Michelle Ntalami sues Real Housewives of Nairobi reality show

The Chief Executive of Marini Naturals, Michelle Ntalami, has firmly opposed the contentious reality program “The Real Housewives of Nairobi.” She passionately blogged about her worries about the show’s exploitation, cyberbullying, and demeaning representation of women.

Ntalami has threatened legal action against the network that produces the show and the production business, citing a number of transgressions and unethical behavior.

“Here’s the thing about good people. They give you space and grace, until you take it too far. Now they’re more than happy to meet you halfway. So let’s go: Today I take a firm stand for myself and other women against the belittling and degrading of women in Kenya through a show that sadly profits off of this; “The Real Housewives of Nairobi.” It’s a shame to know that those in-charge of this show commercially exploit others, prioritize clicks and views over the concerns, mental health and well-being of individuals, and violate the country’s broadcasting laws,”

DampR Studios and MNET TV, the production firm and network in charge of the program, are the targets of Ntalami’s complaints. She asserts that D&R Studios violated her intellectual property rights by utilizing her image without her permission, failing to give her with an Actor’s Consent Form, and failed to address cyberbullying and defamatory accusations against her. Ntalami claims that despite her attempts to settle the conflict amicably, the studio disregarded her concerns.

Ntalami claims that MNET TV has violated its own code of conduct and broadcasting laws established by the Communications Authority of Kenya and the Kenyan Film Classification Board.

She also accuses the network of enabling cyberbullying, slander, and her commercial exploitation. She alleges the network violated her privacy rights and intellectual property rights. Ntalami is especially upset that despite receiving a cease and desist demand letter, MNET TV still used her photograph in the reunion episode of the show. They claim that she denied their invitation to the reunion, but she disputes this.

“Your bullying and insults is what has led us here. You could have been the Queen of anything to grow your personal brand on a global show, but instead you chose ‘Queen of Shade.’ Joke’s on you. You get high off bullying and putting other women down. But soon enough, you were bound to meet the wrong one,”

In a direct response to her detractors, Ntalami states that she will never agree to be a housewife on a program that, in her opinion, denigrates women, promotes bullying, harms people’s reputations, and endangers mental health and general well-being. She makes a point of highlighting her respectable reputation and sense of self-worth, and she makes it clear that she won’t take part in any project that violates her moral standards.

“I NEVER WANT TO BE CAST AS A HOUSEWIFE. I will never consent to be cast in a show that in my opinion, degrades women, advocates for bullying, damages their personal brand, social standing, mental health and overall well-being.”

Ntalami concludes by admonishing those in charge of the broadcast in no uncertain terms that she is ready to sue them. Her activities are an expression of a growing movement to uplift women, oppose damaging depictions, and promote moral standards in the entertainment sector.
