The interview quickly went viral, drawing a mix of sympathy, scepticism and humour from social media users. Some questioned her account, while others focused on lighter moments from the clip.
A section of users mocked the emotional tone of the interview:
“That hug is so dry for a crying babe… tell that host to give better hugs when the scene has tears,” one comment read.
Others doubted the authenticity of the story:
“Because she doesn’t believe this story… I saw that too, not genuine,” another user wrote.
Some reactions reflected disbelief:
“Mbona inakaa uongo,” one user commented, suggesting the story sounded untrue.
However, there were also voices calling for empathy:
“I wonder why people are finding this funny… someone speaks about a painful experience, and people laugh. No wonder some women stay silent.”
