Reality TV star and media personality Tacha has strongly condemned false rape allegations, describing them as dangerous, damaging, and deeply unfair to both victims and the accused.
Reacting to the ongoing controversy surrounding the “Mirabel” case, Tacha took to social media to express her concerns, stressing that while sexual assault is a serious issue that must never be trivialized, making false accusations is equally harmful and should carry clear consequences.
According to her, false rape claims weaken the credibility of real survivors who already struggle to speak up due to fear, stigma, and societal pressure. She emphasized that justice must remain balanced, protecting genuine victims while ensuring that innocent individuals are not wrongfully condemned in the court of public opinion.
Tacha further noted that allegations of such gravity should be handled responsibly and investigated thoroughly before conclusions are drawn. She warned against trial-by-social-media culture, where reputations can be permanently damaged without due process.
The former Big Brother Naija housemate insisted that accountability must apply across the board. “If someone is found to have deliberately made a false accusation, there should be consequences,” she said, adding that fairness is critical in maintaining trust in conversations around sexual violence.
Her comments have sparked widespread debate online, with supporters praising her for advocating balance and responsibility, while others stressed the importance of ensuring that survivors are not discouraged from reporting genuine cases.
As discussions continue, Tacha’s stance highlights the complexity of addressing sexual assault allegations in the digital age , where advocacy, accountability, and due process must carefully coexist.
