Tanzanian media personality and model Karen Bujulu, the former girlfriend of singer-songwriter Juma Jux, has publicly addressed swirling rumors by declaring that she was not unfaithful, but rather the one who was cheated on. In an emotional Instagram Story post, she emphasized:
“I didn’t cheat. I was the one who got cheated on.”
Karen revealed that she remained in the relationship “too long” and forgave multiple times before finally deciding to end things. She wrote that she had chosen silence throughout the speculation, but could no longer stand by while her reputation was unfairly besmirched .
Clarifying her stance, she stressed that her social media activity continues to be misinterpreted as related to Juma Jux. She asserted:
“I didn’t speak because I didn’t see the need to explain myself online, but somehow, everything I post still gets turned into something about him.”
With Juma Jux recently marrying Priscilla Ojo, daughter of actress Iyabo Ojo, Karen emphasized that she has moved on and healed, requesting that the public refrain from dragging her name into a chapter that’s already closed. She reaffirmed her emotional closure by saying, “Let me be clear: I’ve moved on. I’ve healed. I promise you, I don’t want anything or anyone back.”
Karen Bujulu’s candid response has drawn support from fans and fellow public figures, many of whom praised her for speaking her truth and maintaining grace amid public scrutiny. Her statement also sparked wider conversations online about the challenges women face in high-profile relationships, particularly when dealing with false narratives and blame in the aftermath of a breakup.
