Miss World Kenya 2016
Roshanara Ebrahim was crowned Miss World Kenya in 2016, but has been stripped of her title following a series of controversies. She was replaced by Evelyn Njambi the at that time reigning ‘Miss Kiambu’.

After losing her crown, Roshanara was embroiled in a lawsuit after her ex-boyfriend Frank Zahlten leaked her nude photos online, culminating in her being ‘dethroned’ of the Miss Kenya title. Following this, Roshanara sued her ex-boyfriend and the Miss Kenya organizer Ashleys Kenya.

A high court ruling delivered on December 7, 2016, ruled in favour of Roshanara, concluding that non consensual circulation of intimate images was a gross human rights issue, and that it breached the right to one’s privacy under Article 31 (c) of Kenya’s Constitution.

The third respondent, Frank Zahlten  Roshanara’s ex-boyfriend, was required to pay the petitioner Miss Kenya $10,000 in damages, for breach of her right to privacy.
