Joe Mwangi's Damning Allegations Against Wendy Waeni and Her Mother ¶
Appearing on the Chipukeezy show, Joe Mwangi, Wendy Waeni's ex-manager, made four damning allegations against the young gymnast and her mother, Magdalene Syombua.
According to Mwangi, the problem began when he took away Wendy's phone, which led to the accusations made by the gymnast and her mother.
He denied traveling the world with Wendy, stating that his passport only has one stamp, and claimed that there was no money taken from the young girl because the last time Wendy performed was two years ago.
They agreed with her mother to let her concentrate on Standard 8 studies because she was a candidate, and as an artiste, you can only get paid when you perform, so the question is, when was the last time Wendy performed?
He also disclosed that Ms Magdalene Syombua is a drunk and must have spent all the money on alcohol, citing an instance where he gave her Sh100,000 for Wendy's form one school fees, but she spent it on alcohol.
He insisted that Wendy's mother had misused all the money and he was only being used a scapegoat to fool the public.
He promised to give his side of the story with evidence on everything that transpired leading to the recent accusations made by Wendy.
Joe Mwangi's words come days after the 14-year-old gymnast exposed him on Citizen TV's #JKLive show, saying that he was taking all the money they were paid from all her performances.
