Ben Pol’s bae and Nero Water Company CEO Anerlisa Muigai has disclosed that she declined to be featured in Up Close with Betty.
This came to the fore after a follower commented on her page that she wants to see her on the show that airs on K24.
“You look amazing. I want to see you on ‘up close’ weekend with Betty,” posed Nancy_C.S. To which Muigai responded, “I declined as I prefer my life more private now.”
Joining Nancy was another follower, Foxy_whitesnow, who urged the Keroche heiress to reconsider.
“Anerlisa please accept, Betty Kyallo is good am pretty sure she won’t ask anything personal other than business related issues, how your day starts, and maybe how it was growing up…what keeps you going etc,” posted Foxy.
Most media houses picked up on this and came up with theories as to why she turned down Betty; some claiming that she was getting back at her for not wishing her a happy birthday when she turned 31.
She didn’t take this lying down as she posted a reply over her Instagram account:
I am all about women empowerment and it’s really saddening when I see certain stories go round. I made a light comment about why I did not want to show my life on tv and that’s because I prefer my life private now but you media people just want to create conflict between BK and me.
She goes on to
What does my birthday have to do with my show appearance? Yes, I did say about not been wished happy birthday but really…is that even news? I mean I also don’t remember their birthdays until they post about it… please keep me out of your dramas/created stories and shout out to @bettymuteikyallo for your amazing show, I wish you nothing but the best and to every woman out there trying to make ends meet, I pray daily that we all make it to the top
