"I Want a DNA Test": Eric Omondi Responds to Jacque Maribe’s Deadbeat Dad Claims

Comedian Eric Omondi has responded to journalist Jacque Maribe’s claims that he is a deadbeat father.

Maribe, a former reporter and news anchor at Citizen TV, on Monday accused Omondi of neglecting his fatherly duties since the birth of their son seven years ago.

On Tuesday, Omondi admitted he has not been supporting the child, saying he is not sure whether the boy is his biological son.

The comedian explained that the two made love after an office party, where they had too many drinks. Two months later, Maribe informed him she was pregnant even though they used protection that night.

“So we met at Radio Africa in 2012. I was working at Radio Jambo and Jacque was working at Kiss TV. So one random night after a Radio Africa Staff Party and after a few bottles of whiskey and wine glasses Jacque and I happened,” Omondi said through Instagram on Tuesday.

“It was really a one-night thing because she was dating KTN's Sam Ogina at the time. We used protection!!! After two Months Jacque tells me she's pregnant!!! I immediately ask her how since we used Protection? She then tells me "It doesn't matter the mother always knows who the Father is and that I am the Father!!! During the entire Pregnancy, nothing happened and we barely saw each other.”

Four months after the baby was born, Maribe asked Omondi to take responsibility but the entertainer demanded a paternity test first, something that irked the mother.

“I asked her for a DNA test so that I could comfortably be part of the baby's life and support fully. She got very offended and refused my request. For 7 seven years I have begged Jacque to allow us to have a DNA Test and she has continually refused,” said Omondi.

“I don’t mind supporting the child but if you want me to be fully present and supportive if you want me to be a father. Then we have to do the right thing!!!!”
