Evelyn Mic is refusing to back down amid reports that Sheilah Gashumba’s lawyers are preparing to take legal action over content allegedly published or aired by the NRG Radio personality.
Evelyn says she is not intimidated by the prospect of being summoned to court and insists her legal team is prepared to handle whatever proceedings may follow.
“I’ve heard the rumours about a possible summon. I’m not shaken,” Evelyn said.
The media personality also made her position on an apology clear, saying she has no intention of apologising or bowing to what she described as intimidation and bullying.
Her response comes after reports of an alleged Shs880 million pre-action demand that has raised the stakes between the two Ugandan media personalities.
According to the reports, lawyers representing Sheilah Gashumba issued a pre-action demand concerning content allegedly published or aired by Evelyn Mic.
The reported legal notice is said to demand several actions, including the immediate deletion of the alleged offending content, a public apology and retraction, and an on-air correction on NRG Radio.
The reported demands also include publication of the apology in a newspaper and a written undertaking that Evelyn will not repeat the allegations at the center of the dispute.
Evelyn has reportedly been given seven days to comply with the demands, with the lawyers threatening to commence court proceedings if she does not meet the stated requirements.
However, Evelyn’s latest response suggests she is preparing to contest the matter rather than comply with the reported demands.
“I’m an educated journalist, raised right, with a decent job and MY LEGAL TEAM IS READY,” she said.
She continued: “If the summon comes, we’ll receive it. I don’t bow to intimidation or bullying, and there will be NO APOLOGY. Thanks.”
Her statement does not indicate that court proceedings have already begun. Instead, she is responding to reports of a possible summons and the reported pre-action demand from Gashumba’s legal representatives.
That distinction is important because a legal demand or threat to commence proceedings is not the same as a court judgment or finding against either party.
For now, Evelyn says she is prepared to let her lawyers handle any formal legal action that may follow.
Evelyn Mic is a Ugandan media personality and journalist associated with NRG Radio, while Sheilah Gashumba is a prominent Ugandan media personality and public figure.
The latest dispute centers on content that Gashumba’s lawyers reportedly claim was published or aired by Evelyn.
The specific allegations at issue, and the legal basis for the reported Shs880 million demand, are not fully detailed in the information available here.
What is clear from the reported notice is that Gashumba’s legal representatives are seeking more than the removal of the alleged content.
The reported demands include a public apology and retraction, an on-air correction, newspaper publication of the apology and an undertaking not to repeat the allegations.
The seven-day deadline reportedly gives Evelyn an opportunity to respond before any potential court action.
Her public reaction indicates that she does not intend to simply comply with the demands without a legal challenge.
The reported Shs880 million demand has turned what might otherwise have remained a media dispute into a potentially significant legal confrontation.
For public figures, allegations made through radio, social media or other media platforms can carry consequences beyond online arguments, particularly when lawyers become involved.
The reported demands also show that the dispute is not limited to taking down content. They reportedly seek a retraction, an apology, an on-air correction and a commitment against repeating the allegations.
Evelyn’s refusal to apologise, as stated in her response, sets up a clear legal standoff if the matter proceeds further.
But until formal court proceedings are filed and determined, the reported allegations and demands should remain understood as claims and legal positions rather than established findings.
Evelyn’s response is notably firm. Rather than presenting herself as concerned about the possibility of court action, she says she is prepared to receive any summons and leave the matter to her lawyers.
Her statement also frames the dispute around her professional identity, emphasizing that she is an educated journalist with a job and legal representation.
Whether that confidence translates into a courtroom fight remains to be seen.
For now, Evelyn’s position is unmistakable: if legal papers arrive, she says her legal team will deal with them.
Evelyn Mic says she is ready for whatever legal action may follow and has ruled out an apology based on the reported demands.
The next move now rests with Sheilah Gashumba’s legal team—and whether the reported dispute ultimately reaches court.
