really flipped out. All along she had been trying not to cause a scene, playing it off that maybe he was just drunk but Nick grabbing her ass set her off. So she yelled and screamed, and caused a scene. And Nick eventually had to walk off. And she was finally able to get into her cab and back to her room,” she tweeted.

Hours later, 6    joined the conversation, saying, “thanks for sharing your girlfriend’s story. I shared it with my girlfriends and it turns out, there are more victims out there”.

She then went ahead to share screenshot of her friend, also, accusing Nick Mutuma for “forcing himself on her” to the point of calling for help in the middle of the night.
