There is something wrong when a lady of 29 quit her day job to be an acolyte in a cheap cult. There is something totally wrong when an advocate is advised to call off her wedding to another man by another man going by the title of a spiritual mentor. There is something terribly amiss when a woman with a good salary opt out of her residence to live in a church mansion.
There is something out of place with the Esther Arunga that we all knew. Remember the plump girl with an innocent smile on TV? The quintessential African beauty, simple,stunning and confident?That was our Esther Arunga. The Esther Arunga in a press conference yesterday is a com[plete stranger. The touchy, pouting, shouting, looking lost Esther Arunga is a different gal from the one we all knew and loved.
I loved this gal on TV. Every man in town loved Esther Arunga. I didn't know why we all loved her. Was is it the air of friendliness she carried around? maybe. Was it the aura of quiet intellect she radiated on the TV screen? probably. No one i met knew knew exactly why Esther Arunga was the queen of TV. But she was.
Monita Rajpal of CNN completed my TV idols alongside Esther Arunga. i am both their fans on Facebook. The only people i am a fan of for that matter.
Where did the rain started beating our Esther Arunga?
she lost my admiration awhile ago when rumors of funny relationships started the rounds. maybe i was jealous. she lost it again when she lost the plumpness. her eyes lost the radiance. she became a tad thinner. my African queen changed. i complained. others complained. something went amiss. just like i didn't know what was good with her before, i just could not figure what was amiss. she just lost it on the beauty dept.
Maybe she had some personal problems that took toll on her happiness. maybe.
i will be the last person to castigate Esther Arunga but she was wrong to quit her job. Joseph Hellon cannot pay her the salary that KTN used to pay her. she should ask Cess Mutungi. She had a future on TV. Maybe she would have become the next Zain Verjee. Caroline Mutoko has done herself a lot of good in Kiss by sticking there for all these years. Nyambane quit his job only to sell toilet detergents on TV.
i fear for the future of Esther Arunga if who she calls her friends and advisers are the likes of Joseph Hellon.
yesterday, she did not look good on TV at all. she was smart but acted a tart.She ought to have kept her cool. a third rate PR company would have advised her to keep away from the press conference. Celeb communications are done through Twitter, Facebook or a personal blog. not TV. my mum and grandmother watched her yet the only derivative of celebrity they know is maybe a wedding celebration. social sites make sure your communication get to the right people.
as a former admirer of Esther Arunga who will not hesitate being a fan again when she fix her life, i will advise her to keep off Joseph Hellon, that bullshit church, take some time off, relax, put her life in order and get something worthwhile to do.
Esther Arunga, i love you gal!
what exactly is the role of Joseph Hellon in Esther Arunga's life? how could she decide all this important decisions for her? are they sexually related , know that most cults have something sexual!
ReplyDeletei now know why u are bitter. u had fallen for the innocent Esther only to realise that on growing she lost her innocence. the other one is because u realise that other men that obviously u dont appreciate have been courting her.
ReplyDeleteBut surely, this Hellon guy is not very bad! i see a good looking gentleman in him. my problem comes on when people suddenly refer to his church as cult. is the "cult" in the name or what? is it in the fact that he has driven Esther out of her cheating fiance? has any body proved beyond reasonable doubts that such a big cult has been running in kenya for all those years. In any case, what is a cult? Aradicle competitor outperforming veterans can always be branded a "cult." could this be the case with Hellon's church? Can someone tell us why, how and when this church was declared a cult before kenyans loose their concentration on every other thing to make the beautiful Esther a national household devil !

ReplyDeleteYou are very shallow in your comment.I guess you like all other men used to adore the ppor gal and maybe you still do.Asking for someone to define for you a cult?you actually think this is a church?oh,now that hellon said religion is a lifestyle?only cults brainwash people like this one has.and to imagine that the so called celebs frequent this cult just makes it more......the likes of debbie asila,angie ndambuki,big kev etc.
My boyfie loved this gal esther.I am glad i now think he doesnt care what happens to her!
