Vanessa, who was the envy of the town back in the days when socialites ruled the showbiz industry, talked about her failed marriage, relationships and friendships.
She revealed she ran away from home and got married when she was 18.
"I was married to an older Mzungu man I met in Nairobi. He was older than my dad," she said.
The mother of three disclosed that she met her husband on Facebook, and they were married for three years before they parted ways.
"When I got into fame, he was insecure because I used to pose for photos with different celebrities and come home late," she recalled.
They say fame comes with a price, and Vanessa paid it dearly.
"Someone jealous of me started rumours that I was spreading HIV/AIDs in Nairobi. It was all over the internet, and I did a test to shut down the rumours," she said.
She disclosed her Mzungu hubby had gifted her a car, but after the breakup, he took it.
How Vanessa Chettle went broke
The former model-turned-socialite revealed she started hosting in clubs and got paid.
Vanessa remembered working with a crew of 15 people, including DJ Evolve, who was her deejay.
Vanessa said she bought another car after breakup, moved to a one-bedroom apartment in Lavington and dated some big names in the showbiz industry.
"I was involved with some of the movers and shakers in the industry, but it wasn't anything serious," she said.
Vanessa said after fame, and when she started earning, she became a drug addict and would use hard substances, including designer dr*gs.
"It got to a point where I gave my dealer my car. I could get substances on credit and pay later. We agreed he would use my car to do his business and pay me weekly, but it got to a point where when I got hooked on dr*gs, I would take dr*gs as payment. I used to buy substances for my crew too because I wanted them to be on the same level as me," she recalled.
Eventually, things got out of hand, forcing Vanessa to sell her car.
"I sold it for about KSh 1 million. Instead of buying another car or investing the money I blew it on dr*gs and friends," she said.
Vanessa said it got to a point where she fell out with all her friends, and at that point, a top influential celebrity she was dating used his power to finish her brand.
"Auctioneers came and took everything from my house. Friends started hosting me but some were very jealous. I came to later realise that I didn't have genuine friends," Vanessa added.
