‘HE HAD MENTAL PROBLEMS’ AKOTHEE ON ENDING MARRIAGE WITH OMOSH

Kenyan singer Esther Akoth, popularly  known as Akothee, has opened up about her divorce from ex-husband, Denis Schweizer, also known as Mister Omosh, revealing that he kept secrets from her prior to their April 2023 wedding. 

Speaking in an interview on the Gidi na Ghost Asubuhi show, the mother of five said that she later uncovered significant issues that the Swiss national had hidden from her, which she found unacceptable. 

Akothee disclosed that her ex-husband had been struggling with mental health issues but had not communicated to her before their wedding. “The things I later discovered were things I couldn’t sit with because he hid them from me. That secrecy is what hurt me, and I thought if you are hiding this from me now, how much more will you hide from me later?

What made me leave him was that he didn’t tell me his truth, that he had health challenges, specifically mental health issues. I’m not saying he was insane, but he had mental problems. He had something like bipolar disorder. When he told me, I asked him why he hadn’t told me before we got married and embarrassed me in front of people.” 

Akothee and Omosh separated in June, just two months after their extravagant wedding in Nairobi.
