Comedian Eric Omondi has revealed little known details about his past relationship with Jacque Maribe after she exposed him as a deadbeat dad.
In a detailed post seen by Pulse Live, Omondi said that he has begged Maribe for 7 years for DNA test, to ascertain if he is the biological father to their son but she has refused.
“Roughly 4 months after the baby was born Jacque called me and asked me if I would help or be part of the baby's life. 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 have a DNA Test and she has continually refused!!! I dont 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!,” said Omondi in part.
The funnyman added that he was surprised to learn that Maribe was pregnant yet they had used protection.
“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,” said Omondi.
He added that; “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 afew bottles of whiskey and wine glasses Jacque and I happened. It was really a one night thing because she was dating KTN's Sam Ogina at the time”.
Deadbeat Claims
On Monday, Omondi, in an interview with Mungai Eve, called Maribe on the phone in the glare of the cameras.
In the recorded phone conversation, she claimed that he was a deadbeat dad and was not in touch with their child.

“When was the last time you paid school fees?” Jacque asked severally during the phone call.
