Los Angeles-based Kenyan chess champion and comedian Elsa Majimbo has surprisingly removed her tweets about her encounter with supermodel Naomi Campbell and the subsequent viral TikTok where she claimed to have been blackballed by the supermodel.
Elsa, on February 19, explained her decision to delete the tweets in a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter).
"I stand by my words. Content in my decision. The tweets are deleted due to seeking peace, not fear. Y'all need to understand this is something that has happened since I was 19. My goal now is happiness," Elsa tweeted.
The tweet in question followed Elsa's earlier account on February 15, where she shared details about meeting the British supermodel, the events that transpired, and their relationship.
In her typical indoor video style, Elsa delved into the intricacies of her friendship with the supermodel, narrating its history and the challenges it faced.
Elsa went further on her X account, revealing how the situation with Naomi depressed her and led her to alcoholism at 19.
After deleting her initial tweet, Elsa received both support and criticism from netizens.
Some commended her for speaking up against alleged mistreatment, while others cautioned about potential repercussions. Here are some comments:
Collen: "Don’t be scared Elsa, tell us did she harass you into deleting those tweets? … Please reply quickly; we don’t have all day… we have to attend to other people’s business that has nothing to do with us."
Ling: "Your earlier tweet saying you have freed yourself tugged at my heart. But in doing that, you’ve made an enemy, one we’ve seen win over and over again.
She is the only person I’ve seen come back from the kinds of things she’s done repeatedly. So you’re really brave for that. And we all believe you. We can only wish you the best and continue to support your content."
