Kenyan media personality and entrepreneur Betty Kyallo has taken to social media to address critics of her relationship with Charlie Jones, a younger partner. In her statement, Kyallo expressed her happiness and contentment, challenging the backlash with a rhetorical question:
“Why are you all so angry? Mimi Napambana, I’m happy.” She emphasized her commitment to the relationship, encouraging others to stay focused on their own connections and avoid unnecessary distractions.
Kyallo urged her critics to concentrate on their own happiness rather than scrutinizing her choices. She voiced frustration with those overly invested in the personal lives of others, calling for a shift in focus toward self-improvement and individual contentment. Her message was clear: “Chase your happiness. Stop judging others. Chase your heartthrob. Wasting too much time, looking and scrutinizing other people. We do not care; be happy and chase what you like. Do not listen to many. They are lonely, angry, opinionated, and thoroughly dry.”
The relationship has sparked a variety of reactions from fans, many of whom have come to Kyallo’s defense. Instagram user Vincent noted that everyone should focus on their own lives. Similarly, Bakary J. Kennie commented that critics often stem from bitterness or low self-esteem, adding that as long as Kyallo is happy, that should be the priority. Another fan, Vancekims, echoed this sentiment, encouraging people to invest energy in improving their own lives rather than criticizing others, noting, “No one is perfect.”
While many supporters have rallied behind Kyallo, some critics have raised concerns about the age difference, advocating for relationships where age compatibility is a priority. Despite this, Kyallo remains steadfast in her stance, prioritizing happiness and individuality over societal opinions.
