Her comments were captured in a tweet by Citizen TV drawing numerous abusive comments which Pulselive.co.ke cannot republish.
In a candid phone interview with Pulselive.co.ke, Ms. Odero said she still stands by her comments even after the social media attack.
“I cannot take back any of my comments concerning Meghan’s wedding gown and makeup. As a journalist cum fashion police I am expected to have an opinion. And I gave it," she said.
She divulged that those attacking her had taken her comments posted on the tweet out of context adding that anyone who watched the whole interview would understand where she was coming from.

Having been an avid reader of Meghan's Lifestyle blog - The Tig - the Editor in chief at Couture Africa magazine, disclosed that her expectations were definitely over the rooftop, when it came to Meghan's fashion during the Royal Wedding.
"I used to read The Tig before her prince arrived...so definitely my expectations may have been too high.
"But let's remember Meghan herself once said 'For work, I get so dolled up that it's nice to wear boyfriend jeans and a sweater'" she said.
The award-winning fashion journalist avoided any more questions on the matter hinting that she does not want to give the story life.
She went ahead to wish Meghan and Prince Harry love and laughter in their marriage
