Joey Muthengi: I became depressed, suicidal after my first love, a white man, married

Former Citizen TV news presenter Joey Muthengi has disclosed that she became suicidal after a white man she was head-over-heels in love with married another woman.

In an interview with The Unwritten’s Yvonne Aoll, 33-year-old Muthengi confessed that she was in love with a white man while younger but felt like she needed to focus on her career first, a thing that later came to haunt her.

“The love of my life was a white man. I knew him since high school. We were perfect but the logistics around our lives just weren’t matching. We were always traveling on different time zones, different locations and I was so keen on climbing the career ladder,” said Joey.

Depressed

Joey later found out that the love of her life had moved on and was married a thing that pushed her to depression. Since then, she has remained single most of the time and is not interested in marriage.

“And when I finally got to Citizen TV, when I was finally feeling like ‘I’ve sort of ‘made it’, I started looking for him again and then I found out he got married… through Facebook of all the places,” said Joey.

Adding:

“I was quite depressed for a long time. Even my family couldn’t understand and kept asking ‘what is it about this guy?” Joey added.
