Taking to social media, Michelle disclosed candidly the thing that led to a setback in their seemingly perfect relationship and the biggest mistake was being cheated on by her partner whom she referred to as they/them with multiple women.
Michele narrated that it took her time before she healed and was undecided on whether to make everything public and even hid the whole story from her friends and media who reached to regarding their unusual silence.
“The purpose of this is message is not to create any further divides, but to shed light on the situation. I am thus not concerned for anything else other than the truth. This year, more and more people began noticing that them and I are interacting less, both online and offline. Wherever I go, I am asked about them and why we are apart, including right here online, which is why I am addressing it on the very same platform. Most people felt very supportive and invested in our relationship, by virtue of the fact that we are public figures and we openly shared our love and friendship. I also do understand that there are so many friends, fans, followers and couples we inspired across the country, including the entire LGBTQ. Community. I felt that we owe those who loved and looked up to us the truth. Friends, media and blogs and have reached out to me all year to get me to share on the matter. I couldn’t get to speaking about it because of how painful it was. I realized however, that being silent about it is costing me my own sanity and healing. I have now come to a point where I believe speaking about it will heal me and help me move forward in peace,” she wrote in part.

She revealed more and more and noted that Makena was a serial cheated who cheated on her with not one or two but multiple women. Michele further stated that she made a move of contacting the ladies concerning their relationship with her ex Makena and the ladies clearly confirmed that they were in an affair.
“The truth of the matter of why we are no longer together is serial infidelity on their part with multiple partners. Those I suspected and confirmed are two individuals; one a public figure, and the other a less known married woman, a health worker. Eventually, these individuals undoubtedly confirmed the above. I attach screenshots and my responses simply to alleviate denial. (All pronouns muted),” wrote Michelle.

The Marini Natural founder further added that would never tolerate infidelity because she is not a cheater as she has been heartbroken in her previous relationships and knew the importance of taking her relationship seriously. She, however, stated that if they would have owned up to their mistake, things would have been maybe different.
“When it comes to love and relationships, infidelity will never be in my cards. Sure, no one is perfect. We all make mistakes. But at the very least, if they’d have owned up to what they’ve done, we would be in a much better place,” she narrated.
“I have sat silently with this pain for almost a year. It has eaten me up inside and affected my mental and emotional health. Each time I am asked about them, I am triggered with the reality of what they did. I now choose me. By speaking up about it, I am denying any more power to my pain. I deserve the peace. What they have done to me is downright heartless. It is not right to go around hurting someone you claim to love, putting on a façade that all is well, while leaving their life in disarray and not being accountable for the pain and trauma caused. Regardless of whether or not we were publicly official with our relationship, it is the principle of breaking a human being in this way that I am calling out,” Michelle added.
The 37-year-old was saddened by the thought that her best friend and lover betrayed her and more so, only used her.
“Besides the lies and infidelity, I feel extremely used. I am currently coming to terms with all of this. It has been a tough journey this year, but I am learning to let go of the hurt, move on and simply, adjust back my crown. Forgiveness is an emotion you arrive at, not decide to. My heart is big, I will get there,” said Michelle.

The media personality thanked her family and her fans who supported her fully. She also thanked the LGBTQ community for being there for her and said she had to address them because she was cheated on and so was the whole community.
The heartbroken entrepreneur further revealed that she would not be deleting any photos she took with ‘them’ because she believes that what was done out of love is not regrettable.
“To the LGBTQ community, thank you for your constant love and support. I feel terrible because I was lied to, therefore in turn you were too. It breaks my heart when I recall how hard you rode for us and looked up to us as your beacons. This explains my absence in the events by the company. I will always love and support you, and if nothing else, all the work, effort and love I painstakingly put into the company we both began is the biggest evidence of that, and my greatest gift to you,” – Michelle
Adding on,
“I will never delete anything on my page with them that we shared. Anything done out of love, will never be regrettable by me. It is a beautiful testimony of our love and I am ever so proud of loving them so boldly,” she revealed.
Ntalami also penned a sweet message to her now ex-girlfriend explaining how much she truly love ‘them’.

“ I loved you truly, deeply and loyally. I didn’t deserve the deceit and dishonesty. But I choose to focus on how boldly we loved, the beautiful experiences we shared, the impact we had and the lives we touched. When the right time comes, I wish you even more love,” Michelle said.
