Sharon Momanyi decided to face off with online trolls who have been on her case ever since she returned to anchoring news on KTN.
Momanyi was body shamed for adding weight, trolls poked fun at her body because of the weight gain as they mocked her social media.
The KTN news anchor gained weight during her pregnancy. She went on maternity leave after giving birth and when she returned she was a bit bigger in size that before.

“Weuh… the number of times people feel the need to comment on my weight is nauseating yo.. how I gained it, what I feel and I’m doing about it is my business imagine. And I am happy and confident to be back on air!! Smiling face with smiling eyesWoman dancing. Be thinned (sic ) by your own!” Momanyi tweeted.

And the ever annoying comment “inakaa unaishi maisha poa..si ugawe hizo pesa unakula” I had to tell someone jana that just because I have put on weight doesn’t mean I have money..I could be depressed and eating is my “current” healer
