On June 11,  Milele FM reporter Ankali Ray contacted both Sarah Hassan and Abel Mutua to uncover the truth behind Abel Mutua's statements and the ensuing controversy.

Ankali Ray, renowned for his in-depth explorations into celebrity lives, managed to obtain a detailed explanation from Mutua.

Abel Mutua clarified that his podcast comments were taken out of context by individuals trying to promote a specific narrative. He emphasized that the discussion was about the characters on the show, not the actors themselves.

"Ni hitilafu ya yule ambaye alienenza uvumi. Hakuwatch the podcast episode vizuri. It was not about Sarah Hassan, Abel Mutua, na Denis Mugo. Ilikuwa story ya characters zao OJ, Freddie na Tanya," he stated.

Mutua elaborated that fans of the show were rooting for the characters OJ and Tanya to end up together, and did not want Freddie to win the 'battle' for Tanya's affections. Therefore, he wrote the script to reflect that dynamic.

"Wakati huo sisi wote tulikuwa katika mahusiano. Mimi nilikuwa na bibi na mtoto mchanga, Denis Mugo na Sarah pia walikuwa kwenye mahusiano. It was a character war, not sisi wenyewe. Mafans wangu wa nguvu wanaelewa kile nilikuwa namaanisha," Mutua added.

Abel Mutua emphasised that the cast of 'Tahidi High' had a brother-sister relationship during their time on the show. He mentioned that no real-life relationships existed among the cast members, except for Mrs Ngatia and Omosh, who are married in real life.

"I wish hata mngekuwa hizo enzi muone how we used to operate brother-sister. Can you imagine during our stay in Tahidi High there wasn't a single relationship apart from the character relationships," he said.

Mutua pointed out that the internet often distorts information for views, leading to misunderstandings.

"But hiyo ndio kazi ya internet. They take things and misconstrue, wanakula views zao na tunasonga mbele," he remarked.

Sarah Hassan's reaction when asked about Abel Mutua's remarks

When Ankali Ray attempted to get a response from Sarah Hassan, the call seemed to catch her at a busy moment.

Hassan, who was on set at the time, briefly responded, "Niko set... is it possible to just text me?" before hanging up.
