Jacque Maribe has addressed claims that she was under suicide watch.

That means a person who is being kept under constant watch because they are thought to be in danger of killing themselves is known as being on a suicide watch.

On September 22, 2022, the TV queen spoke to Nairobi News saying that she never pays attention to blogs trying to get traction by utilizing her name only to garner more likes and clicks.

 
 

“Suicide watch? Depression? By who? When? Why? I don’t even drink. I’m happy and healthy.

But ni life, sasa watu wakitaka clicks tufanye? (But it is life, if people want clicks, what do we do?).” She said

She also said that nobody in her family reads such crazy comments, therefore they are not concerned for her safety.

 
 

In response to the accusations, Maribe declared they will take the blog to court.

Maribe recently admitted that she had been feeling under the weather.

She posted a health update on her Instagram page, saying that she was doing good and that her loved ones had been at her side throughout her difficult time.

She said of her unanticipated health concern that:

"It's not a coincidence and it's not luck. I know it comes from above I've got miracles on miracles. A million little miracles."

Jacque Maribe credited her family and friends with supporting her throughout her rehabilitation and expressed gratitude for them.

"Thank you mummy dearest, papa bear, my ride-or-die sisters, and my boss."

Her message of thanks was also sent to her friends saying, "Die hard friends by my side and check-up calls." 

She then tagged 5 friends that she regularly hangs out with, adding;

"And my entire tribe's recovery wouldn't be easy without your love and care."

Maribe did not open up more about her medical condition at the time.
