Kemunto Diana discusses the veracity of her widely shared, scandalous revelations.

Social media influencer Kemunto Diana finds herself embroiled in controversy surrounding her viral Instagram confessions.

Initially known for advising young urban women on navigating city life and hustling tactics, Kemunto’s recent disclosures propelled her into the limelight.

However, with increased attention comes heightened scrutiny regarding the authenticity of her revelations.

In a candid interview with Kenyan online media, Kemunto addresses allegations of exploitation head-on.

She vehemently denies any involvement in fabricating the confessions, asserting they originate from genuine anonymous sources, some utilizing pseudonymous accounts for privacy.

Despite receiving over a thousand unshared confessions flooding her inbox, Kemunto hesitates to divulge some due to their sensitive nature.

“I have a brain. If I were to do those stories on my own, 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 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.

Inspired by her friend’s resilience, Kemunto felt compelled to provide a platform for others to share their struggles openly.

“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 acknowledges 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.”
