Valentine Mark Kings, CEO of Kings Empire and the organizer of the renowned House of Stars Reality TV Show, has issued a heartfelt plea for the release of former contestant Hawa Hunt.
Hunt, a participant in the popular reality show, was arrested during a live broadcast on December 22, 2024, and has remained in custody since. She made her first court appearance on Tuesday, December 31, 2024, where she was remanded into further detention.
In a public statement, Mr. Kings expressed his deep concern over the situation and called on the authorities to show leniency. He urged them to “forgive Hawa Hunt,” describing her as “a strong woman who came from abroad to support Sierra Leoneans’ dream to promote the country’s entertainment and uplift the less privileged.”
The incident has sparked discussions within the entertainment industry and beyond, with many calling for justice and understanding in the matter. Mr. Kings emphasized the importance of unity and support in fostering growth within Sierra Leone’s creative and cultural sectors.
The House of Stars platform has gained recognition for its role in showcasing talent and contributing to the development of the country’s entertainment industry. However, the current situation highlights the challenges faced by those striving to make a difference.
As the case unfolds, many are hopeful for a resolution that underscores compassion and a commitment to uplifting the community.
