Content creator Elodie Zone has been the talk of the town for the better part of Sunday.
Elodie started trending on X after she posted a video on TikTok talking about her struggles.
In the video now circulating on X, she says she lost her family, disagreed and parted ways with her friends, went through a break-up owing to intimacy issues and lost her job.
She also says she moved out of her apartment because pets aren’t allowed there and left some of her belongings with different people she trusts.
“Most of my priced possessions like my books, TV, things that are very valuable and sentimental to me I left with a specific individual,” she says.
She adds that to show her appreciation to them, she helped sustain their homes, including fumigating one house to get rid of cockroaches.
This, she says, cost her Sh8,000.
She then goes on to narrate a physical abuse she went through, allegedly beaten by a man she lived with, who she says was drunk at the time.
He then chased her out and since then, Elodie says, she has been living in different air bnbs since February.
Talking about relationships, Elodie reveals that she has been in four, with two being abusive.
“I have been in four relationships and two of them have been physically abusive and people will never know. Same way right now it’s been about 15 minutes and I’ve come from being beaten up and you can’t even tell,” she says in the undated clip.
She says at one point, the physical abuse got to a point where the caretaker evicted her and took all her belongings, to save her.
The content creator adds that she feels isolated and ‘numb’.
“So, yeah. I’m just seated in this apartment not trusting anyone, not scared, not sad, not even angry. I just can’t think of the adjective,” an emotional Elodie says.
Kenyans on X (KOX) went on commenting on the video, with dissenting voices as some showed remorse towards her situation while others blamed her.
“We cannot misjudge Elodie. Sometimes being in a situation where no one listens to you is sad and traumatising,” one user Allan Obare wrote.
“Elodie is in that phase of life where you discover no one is coming to save you and you either save yourself or drown," Daughter of Muthoni wrote.
“I don’t know how many times people need to hear this, but social media is not the place to post personal stuff. May things get better for Elodie,” another advised.
