Kenyan actress Star Chebet, has made a comeback to social media as ”Esther Chebet” after over a year of silence.

”Hi beautiful people, my name is Esther Chebet, welcome to my new accounts, Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok; Esther Chebet. Thank you.” She said in a video she shared on Instagram.

The actress had been away from the public eye since June 2024, when she last shared a deeply personal post detailing her battles with grief, drug addiction, and mental health struggles.

Chebet’s disappearance from the limelight had left many of her fans concerned, especially after she opened up about the emotional toll of losing her mother in 2022.

In her previous statement, she disclosed that her substance abuse began in 2018 and worsened after her mother’s death.

Things escalated in 2023 when she endured a severe migraine that lasted four days, eventually leading to insomnia and frightening hallucinations.

The voices she heard pushed her to seek refuge with her aunt, but the experiences persisted, forcing her to move from place to place, including Nakuru, Mtwapa, Malindi, Mombasa, and Kericho, in search of peace.

Her journey eventually took a spiritual turn. She came to believe that her experiences were connected to deeper spiritual forces and later admitted that in her pursuit of healing, she may have unknowingly engaged with the wrong spiritual practices.

Chebet expressed remorse for her past actions, asking for forgiveness from anyone she may have hurt.
Now, months later, her quiet return to social media under a new name signals what appears to be a fresh start.

Fans have flooded her page with warm messages of encouragement, expressing hope that her comeback marks a season of healing and renewal.
