Zari Hassan Says Seeking Support Elsewhere Can Be ‘Self-Defence’ in a Relationship

Zari Hassan Says Seeking Support Elsewhere Can Be ‘Self-Defence’ in a Relationship

Ugandan reality TV star and businesswoman Zari Hassan, popularly known as Zari The Boss Lady, has sparked debate with her views on relationships and financial responsibility. During a TikTok livestream, she said a man who stops his partner from working but fails to provide for her basic needs leaves her financially vulnerable. According to Zari, a woman in that situation may seek emotional and financial support elsewhere. She described such a decision as self-defence rather than infidelity, arguing that women should not feel guilty when a partner has failed to support them.
