Social media influencer Maureen Waititu has come out guns blazing to defend herself after her ex-husband claimed he is no deadbeat and that she lives in his mother's house, rent-free.

This led to Maureen getting trolled badly by netizens and made to look like she has not moved on.

Maureen has finally addressed the entire saga. Seeking to clear her name.

"The last couple of weeks have been tough of me and I have been silent thinking it is unnecessary for people to hear the other side of the story. But now, because I have been pushed by the other party to do so, I will have to break my silence."

Maureen hinted that Frankie should have protected her and not thrown her under the bus leaving her at the mercy of angry online trolls.

"We are supposed to look out for each other and respect each other and that has not been happening and through that [I have received] a lot of trolls, attacks and insults on my side. I will address this once and never again.

"I have been living a separate life after parting ways with the father of my kids 13 months ago.

"Until recently he came to address the issue of being termed a deadbeat and the last couple of weeks have been tough on me. I have never spoken ill of him in the three interviews I have already done.

"Three weeks ago he made a video on the allegations of being called a deadbeat and he did not mention that it was not to me but to those terming him a deadbeat.

"This all started from the interview I did with Kiss100 where I said I am a single mum and that he tries to be a father to his children. But that statement was misunderstood. Because there are things that I felt he would have done more and that is where I am coming from."

Frankie claimed that he is not a deadbeat and he gives her a substantial amount of money to Maureen and she lives in his mother's house, rent-free.

Maureen clarified,

"I have never said anything bad about my ex in public but yes there has been some insinuation. Trolls called me ungrateful because I am living in a house that was given to me by his mum."

She added,

"Truth be told I had told him I found a nice apartment and he said I should not move out because this is a rent-free space and I could as well save the money.

"I have never come out to say this is my house. So when we decided I can stay because it was also best for the kids, I decided to renovate the whole house during the month of May and I did it all by myself."

She continued,

"The break up is a journey and of course, there is anger sometimes because it is not about cutting off. Seeing a thousand plus comments of people abusing me has been so hurtful yet I have done nothing. The worst part is my family being hurt over something they have no control."

"My mum even cried. People have different journeys of moving on in as much as he moved on faster but people have different journeys. To be honest it has not been easy for me watching all this and no it is not because I am still hang up on him but we have not settled and gotten comfortable with the breakup."

Maureen explained,

"It has been painful seeing he has another family. I found out about the baby on board at the same time you guys did. I mean things have been moving too fast for me. To make it worse people are screaming at me and pushing me to move on and my name is being dragged left right and centre."
