- Content creator, Marya Prude Irungu, has disclosed that she lost out on a
mental health awareness campaign role after her cheeky social media posts about
ex-husband, Willis Raburu’s breakup with Ivy Namu.
Taking to Instagram, Marya, whose marriage and divorce from Raburu
were widely publicized, said a close friend informed her that an NGO had
initially considered her for an ambassadorial position.
However, the organisation later withdrew its interest,
claiming her comments did not align with the values of a mental health
campaign.
According to Marya, the NGO viewed her remarks as bullying,
particularly after she cheekily celebrated the collapse of Raburu’s
relationship with Ivy.
Her salon post, captioned “Kindly respect my privacy as I switch up my
hair” with laughing emojis, quickly went viral with many
interpreting it as a subtle jab at Raburu and Ivy’s plea for privacy following
their split.
However, she insisted she had no regrets.
Addressing the matter, she argued that social media is a
space for free expression and that online culture should not automatically
disqualify creators from professional opportunities.
Unbothered by the decision, Marya doubled down on her belief
that her posts were part of authentic digital culture and maintained that she
did not feel compelled to apologise.
