Kenyan actor and content creator Abel Mutua is on the receiving end after he admitted to adding a kissing scene on Tahidi High’s script so that he could get an opportunity to kiss Sarah Hassan.
After acknowledging that he may have used his position as a writer to coerce actress Sarah Hassan, who played Tanya in the show, into a kiss scene, the actor has drawn criticism on Tiktok.
This anger comes after rumors circulated that Abel staged the scene as retaliation for Sarah Hassan allegedly rejecting his advances toward romance.
Abel featured in a recent Mic Cheque podcast episode when he appeared and freely acknowledged these charges.
” Tanya, that is Sarah Hassan, was very polite, but during our final episode, I said to myself, ‘Oh my God, this girl has been evading me for so long.’In the second part of our final scene, I gave her a serious kiss in class,” Abel Mutua disclosed.
He said that it was in an unavoidable circumstance since the scene required them to kiss.
“Oh my God. Now, how could you refuse when the script demanded it,” Abel delightfully opened up.
A tiktoker made a video criticizing Abel and the podcasters for openly glorifying sexual exploitation in the episode with Mic Cheque Podcast.
” Sarah Hassan atawatch hio episode yote aone ata the kissing scene wasn’t even in the script this is a man alikua na his own selfish desires and the only way angeifulfil ni kuiweka kwa script ndio sarah hassan asikue na choice,” she began.
She added that having such a big name in the film industry should not allow him to admit such and it makes her wonder how many more scriptwriters have twisted the script to exploit actresses.

She condemned how the podcasters were okay with the confession as it is a concerning confession considering Sarah’s consent wasn’t considered.
”And the podcasters wanamencourage, like its just a homeboys conversation..like its nothing and this man is basically admitting to manipulating a script to do what he wanted at that moment without consent is very twisted,” she concluded
