Judy Maina popularly known as Nurse Judy has opened up about her romantic affair with content creator Murugi Munyi's husband.
The cheating scandal surfaced in November 2022 when blogger Edger Obare shared Nurse Judy’s conversations with Murugi’s husband Zach.
Speaking in a recent interview with Mungai Eve, Nurse Judy narrated in detail how her affair with Zack unfolded and how they were busted.
Judy said she chose to come clean about sleeping with Zack because people portrayed her as the devil who cheated on her own husband and also wrecked Murugi's marriage.
"When it came out ilikua inaniweka mimi as a bad person so I had to give my side of the story. Venye hio story ilikuja ilikua inaonyeshana tu like venye tu like I am the bad person mi ndo nimebreak my own home na nkaenda nkabreak another person's home," she said.
Nurse Judy absolved herself from allegations of ruining Murugi's marriage, claiming that by the time she started having an affair with Zack his marriage was already on the rocks.
She added that Zack and she hooked up because they had both been cheated on by their spouses.
"What people didn't know this other home was already broken coz the person there was already cheating on the husband, sasa the husband mwenye nilicheat na yeye, the woman was already cheating na pia mimi my husband was already cheating.
Nurse Judy further disclosed that her clandestine affair with Zack was exposed after a friend shared screenshots of their conversations and spoonfed Edgar Obare with the juicy gossip.
"It was like a friend told a friend. My friend alikua na screenshots, he took so many pictures of my conversation with Zach. And then sasa huyu beste wangu akashare na beste yake. Rafiki yake hakua anapenda Yummy Mummy and she is the one who shared the screenshot with Edger na Yummy Mummy herself," she said.
Judy noted that she couldn't deny she had cheated on her husband with Zack because of the damning evidence that implicated her.
"You can deny kwanza kama hakuna receipts. Mimi I was exposed in a way that mbaka kulikua na receipts, yani clearly ndo hizi," she said.
Judy had to fly to Tanzania to apologize to her husband in a bid to save her marriage.
"Tulicut communications [na Zack] kabisa kabisa sasa hapa nko tu najaribu kudeal na familia yangu tuone kama we can make things right at least coz we have a beautiful family sikua na imagine after 12 years of being together."
The cheating happened while she was staying in Kenya with her children while her husband had just moved to Tanzania after landing a lucrative job.
Judy ultimately quit her job in Kenya and joined her husband in Tanzania but the ghosts of the affair still managed to bring down her marriage.
"Sasa nikiwa TZ kukawa na a lot of back and forth still on the same story, ikafika point ikakua inanidrain ndo sasa eventually we had a big fight still around the same story. We had that big fight ndo sama nkasema I am done na nkaondoka," Judy said,
After breaking up with her husband, Nurse Judy relocated to the US to hustle. She moved on with another man as her hubby also got someone else to warm his bed.
Nurse Judy and her husband separated for one year before they rekindled their love and got back together.
"Hii separation ya one year really helped a lot. We separated for one year, he moved on with another woman I moved on with another man," she stated.
Zack, Murugi separate
Nurse Judy's affair with Zack also wreaked havoc on Murugi's marriage.
Speaking in a September 2023 interview with Lynn Ngugi, Murugi disclosed that Zack and her briefly separated because of the affair with Nurse Judy.
"It was really really difficult for us, actually at some point we separated but it was not separating that we wanted to break up it was that the situation was causing us so much stress that it was really impossible for us to be together at that time in a respectful way. So we took a break, we took some time apart I think it was just about two weeks and then we came back together and we spoke about what happened, we had conversations, we did therapy," Murugi said.
"We did what we could to keep our marriage together and we have rebuilt since then," she added.
The content creator further claimed that she had forgiven Nurse Judy for fooling around with her husband.
"Whether or not anything happened between her and my husband I feel like the only person who is accountable to me is my husband. I obviously don't like being insulted, I don't like being thrown tomatoes at, I don't like all these things but there is a part of me that feels empathy, that feels sadness for her. I just want women to succeed, I want women to win. Whatever it is I hope she heels, I hope she prospers. Holding a grudge you are giving someone so much power in your heart, I just don't have space for that," she said.
