She denied it outright, going so far as to empty her bag in front of him as proof. Visibly distressed and in tears, she told him:
"This is so disappointing. Why would I steal when I can buy my own?" The confrontation ended with Truhov conceding he had likely left the headphones in the car.
Choice Kinoti clarifies timing of the leaked video
When the footage began making the rounds, speculation mounted that Choice and Truhov had reunited.
However , Kinoti told TUKO.co.ke that the video was recorded months earlier, during the period she was in a relationship with him.
She suggested Truhov had started releasing older footage again, a pattern he had displayed before, and asked the public not to read anything into when the clip appeared.
She added that she is currently doing well.
Who Is Yaytseslav Truhov?
Vladislav Liukov, known online as Yaytseslav Truhov, is a 36-year-old Russian man who attracted widespread condemnation after allegedly using Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses to secretly record women in Kenya, Ghana and other countries.
His approach reportedly involved befriending women in public spaces, exchanging numbers and sometimes inviting them back to his apartment, all while continuing to film without their knowledge.
The footage was distributed on TikTok and YouTube, with longer recordings allegedly sold through a private Telegram channel for a fee.
Kenyan and Ghanaian authorities were reported to have sought accountability, though Truhov was said to have kept posting content before eventually departing.
Choice became one of the most recognised women tied to Truhov after a video of her washing his laundry spread widely.
She later disclosed she had genuinely believed the two were in a relationship and that he had promised to bring her to Russia.
The fallout from the viral content was severe: she said it damaged her marriage, with her partner threatening to leave her.
She also publicly addressed speculation about her HIV status, saying the two had always practised safety.
