How many times have we heard about celebrities allegedly trying to run down a small business?
Well, when Jackie Matubia allegedly credited the work of a business person wrongly on her Instagram page, she didn’t anticipate the fury that online users would throw her way.
According to an anonymous source who spoke to Edgar Obare, Jackie asked for interior design help - specifically upgrading her backyard.
After the services were offered at a total cost of Ksh 102,000, she was to pay half and give them a mention.
However, she credited a different company which is where the problems arose. The business owner reportedly tried to solve the issue amicably but things didn’t work out. He called her out on social media and asked her to pull down the post,
In response, Jackie threatened legal action much to the anger of online users.
After their engagement and the birth of their child, rumours made around that Blessing Lung’aho and Jackie Matubia allegedly broke up.
These unverified reports came about after the actress was spotted without her engagement ring and attended an event unaccompanied.
Additionally, Blessing was said not to be sleeping at home, information that was given by an unidentified neighbour.
Neither Jackie nor Blessing confirmed or denied the reports.
