Sometime last week, Chira went live on Tiktok at night and from the live I think the topic was Azziad and he uttered some words. The words were very defamatory and he did not stop there, he also went ahead and gave out her number. My client for the past week has been buzzed with a lot of calls and messages, some of which are actually insults because of that.
