Opande James, a married man, faces heavy backlash for filming an intoxicated woman inappropriately in a club. A video circulating online shows him lifting the woman’s dress while she appears unaware. Watch the video.
This clip has sparked outrage across social media in Kenya, with many calling his actions disrespectful and a violation of privacy.
The incident seems to have happened in a nightclub. The woman looks heavily drunk, dancing or standing unsteadily. James holds his phone close, recording as he pulls up her dress from behind. She does not react much in the short clip.
The video ends quickly, but it has spread fast on platforms like X, Facebook, and Instagram. Posts from accounts tracking Kenyan news shared it with strong warnings about the content.
People reacted right away. Comments called James out for taking advantage of someone vulnerable. Many said a married man should know better. Women shared stories of similar experiences in clubs, feeling unsafe.
Some tagged police or authorities, asking for action. Others blamed club security for not stepping in. The video got thousands of views and shares in hours.
James has not spoken publicly about it yet. His social media profiles stay quiet. No one knows if the woman has reported it or if police are involved.
In Kenya, filming someone without consent, especially in private moments, can lead to charges. Laws on privacy and harassment apply, but cases like this often stay online without formal steps.
This fits a pattern seen before. Videos of people in compromising situations go viral quickly. Phones make recording easy in crowded places like clubs.
Alcohol plays a role in many such incidents. Clubs in Nairobi and other cities have rules, but enforcement varies. Bouncers focus on fights more than discreet filming.
Public figures and influencers joined the criticism. Some posted about respect and consent. One said men need to protect women in those settings, not exploit them. Calls grew for clubs to ban phones or add better lighting and cameras for safety.
The woman’s identity stays hidden in the clip. Her face is not clear. Many hope she is okay and gets support if needed. Friends or family might have seen it by now. These videos can cause lasting harm, even if short.
No confirmation on where or when exactly it happened. The club looks like many in urban areas, with lights and music. James appears in his 30s or 40s, dressed casually. The backlash focuses on his marriage too. People say he betrayed trust at home.
Social media keeps the story alive. Hashtags or phrases like the one in posts trend locally. Some defend him, saying it was a joke or the woman knew. But most comments condemn it. Debates go on about men’s behaviour in nightlife.
Police have not commented. If a report comes in, they could investigate for indecent acts or cyber harassment. Past cases show mixed outcomes. Some lead to apologies, others to court.
This event reminds people to watch out in social spots. Drink responsibly. Look after friends. Report bad behaviour. Clubs could train staff better on interventions.
For now, the video circulates with warnings. James faces public judgement. The woman remains anonymous in the discussion. Stories like this highlight issues around consent and respect in everyday settings.
