"I'm shocked to read the comments," she wrote on Nairobi Gossip's Instagram page, expressing her disapproval of how such serious issues are mocked online. You guys make people want to commit suicide after everything they've been through, which is why they never report or post this shit. Have fun laughing.

Avril's phone number was unreachable when contacted.
Following their viewing of the images, a large number of Kenyans took to social media to express their outrage, condemning domestic abuse and calling for accountability:
Avril and J Blessing have been secretly dating for a while but have never disclosed their relationship to the public.
