• Doreen says she will not apologise for refusing to date financially struggling men.
• She dismisses body-shaming comments as cyberbullying and insists she knows her worth.
• The presenter says past relationships taught her important lessons and she will not lower her standards.

KFM presenter Doreen Nasasira is refusing to back down over her controversial views on relationships, money and dating, insisting that her critics are simply struggling to understand the difference between a personal opinion and a universal rule.

Nasasira recently sparked heated debate after saying she would never date a financially struggling man, arguing that her previous experiences had taught her valuable lessons.

Rather than apologise, she has doubled down on her position, saying much of the criticism is coming from people who feel personally attacked by her views.

“People don’t know what a personal opinion means. I have dated a financially struggling man before, and what I saw is something I can never go back to.”

The presenter also hit back at people who have attacked her appearance, with some allegedly making comments about her eyes and accusing her of being sick.

Nasasira dismissed the remarks as cyberbullying, maintaining that she knows herself and is confident about her appearance.

“I know my worth. I don’t leave home before I look in the mirror and see that I am beautiful.”

She jokingly described her much-discussed eyes as simply “romantic eyes,” refusing to let the online criticism affect her confidence.

Nasasira further explained that she has been through several relationships and suffered enough to learn from those experiences. For her, ignoring those lessons would be a mistake.

She admitted that she has “bad manners,” pride and ego, but argued that her strong sense of self has also prevented her from making certain decisions she would later regret.

According to Nasasira, having standards and maintaining class are important in today’s dating scene, and she has no intention of lowering hers to please critics.

She also stressed that she has never condemned love or relationships, insisting that she is simply sharing her personal experiences and opinions.

Her message to critics was simple: understand that distinction, and there will be peace.
