In 2013, Miss Mandi turned down the funnyman in a demeaning manner at a time he was looking for an opportunity to join 1 FM.

Butita had send her one of his funny clips looking for a comedian slot on her show.

She blatantly wrote to him via email, "So I checked out the clip and as much as I saw the audience laugh, I didn't laugh. Secondly, we are not looking to hire a comedian because we are not trying to fit in with what radio stations do here. Thirdly, the last comedian who I had live did not make me laugh, you clip as well did not make me laugh and I am beyond skeptical of brining on a comedian on my show. I always source for my funny clips,”.

Upon receiving the heavy worded Email, Butita replied; "Okay, thanks for your reply/

Asked to comment on Miss Mandi’s response, the funnyman said that it was very demoralising.

“I felt very bad, I felt inadequate, I felt like it was not about what I had presented but what I was at the moment. I felt like being failed by a gate keeper,” he added.

The former Capital FM presenter confirmed that she and Gitobu had worked together at the now defunct 1 FM in 2013. The radio station was closed down in 2019.

Addressing similar sentiments shared by other former colleagues, Miss Mandi noted that she had seen the accusations and felt sorry for propagating the 'mean girl' culture.

"I have taken the time to think deeply and reflect about those incidents to understand the entire situation... In all honesty, I do not recall the many experiences recounted online, but that does not negate that those moments could have impacted those I have worked and interacted with negatively.

"I can see how those experiences contribute to the overall 'mean girl' culture that is perceived to be part of the media industry here in Kenya. I do not wish to contribute to that culture and I mean that sincerely," she stated.

The media personality pointed out that as she has grown older, she has become more conscious about how she presents herself and how she treats the people around her.
