In the ever-churning world of internet virality, few stories hit as hard and fast as that of Roselande Belony, a name that, until recently, was synonymous with grace, gospel music, and media professionalism in Haiti.
Today, however, it echoes in global headlines for reasons far removed from her reputation as a worship leader or broadcaster.
From Ghana to Tanzania, Uganda to Nigeria, Roselande has sparked a digital firestorm. Her leaked videos have made her the subject of both harsh judgment and surprising support.
But behind the scandal and speculation is a real woman, facing one of the toughest chapters of her life.
Contrary to widespread social media claims, Roselande Belony is not a pastor’s daughter, nor is she from Kenya or Tanzania. She is a Haitian media personality, singer, and former radio host, best known for her work at Radio Télé Pacific, where she hosted educational programs and actively served as a worship leader in her local church.
Her identity, like the controversy surrounding her, has been heavily misunderstood.
Setting the Record Straight: Her Father Speaks
Amid the global speculation, Serge Belony, Roselande’s father, stepped forward to clear the air. In an emotional interview on Storm TV’s Blocus, he denied all viral claims painting him as a pastor or religious leader.
“I am a driver and mechanic,” he clarified. “I haven’t been to church in over ten years.”
He also addressed the widespread rumor that Roselande had a strict Christian upbringing and was engaged to a man she refused to be intimate with before dumping him. According to him, these are fabrications.
“The man in the video was actually her long-time boyfriend. Everyone knew about the relationship, including our family and the church,” he said.
How Did the Videos Leak?
The story of the video’s release is as distressing as its impact. According to her father, Roselande was robbed at gunpoint while returning from a visit. The attacker, posing as a motorbike taxi rider, took her phone, disabled its security features, and then released the private videos to the public.
“It wasn’t her ex-boyfriend. It was a criminal act,” Serge Belony explained. “He even tried to demand a ransom by pretending she had been kidnapped.”
Consequences and Global Reactions
The aftermath of the video leak has been swift and brutal. Roselande was forced to resign from her role at the radio station. Her once-promising career in broadcasting came to a halt as online outrage and moral judgment poured in.
On social media, users debated everything from personal privacy and church standards to the complexities of modern relationships. The situation even reignited conversations about how women are often treated in the wake of scandal—especially those in religious or public-facing roles.
Resilience Amid the Storm
Despite being devastated by the incident, Roselande Belony has shown immense strength in trying to rebuild her life. She’s returned to social media with grace and reflection, offering messages of hope and gratitude to those who have stood by her.
Her followers have rallied around her, praising her courage and offering words of encouragement. While the internet may never forget, it seems Roselande is determined not to be defined by one tragic episode.
“She is shattered, yes. But she’s choosing to live again,” one close friend shared on her behalf.
