Boury Bathily thanks supporters after Balla Gaye 2 allegations

Boury Bathily has responded to the strong public reaction after accusing her husband, wrestler Balla Gaye 2, of physical and verbal violence. Her latest intervention came in a new video in which she expressed gratitude to the Senegalese people who supported her after she spoke publicly about the allegations.

Bathily appeared in tears during an earlier social-media livestream, saying she had left the marital home and wanted a divorce. She also said she feared for her safety and urged people affected by domestic violence to speak out rather than remain silent.

In the new video, Bathily said the scale of the support had surprised her. She described herself as deeply moved by the response and thanked those who had stood by her after her testimony. Her comments reflected the emotional impact of the public mobilisation around her case.

The allegations against Balla Gaye 2 have not yet been accompanied by his version of events. The dispute therefore remains centred on Bathily’s account and the reaction it has generated, with no response from the wrestler included in the available material.
