Former KBC presenter Elizabeth Irungu has come out guns blazing with her sights on socialite Huddah Monroe.
In a series of social media posts on Friday, January 3, Irungu claimed that Huddah was hinging her relevance stale virginity narratives and using sexual violence for clout.
“It is a shame what society has become that one needs to even tell grown people that it is NOT okay to use sexual violence (real or imagined) to get attention!!! Crazy world indeed!
"Forget cocaine, clout is the new drug on these streets and thirst traps and thots are the dealers! Quote me on that, I take no prisoners!” Stated Irungu.

Responding to Huddah’s assertion in a recent interview that the man who took her virginity forced himself on her, Irungu claimed that the socialite’s story had glaring inconsistencies.
“Someone casually talking of an issue such as being drugged and raped while a virgin before brushing it off to usual mindless self-glorification stories and oversexualized content.
"I mean who even does that? (By the way, fact check the same person who not so long ago claimed that her said virginity was taken by a local rap star! Contradictory stories only that one involves sexual violence to make it "juicier" so sick! I've never addressed this person but someone had to check her this time),” added Irungu.
Traumatised by a past encounter with a rapist herself, Irungu went ahead to call on the entrepreneur to desist from casually roping the subject and stressed that sexual violence has no place in self-gratification.
“To be a pathological liar is one thing as proved in numerous past lies the same repulsive individual has publicly made for attention but this right here is just full-blown mental illness and it triggered me especially because I actually know people who are still traumatised from actual rape that happened to them!”
“I was once nearly raped and to date, that experience is permanently cemented firmly in my mind and so to watch an obvious clout chaser make light of the issue, yeah that just made me angry!!! Hashtag "sexual violence is not a clout chasing tool" hashtag "do not normalise rape," she noted.
In December 2019, Huddah, during a question and answer session with her followers affirmed that she was raped.
"I broke my virginity when I was 19. This mother f****r got me drunk and then he smashed me. I guess that’s rape and I need to press charges against him."
A position acknowledged by several of her followers as a societal vice that needs to be urgently acted on.
“I hate that almost all my friends have a similar story, especially when it comes to how they lost their virginity. I hate that we all know someone who’s been in a situation like this. I hate it,” tweeted Miss Nerima.
