Heavy toll mindblowing Instagram confessions have taken on Kemunto Diana

 

Kemunto Diana's name has spread like wildfire the past few weeks over the crazy revelations that are being posted on her Instagram pages.

One revelation in particular in the past week has set tongues wagging after a certain lady confessed to her that she had knowingly spread HIV to multiple Kenyan men.

The admissions have become a source of fodder for Kenyans with even Maina Kageni speaking about it yesterday during his Classic105.

But some are doubting the validity of the mind-blowing confessions posted on her page, which Diana finally addressed during an interview with Kenya Online Media.

The influencer who started giving women advice back in 2022, vehemently refuted any involvement in fabricating the confessions, insisting they stem from genuine anonymous sources, some utilising pseudonymous accounts for privacy.

With over a thousand unshared confessions inundating her inbox, Kemunto discloses her hesitation in revealing some due to their sensitive nature.

“I have a brain. If I were to do those stories on my own then I would have started the first time I trended for city girls. The stories are not fake, the confessions are very real.

I can’t hire 10,000 people to write stories or open 10,000 accounts to fake stories. I have about 1039 zenye sijapost (that I have not posted yet.) And I am scared of what might happen if I do. You have seen the impact that the whole issue has had so far,” she asserts, dismissing claims of orchestration.

The decision to amplify these confessions stemmed from a personal experience—an encounter with a friend battling a virus.

“I have a friend who lives positively. Her story pushed me to give people this platform to confess the things they are going through. The confessions have been there for like six months. She told me to go tell other people what was happening,” she said.

Despite her altruistic intentions, Kemunto admits to the toll these confessions take on her mental well-being.

“I have not even posted the worst confessions yet. Sometimes it’s very heavy on my side. It’s weighing me down because sometimes I want to focus on other things but when I see someone’s story I feel motivated to help this person. Mentally I am not okay. I’m not even focusing on important things in my life.”

She added, “When I get these confessions on my timeline, I repost them for awareness. For the ones who use pseudo-accounts and inbox me with real accounts, I always take my time to advise them.”
