Popular TikTok star Lydiah Wanjiru has sparked intense online debate after seemingly rekindling her romance with fellow content creator Frank Doso, months after a cheating scandal tore them apart.
Frank recently issued a heartfelt public apology for cheating, expressing deep regret and asking for a second chance. He owned up to his mistakes and sought forgiveness from Lydiah. Initially, Lydiah responded cryptically, hinting that any man seeking forgiveness should come prepared with grand gestures such as buying a car or even land before expecting reconciliation. Despite this, she acknowledged and appreciated Frank’s public accountability.
Recent events suggest that the two may have buried the hatchet. The couple was spotted together in a car, laughing and smiling, with Frank behind the wheel and Lydiah playfully claiming they were sightseeing in “Bali,” a humorous jab that fueled speculation about their reunion. This apparent reconciliation has ignited heated discussions on social media, drawing reactions from fans and fellow influencers alike.
One prominent critic, social media personality Nurse Judy, did not hold back in calling out Lydiah for what she perceived as hypocrisy. Judy accused Lydiah of misleading her followers with her strong stance against cheating men while herself returning to a man who had betrayed her trust. “The same influencers who mislead you on leaving your men are the same ones who will go back to their men. Now where is her worth? This is the same person who criticised my relationship and now she’s back with a man who stole small small money from a woman? She gives the worst relationship advice online but doesn’t follow it herself. Stop following influencers, do what works for you and your partner,” Judy said.
Lydiah, known for her boldness and willingness to engage in controversy, responded fiercely to the criticism. She stated, “I’m very controversial and engage in thought-provoking discussions. If you can’t handle reality, you’ll be hurt. I have no family except my sister and her kids, so I have no shame. My friends are used to me like this. You can either stay or sip your tea while scrolling.” Her unapologetic tone further polarized opinions among netizens.
Fans are divided over the couple’s reunion. Some believe that people’s actions in private life often differ from their public personas, with comments such as “Standards ni online tu, kwa ground mambo ni different” (Standards are online only; on the ground, things are different). Others defended Lydiah, suggesting that no one is misleading anyone and that people must make their own decisions regarding their relationships.
In other developments, Lydiah took a swipe at content creator Director Trevor for frequently discussing his past relationship with Mungai Eve in interviews. She also criticized his current partner, Yvonne Kiki, after Trevor revealed that Yvonne left her high-paying job to support his dreams. Lydiah questioned why Yvonne could not support him while still employed and suggested that Yvonne should be the one feeling regretful after making such a sacrifice.
Overall, Lydiah Wanjiru’s actions continue to stir conversations about love, forgiveness, and the complexities of personal relationships in the digital age. Her unapologetic stance and candid responses highlight the often messy realities behind the polished images influencers present online, reminding followers that real-life relationships rarely fit into neat narratives.
