During her appearance on the podcast, Mai Jeremaya reportedly delved into the events surrounding the case.

In the course of their online interaction, she shared details about her personal life, specifically mentioning problems she was experiencing in her marriage, stating she was simply venting.

However, she went on to make the striking confession about her openness to a potential romantic relationship with the person she was communicating with.

"In my head I was praying and doing these affirmations, ndichingoti eish dai zvaita, you know I have big plans," she is quoted as saying, adding directly, "And to be honest, ndanga ndiripapoint yekuti, of course, I’ve overshared and l have put myself out there and if in any case this Sam wants to date me. l think l am going going to."
