Azziad’s lawyer said the TikToker not only defamed their client but also shared her phone number with the public, a move that caused her distress.
“Sometime last week Chira went live on TikTok at night and the Topic was Azziad he uttered some words which I cannot repeat here but those words are defamatory and he did not stop there he went ahead and gave and gave out her number,” the lawyer is quoted by The Star.
“My client has for the past week been buzzed with a lot of calls and messages some of which are insults and my client was not happy. Since we have the computer misuse and cybercrime act she chose to take legal action.”
