REFORMED ex convict and born again Christian Iris Kaingu says she has had enough of the social media bullies who try to drag her name in every indecent scandal that circulates on social media.

This comes after a named tabloid published a story this morning, suggesting that Iris had offered to speak to model Mwaka Halwiindi following the circulation of the latter’s viral porno videos.
Iris stated that the claims are not only false but completely unfair.
She said it was unfair that her name kept being dragged into stories that have nothing to do with her.
More than a decade after serving time for a mistake she owned up to, Iris stated that she was still being forced to carry the weight of something she already paid for.
In 2011, a private video of her intimate life was leaked and widely circulated, leading to her arrest and a fine.
This incident has been a recurring topic in discussions about her public life, and she has publicly appealed for people to move on from it.
She explained that she took full accountability for her actions back then, served her sentence, and has since focused on rebuilding her life with dignity and purpose.
Iris said she will no longer tolerate being used as bait for likes or dragged into conversations that have nothing to do with her.
Going forward, she stated that any of such attempts to drag her into similar scandals will be treated as harassment, warning that she was ready to take steps to protect her peace, privacy and reputation.
She reminded the public that while the internet never forgets, people do grow and change and that being kind costs nothing.
“I usually stay silent and choose not to respond to this tired narrative. But this time, it has gone too far: I need to speak up for myself,” said Iris.
