Media personality and former TV girl Jacque Maribe has finally opened up on the events following the highly publicized murder of businesswoman Monica Kimani.
In an interview with True Love magazine, Maribe has revealed that most of her friends and the famous ‘Girls’ Squad’ abandoned her.

“People I thought I was very close to. I even heard that some did public statements, disassociating themselves from me. People we were seen on holiday with. Being told we’re squad goals and things like that. I will be very honest with you, I have like two female friends to date who stood by me from the beginning,” she told the publication.
Further, she stated that a section of her friends and colleagues from the media falsified statements and made the situation worse than it already was.
“I got to a place and I was zombified. Everyone is talking in your ear and there is so much commotion and all you hear is noise. From covering the news, I was now the news. These were my colleagues writing about me and some of the stories, were not true,” she added.
