Following the continuous troll, she alleged that it reached a time when she took medicine and attempted to end her life and that of her daughter Zari.

“Nikajiuliza siku moja na sasa nikienda mbinguni, Mungu ataniuliza huyu binadamu mwenye si mimi, why are you worried, hebu ona shida zake.” She added.
Further, she alleged that what also made her change her mind was the previous challenges she had gone through when still in marriage.
According to her, celebrity life was so challenging. At a time when she could share a picture of her husband online, netizens increased the pressure on trolls to the extent that she fought with her husband.
“They will DM like you are posting your husband tulikuwa naye jana. Mimi ile kupigana nimepigana thank God zile siku social media wasn’t that strong. I was fighting until it got to a point I was like why? What is the reason?” She said.
