South African-based Ugandan socialite Zari Hassan has publicly apologised to her husband, Shakib Lutaaya over her recent outbursts labelling him ‘broke’ on social media were driven by frustration.
The businesswoman opened up about her actions during a media interview, where she shared that she is currently in Kampala to reunite with Shakib and mend their relationship.
Reflecting on her behaviour, Zari acknowledged that her actions were misguided and attributed them to her emotional state at the time.
“Things happen… God created us to make mistakes… We make mistakes… But after you reflect and realise you went overboard.
“I’m a stubborn woman. I’m an independent woman… I’m Zari the BossLady… But, in all honesty, I made a mistake… I had my frustrations,” she said.
Zari admitted that she used social media as an outlet to vent her frustrations, recognising that it was the wrong platform to express her feelings.
She explained that her actions were driven by a build-up of emotions, leading her to lash out publicly.
This apology follows a series of heated exchanges between Zari and Shakib, which began with a social media post by Zari on August 12.
In the post, she accused Shakib of being jealous after her ex-partner and father of her children, Diamond Platnumz, attended their daughter’s birthday party in South Africa.
In a candid message, Zari questioned whether Shakib was truly the right person for her.
“I don’t think I’m for you. I’m very secure, and I chose you. But with your insecurities, if you’re thinking otherwise, then maybe you should find someone on your level. What do you bring to the table for me to be here proving myself?” she stated.
