Eric Omondi says he regrets denying his alleged son with Jacque Maribe in public.
Speaking in a recent interview with Mwende Macharia, the comedian said although he was defending his brand, it was not necessary to expose the child to such drama.
"I regret denying that child in the public. Hasira hasara. I spoke about it and blogs blew the story out of proportion," he said.
The comedian then went on to explain his motivation for denying his son in public.
"I wanted to clean my brand since fake stories had been said about me. In the process, I tainted the child in the bad light although that was my truth," he said.
Asked if the case was taken in court, Eric said he was told to never comment about the issue.
"I was advised to keep quiet. We did not solve the whole issue but I have a good relationship with the child and also with Jacque Maribe. She is a good friend to me," he said.

At the time, Maribe had claimed that Eric Omondi does not provide for his son and does not pay his school fees, thus Maribe had asked for a DNA test on their child.
She also chastised him for not knowing where his son resides. However, the self-described President of Comedy, Eric, gave his side of the tale on his Instagram page.
Eric went on to say that he had requested the baby's DNA after it was born, but Jacque had refused and was upset about it.
"We used protection and after two Months Jacque told me she was pregnant! I immediately ask her how since we used Protection???
She then tells me 'it doesn't matter the mother always knows who the father is and that I am the father.
He went on to add;
During the entire pregnancy, nothing happened and we barely saw each other.
Roughly 4 months after the baby was born Jacque called me and asked me if I would help or be part of the baby's life," he said.
