Former Citizen TV journalist Kimani Mbugua has been hospitalised a day after a video of him speaking incoherently went viral.

Mbugua recorded himself blasting people who contributed money to help him get a fresh start after leaving rehab and dared them to come for a refund.

However, in a new video that he shared on his TikTok page, Mbugua said he recorded the video to show how dark it is living with mental illness.

He added he was struggling to know how to balance the voices in his head, considering that he was battling bipolar disorder.

"The point of yesterday and all of those videos I have done is to show you guys how deep and dark being mentally ill is. How we hear about billions of voices in our heads, and somehow you still live. Every day that I wake up, I am alive, and I can exist. Existing is a privilege. Guys, thank you so much for being the best. I am okay. I have not lost my mind. That's just the other side of me," he said.

He admitted that he has two sides of him, one that is okay and the other that he is battling with mentally.

"I just wanted to show everyone what mental illness looks like. It is not glamorous. Stop glamorising mental illness. It's torture without end. And the greatest and the most mysterious thing is I wonder how I will live with it side by side," he added.

He shared his video after a lady took to TikTok to confirm that he was okay and that he was in hospital for treatment.

Mbugua apologises after viral video

Mbugua issued a public apology after making controversial statements on his TikTok account about threatening to refund Kenyans.

"Imagine, I had the audacity to ask you all to reverse the money you sent me. I'm sorry, guys, I failed you all. I'm sorry, guys, for showing me your undying love and wanting to throw it all away," he said.

Speculations regarding Kimani's mental state and potential relapse into substance abuse surfaced following the controversial video.
