Eric Omondi’s ex-girlfriend Chantal Grazioli was allegedly battered by her boyfriend Nicola Traldi.
The comedian called out Traldi for assaulting Chantal in a video he shared on social media which showed the extent of the injuries she suffered.
However, Nicola Traldi denied ever laying a finger on Chantal, claiming that he was being framed for something he didn’t do.
Chantal has since come out to narrate what exactly transpired on the said day that she was battered.
Below is her explanation:
This is to bring to the public limelight that nicolatraldi came drunk, agitated and broke into my house Friday 17th morning since I had refused to let him in as I didn’t want any confrontations with him while drunk.
He assaulted me really badly and pushed me down the stairs as you saw from the video that was posted by @ericomondi. The photos posted as well are from previous assaults, it being not the 1st, the 2nd, the 3rd and unaccountable times that Nicola has assaulted and threatened me.
On numerous occasions he has asked me to shun away from the media which I did due to fear of being humiliated and assaulted. I was afraid to come out but on Friday being the worst, I reached out to my mum to no avail, in the meantime my neighbors, security and caretaker came to my rescue.
I reached out to Eric who was able to come through and assisted me from there henceforth and also came out to the public on my behalf. We followed all the protocols that were required from us by the police and hospital ( both private and public) but until now Nicola has not been arrested and he took my sim card, my phone, car keys and my house keys.
While he was assaulting me, he threatened me that he would come back and do it again and there was nothing I would do because he knows the big people. This puts my life in danger since I have no idea what he will do next.
If he claims that he is being framed why can he not present himself at the police station, he is not reachable either. It is traumatizing and not easy for me physically and emotionally, neither is it not easy for any form of GBV victims irrespective of who is involved and especially those who cannot come out and speak about it. Majority are helplessly dying in silent. It is very very sad GBV is not taken seriously in this country.
