Betrayal
In a past interview, she revealed that she has been betrayed by people she called friends, some of whom she had housed. While talking about the story, on Dr. King’ori’s Wicked Edition, she had a panic attack and had to leave the interview midway.
Recently, two of her former friends, Chrisbel Kirai and Peter Louche, revealed damaging details about her. They said while they stayed with her she would come home drunk and wet the bed at times. Despite their efforts to help her, she didn’t appreciate them.
Following their claims, she shared that she was not embarrassed and so many people had inboxed her saying they have the same problem. She further added that they were not her roommates but lived with her in the same house (her house). She asked them to leave and before she knew it Ronoh was in a video being discussed by the so-called friends.
“Save yourself from manipulative people,” she posted.
Dating Short Men
Ronoh has no time for short men and made this clear in a video she shared on her YouTube channel. She said short men are a hard “brand to love” and should stop wasting their time trying to date her.
Her post read:
“Height for me is such a big deal. And I say this because short men are such a hard brand to love. You are below sea level, you are below me. I can’t do this. It’s no disrespect whatsoever but if you are short, please don’t flirt with me,” said stated.
She went on to say:
Bro, I am like 5’8″, 5’9″ I think. And if you know you are 4 ft nothing and you are approaching me for a conversation, you are setting yourself up for pain. You are setting yourself up for sadness. That’s another don’t do… So, if you are short, don’t approach me. That’s all It’s saying.”
