Tacha Condemns False Rape Allegations After Mirabel Admits Fabrication

Former Big Brother Naija housemate and social media influencer Symply Tacha has spoken out against false rape allegations, following the revelation by TikTok user Mirabel that her earlier claim of being raped was fabricated.

In a video shared on her Instagram page, Tacha emphasised the seriousness of sexual assault and the dangers of spreading unverified claims. “Rape is a very serious issue. Women should never weaponise rape for any reason, because at the end of the day, you are taking away from the real victims,” she said.

Tacha noted that false accusations undermine trust in genuine survivors and embolden rape apologists, making it harder for future victims to be believed. She stressed that individuals who make fabricated claims should face legal consequences. “If any girl comes out to accuse a guy falsely of raping her, I honestly think she should be taught a lesson,” she stated.

While acknowledging that mental health or personal challenges may sometimes play a role, Tacha argued that penalties are necessary to underscore the gravity of false allegations. She added that admitting to fabrication does not negate the reality that sexual assault remains a serious problem in society. “I am not going to back down from the fact that women still do get raped. I am not going back down from the fact that there are real victims out there,” she said.

Tacha also highlighted the emotional toll of false accusations, saying, “It toys with your mental health,” and called for responsible social media usage to prevent defamation and misinformation.

The controversy surrounding Mirabel, who admitted to lying about her rape claim in a conversation that went viral online, has prompted the Ogun State Police Command to announce plans to arrest and prosecute her. The case has reignited conversations about online accountability, defamation, and the protection of genuine survivors of sexual violence.

Legal experts have emphasised that spreading false allegations of rape can result in defamation charges or other legal consequences, while legitimate survivors should be supported through proper legal channels to ensure justice is served.

Tacha’s intervention has drawn public attention to the importance of due process and the need for social media users to exercise caution when discussing sensitive issues like sexual assault.
