On October 25, 2019, YouTube comedienne Brenda Jons, popularly known as Mama Plesident Kingston, shared a heart-wrenching story of her traumatic experiences with K24.
At just five years old, Jons was first raped by an uncle who repeatedly abused her, threatening to kill her if she reported him.
Her second experience of rape occurred at the age of 12, when her aunt's husband assaulted her, warning her that no one would believe her because he was a man of cloth.
"…this time it was violent because he stuffed socks into my mouth. He then dared me to report him saying nothing could be done. He did it once and told me that's what he just wanted and even if I reported no one would believe me," Jons added.
Tragically, Jons' experiences of rape continued when she was manipulated by a pastor who told her she was 'meant for the church.'
"He noticed me and told me you are so talented and meant for the church. When I went for the bible study guys were actually leaving he told me I don’t have to go we can talk about it and before I knew it was like 12 midnight. He was telling me how gifted I am and before I knew about it this guy was all over me," she recalled.
After the assault, the pastor gave Jons Sh200 and asked her to ensure she didn’t get pregnant, as he did not want his name tarnished.
Seeking revenge, Jons went on a mission to break the hearts of several men, pretending to fall in love with them only to dump them.
"I would heart-break people for the sake of it. I just wanted to see a man feeling that pain for it to fulfill my ego," she recalled.
However, Jons later realised that this was not the right thing to do and regretted it. She has since stopped hating men and is ready to date any loving Mr Right out there.
