DOES content creator Ritzmcleish Strawbae LOSE her mind sometimes?
Or is she just someone who is so DULL she doesn’t understand the weight of some of the things she utters from her mouth?
The motor mouth, whose real name is Michelle Moyo Mcleish, is battling a backlash on social media for a shocking post in which she mocks married women who do not have children.
Ritz has come under fire after sharing a post that appeared to joke about the difference between being married without children and being a single mother.
In the post, she told her 412,000 followers on Facebook:
“Rega ndimboseka vanhu vari married vasina vana, asi Mwari mungape munhu marriage momunyima mwana.”
The shocking remarks have drawn criticism from social media users with some questioning whether the content creator was losing touch with reality. She felt the heat and later addressed the controversy, claiming that a co-admin was responsible for publishing the post without her knowledge.
She said she only became aware of the post five minutes after it was published and immediately dismissed the administrator responsible.
“The disadvantage of having multiple admins nekuda kutsvaga monetisation,” she said.
“I got to know about the post after five minutes and it’s very unfortunate.
“Within a minute vanhu vanenge vatotora ma screenshots kudhara (that’s the disadvantage of being Ritz),” she said.
She apologised to those who were offended by the post, saying she respects everyone regardless of their family circumstances.
“Vese vatadzirwa I’m very sorry, inini ndinoda everyone and I respect everyone,” she said.
Ritz said she believes children are a gift from God and urged couples who are struggling to have children to remain hopeful and patient.
“Varume musarambira vakadzi venyu kusazvara, uye vakadzi musarambira varume venyu kusazvarisa. Let us wait sezvakaita Sarah akatozozvara ane 90 years,” she said.
“Both mwana ne marriage zvinhu zvinobva kuna Mwari. I love you all,” she said.
H-Metro understands she was forced to apologise after a number of brands, which she has been fronting for, told her they were going to end their association in the wake of her nonsensical post.
“Nhasi ka Shadhayaa neka Ethi twakachangamuka changamuka. Twaawanawo content yekutsvagisa sadza this week, day rese analysing 1 single anovaremera, If I’m not relevant as they try to believe, why nhasi twaswerera kutaura nezvangu?”
Tawona Shadaya, a social media personality, was highly critical of Ritz.
“She didn’t say anything I wouldn’t expect from her, she’s not that intelligent,” he posted.
“Hakuna munhu anofunga mushe mushe anomitiswa more than once nevarume vakasiyana.
“Kune vari kunzwa hasha, ndinoti ma***** because why would you even be following her in the first place.
“I have always said this, munotevera madofo, ma****, mbavha, then somehow get angry when they do or say what they’re supposed to.
“That’s the tragedy of this country, you have made i****s famous, so you must suffer the consequences.”
Interestingly, even as the backlash against her exploded, there were some who were backing her.
Here are some of the comments:
