Past troubles

Hamisa is among celebrities who have landed in trouble with the government in the past over sharing indecent photos on social media.

On July 19, 2018, Ms Mobetto was forced to explain why her pregnancy shoot photos had gone viral on social media.

Hamisa stated that the alleged Photos had been uploaded by impostors who were using her name on social media. She added that the photos were taken during her visit to Nairobi for commercial purposes.

Ms Mobetto went ahead to ask for forgiveness, requesting the government to intervene in order to catch up with the impostor who was using her photos wrongly.
