I remember that photo must have been taken more than 15 years ago when my friend used to have a boutique at Jamia Mosque. and Diana had come in to buy clothes. I think she was a superstar.

I have never been dumped in my life - Tanasha Donna brags

In an Instagram live session that Tanasha Donna held last evening the musician revealed that never in her life has she ever been dumped, she's always the one to walk away from relationships when they no longer suit her.

"Honestly speaking, I'm not trying to brag but I have never been dumped in my life, never. It is just the truth I have never been dumped," casually said the mother of one.

She went on to add," I'm the one who always leaves. Maybe because I feel certain needs are not being met or I feel like we're not aligning on the same page or something along those lines."

The news comes as a surprise as just 3 months ago Tanasha took to her Instagram stories to rant over how she'd been played by a guy she was seeing.

She narrated how she found out through social media that the guy was actually taking her for a joy ride as he was not single as he had earlier claimed to be.

Anerlisa advised Diana that if she wanted to help people by sharing the story, she should have used " a friend " as a reference and the message would be heard.

Admitting to being a great fan of Diana, Anerlisa added that such information could make people judge her.

"Nothing against Diana, I am one of the people who admire her as a mum but why the need to come out right now? Sad truth is that people will go straight to the body count... 

My point of view is that I think after being a mother and having a man who has accepted all your flaws, this kind of information should be kept private. 

Your past sometimes can get people viewing you differently even if it's to help people and if you really want to tell the story using " a friend " as a reference, the message will be heard."

Diana Marua has since owned up to the video, stating that it’s still up on her channel and she has nothing to be ashamed of.

Diana Marua said she was surprised to see herself trending because of a video she did years back.

“Today we have started sleep training Koko. I remember with Taiyari it took us three days to successfully train him. Let's see how it goes,” Corazon wrote.

The post prompted a female fan to react, accusing the socialite of being dumped with every man she has dated.

"Who are you talking to and who is 'we'? You were dumped. Every man you fall in love with ends up dumping you,” the fans wrote.

In a quick rejoinder, Corazon wrote;

"Woiye, Ugua pole" before adding "I feel sorry for people like these,".

“How can something like sleep training a baby trigger a human being? Please send prayers to this lady, she's not okay,".

This is not the first time Corazon Kwamboka is clapping back at her critics. Celebrities go through a lot as Netizens tend to dictate how they should live their lives.

"Thankfully there is something I can do. I told them (the hospital), I wanted to lose weight but not this much coz I still want to be a curvy girl," she narrated.

Kate added that she wanted to lose 20kg but she had no idea that losing even 5kg was such a huge difference in how she would look.

"I realised that my body would shrink and I might not look like the same person. I would not look nice. I talked to them and they told me after a month they would incorporate movement and change my diet so I don't end up losing so much and look saggy," she said.
