Actress Catherine Kamau alias Kate Actress has issued a demand letter to TUKO extra over alleged defamatory remarks.
In the letter, Kate through her lawyer Waithera Ngugi claimed the blog used its YouTube channel in the segment ‘Chat with Lilly’ to paint her as an immoral person.
According to Kate, one of the contributors Hussein Yusuf uttered defamatory remarks against her.
