A few years back, Young UNICEF Ambassador and gymnast Wendy Waeni found herself in trouble when her social media accounts portrayed some negative highlight about her.
But even this young lady should be busy with her books, meeting senior people would not sharpen her brain but books. Hiyo sasa ni ukimbelembele yake it’s too early for her. Leaders should encourage her to concentrate on books first. Kidogo kidogo mara ooh!

The 13-year-old girl was hosted on JKL on Wednesday evening and her revelation about her manager was shocking. This took us back to sometime back in February when some people had a heated debate on whether she ran the account, and the caption proved otherwise.
Si yeye ni biashara ya huyu jamaa anamanage hii account. The little girl is being abused…

You see, managers only make money when their clients make money, which means they’re looking for potential artists who are committed to pursuing a career in acting and have put in the time, energy, and money to make that happen.
The little girl Wendy was being conned, not just the money but her online persona wasn’t that of a little girl. The fucker Joe Mwangi was running her account unintelligently, sometimes making adult tweets on an account that belonged to a kid. We exposed him. @Asamoh_

According to the young gymnast, Wendy Waeni says her former manager Joe Mwangi exploited and fleeced her of her earnings, and further locked her out of her social media accounts her manager portrayed a negative image about her while she hoped to be the best version of her self.

Kenyans were not happy. Here were some reactions.
This Joe Mwangi guy has not only destroyed Waeni’s life…But potrayed a different Waeni to the world😢😢😒
People calling her brat and rude
People thinking she’s a “cool kid”
And all along it was a full grown man behind the account
Shame on him
