Bernice Saroni has absolved herself from claims she wracked Samidoh's marriage by aiding Edday Nderitu's relocation to the US.
Edday moved to the US with all her children in early May 2023. Bernice Saroni hosted her with the kids at her house in Boston, Massachusetts for months until she relocated to her own house.
Speaking during a recent interview with Plug TV, Bernice allayed claims that she had a hand in breaking up Samidoh's marriage to Edday by aiding her 'escape' to the US.
"There are speculations that you are probably the main reason why she left her husband Samidoh?" Bernice was asked.
"Kwani Samidoh was dating Bernice ama Karen Nyamu?" She rudely dismissed the speculations.
"Venye alienda uku tu akili ikachange akasema she doesn't want to come back (when she got to the US she changed her mind and said she didn't want to come back)," the interviewer posed.
"Hio swali ebu endeni mukaulize Karen Nyamu coz ye ndo side chick wa Samidoh not me. Ata sioni Bernice na Karen mahali inakaribiana (that question go and ask Karen Nyamu because she is Samidoh's side chick not me. I don't see where Bernice and Karen are related)," Bernice Saroni answered.
The mother of four further insisted that her name shouldn't be dragged into Samidoh and Edday's breakup, shifting the blame to Karen Nyamu.
"First of all I wanna make this clear to all Kenyans. When asking me like me ndo nilitoa Edith huku, I am not Karen Nyamu. Kama Edith alitoka huku akaenda US or whatever decision she made I am not responsible for that. So they have to deal with Karen Nyamu, not Bernice Saroni. People should keep me out of that," Bernice stated.
"Bernice Saroni you are close to Samidoh, have you tried to convince him to get back together with his wife Edday Nderitu?" The interviewer posed.
"No that's not my story and I don't wanna talk about that," she said.
Bernice Saroni additionally noted that Edday was at peace in the US and that she talks to her every day.
"Of course, I support Edday, I am a woman I support a fellow woman. I talk to her every day she is my sister. She is happy, she is at peace you can see her on Facebook," Bernice said.
Bernice, who walked out of her marriage because of her ex-husband's infidelity, stressed that she opposes polygamy in its entirety.
"I don't believe in polygamy because the moment your partner or your husband involves another person he doesn't love you. Emotionally you guys are disconnected coz there is something that he has lacked from you that's why he is going to look for someone else. And where there's number two there will always be number three. When you ask number two if she wants number three to come they never agree so you always find it's always number one who suffers," Bernice explained.
Polygamy
Two months after she moved to the US, Edday Nderitu insisted that she would not share her husband with Karen Nyamu.
In a Facebook post on July 22, 2023, Samidoh's now estranged wife clarified that she was not in a polygamous marriage, noting that she left her husband to 'whoever needed him more'.
"Lemmie clarify few things that were shared online and not accurate…… I am not in any polygamous marriage as stated I left the husband for whoever needed him more," Edday's statement on Facebook read in part.
