Media personality Joey Muthengi on Tuesday, December 15, narrated of an incidence where a politician relentlessly pursued her when she worked as a news presenter at Citizen TV.

Muthengi, who doubles up as an actress, was speaking to comedian MC Jessy on his show when she disclosed that some of the films she has been cast on, prompted people to believe that was her true character.

Giving an example of Changing Times where she had been cast as a gold digger who was married to an old man, the personality disclosed that some old men had tried to pursue her.

"I'm always the evil character in a film. For example, this woman who is a gold digger or something like that. I actually audition for different roles but I end up being cast for these roles," she narrated.

In particular, Muthengi narrated of a time she had to block an old politician who was making a pass at her.

"Politicians are notorious and I have no idea why they like media girls. It's crazy. When I was on TV and you know I used to host them every morning, there was one who kept calling me.

"I had to block him, then he started whatsapping me and I blocked him. Then one time I am at home and I see parliament on true caller," she narrated but failed to mention the name of the politician.

The situation made it awkward for the journalist who needed to host the politician a number of times on her show.

"I have never dated a politician but they seemed very interested in me... They are not single, all of them are married," she added.

Muthengi went ahead to talk about relationships, saying that she was looking for reputable online dating sites since traditional dating had not borne any fruit for her.

"I am looking for someone who will understand the real me, caring and someone who loves God and driven."
