Karen responds to cheating allegations

In the wake of the wedding buzz, Karen Bujulu took to Instagram to address swirling rumours that she had cheated on Jux during their relationship a narrative that many fans have accepted without her side of the story.

Breaking months of silence, Karen firmly denied the allegations and claimed that she had, in fact, been the one betrayed.

I've kept quiet for the longest while people dragged my name and ran with lies. I didn't cheat. I was the one who got cheated on. I stayed too long, forgave till I couldn't anymore... and then I left.

Karen’s statement appeared to be motivated by a desire to set the record straight and move on from the persistent public association with her past relationship.

Let me be clear: I've moved on. I've healed. I promise you, I don't want anything or anyone back. I truly wish everyone peace. I just ask to be left out of a chapter I've closed.

Timing raises eyebrows

While some social media users praised Karen for finally speaking her truth, others questioned her timing.

The statement came just days after Jux’s wedding, prompting accusations that she was trying to draw attention away from the newlyweds.

However, many others came to her defence, arguing that everyone deserves the opportunity to speak up when their name is unfairly dragged through the mud.

Karen seeks closure

Despite the mixed reactions, Karen’s intention was clear she wants to close this chapter of her life for good and focus on the future.
