For most of the last 24 hours, Marianne Brinner’s controversial blog Distant Lovers has been unreachable. Actually it emerges that she had deleted it herself.
In a brief interview earlier today with this blogger, she said the reason was that she had gotten upset and distressed over the nasty comments being made by persons who generally do not seem to believe her side of the story. So she has decided to take a new approach and tell the whole story from the beginning by publishing the entire set of email exchanges between herself and Jeff without changing a single comma. She hopes that when readers get to read the whole story from beginning to end, they will be able to make a better judgment of where the truth lies.
So now the blog is online once again (use this link) but Marianne says she will start publishing on Friday.
From what this blogger knows about Narianne, and without wanting to vouch for a news source, I can say that whatever her weaknesses, she is known for sticking to the facts and never talking about anything that she cannot prove with documents or some other hard evidence. The Sunguh Parliamentary Committee in Kenya that was constituted by parliament to delve into the still unsolved murder of former foreign minister Robert Ouko will remember Marianne as the witness who had documents detailing dates and other facts to back everything she said before the committee.
