Social media personality Lydia Wanjiru has responded to assault allegations made by fellow creator Judy Palmer by sharing a photo of injuries on her face and claiming she also sustained injuries during the alleged altercation.

The online exchange has drawn widespread attention, with both women offering different versions of events through their social media accounts.


Lydia responds with photos of injuries.

A day after Judy Palmer alleged that she had been assaulted, Lydia Wanjiru posted a photo showing visible bruises on her face.

Alongside the image, Lydia urged Judy to reveal the full account of what transpired.
“Speak the whole truth! I have bite marks on my body.”

Her response suggested that the confrontation left both parties injured, though she did not provide further details about the circumstances.


Judy Palmer maintains her allegations.

Before Lydia’s response, Judy Palmer had shared a series of posts accusing Lydia of physically attacking her. In one of the posts, Judy alleged that the altercation escalated into violence and claimed Lydia had access to her social media accounts.
“I will f***ing expose everything because I don’t have anything to lose.”

Judy further alleged:
“That was @lydiawanjiru.ke walking on me, and she literally deleted my videos juu she has my account logins. She f***ing beat me up!”

She also explained why she initially made the allegations public.
“When I posted that video, it was for my safety, not gossip.”

Judy thanked supporters who had reached out to check on her welfare while declining to discuss further details.
“To those who genuinely checked in with me, thank you; I appreciate it, and I am safe. To those who are really trying to get gossip from me, sorry, we don’t do that here.”
