I want to apologize to Kenyans for my behavior at the Mombasa International Airport,”
I know I might have gone about it the wrong way. I was just standing up for my rights, but I was mad and heated at the time, and I should have been more classy in how I carried myself.”
said Miss Trudy, also known as Gertrude Njeri, in a YouTube video addressing the incident.
Miss Trudy had faced off with airport authorities who had stopped her from filming her content within the premises.
A video of the incident went viral, and it was discovered that she had broken several laws, rules, and regulations by filming at the airport, where photography and filming are prohibited.
While admitting her mistake, Miss Trudy also expressed her frustration with the situation, saying,
We’ve been doing this for years now, and it’s very frustrating when, as a content creator,
all you’re trying to do is promote your country, and you just get frustrated by people in authority.”

She also apologized for any disrespect or rudeness she may have exhibited,
I didn’t mean to be disrespectful to anyone. I didn’t mean to be rude to anyone, but I just felt like I was standing up for myself, you know?”
Miss Trudy acknowledged that she loves her country and never intends to put out a negative image of it, but also recognized that there are things that can be improved, adding that she won’t lose herself again.
