All was well until the footage found it's way to none other than Mpasho!

Then came in the unforgiving, merciless and savage KOT army! Walala! Si these guys can be brutal! Lillian was made a trending topic the whole of Tuesday, and still trending this glorious Wednesday!!!

Louis Otieno

We all remember this chap from his hey days mainly at KTN! The once influential TV anchor faded away from the prestige that came with his career in media, when his "girlfriend" Careen Chepchumba, a university student, was found dead. The case still puzzles many because Careen's murder, back in February 2012 is as mysterious as those unsolved TV crime documentaries. The case is still in court.

Jeff Koinange

Ooh my, Wamai!!! Jeff Koinange is a popular TV personality brand, not just in Kenya but in many other countries abroad. Since October 2013, he hosts the Jeff Koinange Live talk show on KTN. Before moving to the Mombasa Road-based media giant, he served as the Africa correspondent for CNN and CNN International from 2001 to 2007, and later as chief reporter at TV station K24 from 2007 to December 2012.

Before joining KTN, he served as the Chief Anchor, Africa for Arise Television Ltd based in Johannesburg, South Africa. However, the apex of his disgrace would arrive in May 29, 2007, when CNN announced that Jeff was no longer employed by the network. Reason?? He had apparently been caught up in a sex scandal that CNN did not want to become associated with!!! This has, however, not been authenticated yet.

Betty Kyalo

This is the mother of salacious skendoz!! Six months after her elaborate multi-million-shilling wedding with NTV's investigative journalist Dennis Okari, KTN's news anchor Betty Kyalo broke up with him!! This piece of news continues to make gossip headlines, from the moment news about their break up emerged in early March this year. There has been accusations of infidelity involving the sexy TV siren, and even a name of a senior coast politician been thrown into the middle of this ripe scandal.

Eric Njoka

Is he gay or not? That continues to be the question in many people's lips and minds, but for this prime time news anchor at Mediamax's K24 television, he has ever kept mum about it since he was put on the spot by an explosive exclusive story by Janet Chao, sensationally alleging that he was a homosexual. Eric played cool throughout the sizzling hot scandal. It was faiyaaa!

Swaleh Mdoe

Sometime in August last year, social media was awash with rumors that the popular Citizen TV Swahili news anchor had been fired from his lucrative post at the Royal Media Services. The rumours alleged that Swaleh Mdoe and a number of his then colleagues had been suspended of their duties after it was discovered that they had allegedly received money from an influential Nairobi politician to kill a story. This almost brought disgrace to the iconic news anchor.

Mwanaisha Chidzuga

The hot swahili news anchor at K24 has always been taken to task for "stealing" a husband in former assistant minister and Garsen constituency MP Danson Mungatana. That apart though, because they are now a husband and wife, , the fiasco was all about her and the alleged Mungatana's girlfriend/third wife Cecilia Mwangi (former Miss World Kenya beauty queen). Not long ago, Mwanaisha brushed Cecilia off like a fly on a piece of meat in Burma market!!! It was the bloodiest subtweet I have ever seen.

Tony Mochama

Two years ago, Standard Group’s writer and celebrated poet Tony Mochama, popularly known as Smitta, was accused of sexually harassing poet Shailja Patel while at a party in Nairobi. It was alleged that Mochama got so drunk and started touching the woman inappropriately.

The woman went ahead and even sued the writer. Apparently, the case was dropped, and things seemed to have favoured Smitta. However, it almost dragged his reputation as a journalist and poet through very dirty mud!!! Tony Mochama's case suing over defamation due to the above case is still in court.
