Sylvia Savai, the popular face behind the Senjee comedy skits, is fighting back after a false and distressing rumour spread across two Kenyan blogs, Pulselive and Ghafla Kenya.

Both outlets shared posts claiming that the 35-year-old actress and content creator had tragically passed away. The inaccurate reports quickly went viral, sparking widespread concern among her fans and loved ones.

While Pulselive took down their post and issued an apology the next day, Senjee feels the damage was already done. “It’s too late for an apology when you’ve already caused this much harm,” she said, clearly frustrated.

“Their recklessness has affected me deeply, and I deserve compensation for what they’ve done.” Ghafla Kenya followed suit by removing the post, but they did not offer any apology.

The news was especially hurtful given Senjee’s ongoing battle with endometriosis, a condition that has already taken a toll on her physical and mental health. The false reports only deepened her distress.

“I woke up to hundreds of RIP messages, and the phone kept ringing with missed calls,” she recalled. “Can you imagine my shock when I found out they were telling people I was dead? My mother was devastated—she became ill from the shock.”

Senjee’s mother, who lives in the countryside, was one of the first to hear the news, and the toll it took on her was immense.

“She opened her shop, and customers came in offering condolences, not knowing that my mother had just read online that I was dead,” Senjee explained, her voice heavy with emotion. “How cruel can people be? This is something that could have broken her heart completely.”

This wasn’t the first time Senjee found herself the target of careless journalism. Back in June, Pulselive published incorrect information about a fundraising campaign she had organized for her medical treatment. “I had to personally message them to fix it.

This isn’t the first time they’ve messed up,” Senjee pointed out. “It seems I’m an easy target because of my health struggles.”

Now, Senjee is considering legal action. “Yes, Pulselive apologized, but what about the lasting effects of this on my mental health and my family?

What about my brand that’s been tarnished? It’s not enough to say sorry after the damage has already been done,” she said. “They’ve hurt me once, and I’m not going to let them get away with it. They must be held accountable.”
