Sarah Mtalii has publicly apologized for her previous advice, urging women to remain in marriages where infidelity occurs. In a heartfelt video shared on social media, she admitted to misleading women with her past statements and reflected on her own experiences in an unhealthy marriage.
“I want to apologize for telling women to stay in marriages where there is infidelity. Wamama, tafadhali nawaomba mnisamehe,” she said. “If things aren’t working, it’s better to leave while you still can. Ukiangalia kesi kama hii yangu, if someone can pay keyboard warriors to attack me online, who tells you they cannot pay hitmen to attack you huko nje? From today henceforth, if it’s not working, it’s not working—just leave.”
Sarah’s remarks mark a stark departure from her earlier stance, where she defended staying in marriages despite infidelity.
Past Controversy
Last month, the businesswoman stirred debate by asserting that most married men who cheat genuinely love their wives and are unlikely to leave them for their mistresses. According to Sarah, men often cheat out of curiosity or to explore differences between women, while others do so to satisfy specific fetishes.
In her earlier advice, Sarah encouraged women to avoid letting infidelity be the sole reason to end a marriage. She emphasized that cheating does not always signify a man’s desire to leave his wife.
A Change in Perspective
Sarah’s apology signals a significant shift in her perspective on relationships and marriage. By acknowledging the potential dangers and emotional toll of staying in toxic unions, she hopes to inspire women to prioritize their well-being over societal pressures to endure unhealthy marriages.
Her new message is clear: If a relationship is no longer serving its purpose or becomes harmful, it’s okay to walk away.
