Speaking out, Karanja dismissed the allegations, describing Cate Actress as a strong-willed woman who refused to submit to any man — a trait that, he said, made him feel powerless as a husband. He reflected on their time together, calling it a turbulent and emotionally draining chapter in his life.
According to Karanja, ending the marriage was the best decision for his mental health, as staying would have pushed him deeper into depression. He also alleged that Cate Actress sometimes displayed strange behavior, which he interpreted as signs of negative spiritual influence.
In a bold statement, Karanja said, “Huyo ni mwanamke sumbua haskizi mwanaume hata kidogo. Sahi anasema mimi ni toothpick. Hata kama ni ndogo ilikunyambisha mtoto mama,” meaning, “She is a troublesome woman who never listens to a man. Now she calls me a toothpick — yet even that ‘toothpick’ gave her a child.”
