Media personality Lilian Muli has explained how her marital issues were leaked to the media.
She got married to Moses Kanene in a flashy wedding ceremony in September 2009.
Lilian allegedly filed for divorce in January 2016, citing infidelity.
Speaking in a YouTube interview with Citizen Digital, the mother of two said she got married young, and being in public, her marriage became a public affair.
"The proposal was in the newsroom and it became everyone's business, and then a couple of years down the line, we did not get along with the guy, and we have to go our separate ways," she said.
Lilian said she decided to change accounts she shared with her ex-husband at a local TV service provider.
Unfortunately, the next morning, she found herself trending with the news that she had filed for divorce.
"I went there to change my account, and so the chick I am talking to figures out that there is an issue here, and this means that this chick has moved out or something. And then, the next day, it's all over the dailies," she said.
Lilian said she was trolled and bashed online for things she did not relate to.
"I never said what was written, I literally went to get a different account for my things and now someone has gone and snitched and my business is out there," she says.
Lilian said the issue was so sensitive that she regretted being in the limelight.
"That is one of them and it was a very low time for me.
"You are dealing with a separation and people are guessing reasons you are going different ways," she said.
On how she overcame the trauma, Lilian said she dedicated most of her time to TV.
"I was broken but TV helps. No matter what you are going through, once you put on your makeup and the clock strikes the hour, you have to chin up and do your thing because your problems should not reflect," she said.
At some point, Lilian sort therapy that helped her heal and move on.
"I was able to throw myself into work but later I was affected and I had to do some therapy to have closure with that part of my life," she says.
She added she has also stopped defending herself against fake things that are written about her.
"Surprisingly when you go by and you stop paying attention to trolls and haters, they also somehow take a backseat and leave you alone, but as long as you engage them, they keep coming."
