A Kenyan company that makes women’s underwear has reached out to Marion Naipei with a multi-million-shilling job offer to become their brand ambassador. The offer came shortly after Naipei’s name and photos went viral following the leak of private videos by her former boyfriend, James Opande.
The company, which focuses on affordable and comfortable lingerie for everyday women, sees Naipei as someone who can speak openly about body confidence and self-worth.
The company contacted Naipei through her social media on January 19, 2026. They sent a formal message explaining the role. It would involve appearing in ads, posting about their products, and speaking at events about women’s health and empowerment.
The deal includes a monthly retainer in the millions of shillings plus bonuses based on sales. Naipei has not accepted yet. She said in a short post that she is considering it carefully and will decide after speaking with her family.
Naipei became widely known last week when Opande shared videos of her from a night out in a club. The clips showed her intoxicated, and one appeared to show him lifting her dress. She reported the matter to Buruburu Police Station with help from activist Geoffrey Mosiria.
She said Opande had promised marriage and support for her child but drugged her drink after she refused a threesome. The videos spread fast online, leading to thousands of views and divided opinions. Some blamed Opande for privacy violation. Others questioned her choices that night.
The underwear company saw the attention on Naipei and decided to act. Their message said they admire her courage in speaking out. They believe she can help promote body positivity and confidence for women of all shapes and sizes.
The brand has grown in the last two years by focusing on local production and fair prices. Their products are sold online and in shops in Nairobi, Mombasa, and Kisumu.
Naipei has received many messages since the videos went public. Some were supportive. Others were harsh. She posted about feeling unable to go out without people staring.
“Vile mimi mrembo hivi sae siwezitoka nje, mnakodolea tu macho, ni kama nimeiba,” she said, meaning she feels like she cannot step outside without being stared at as if she stole something. She also said she is healing one day at a time and appreciates the support.
This job offer gives her a chance to turn a negative situation into something positive. If she accepts, it could help her financially and give her a platform to talk about consent, privacy, and women’s rights. Many young women in Kenya face similar challenges online. A public figure speaking on these issues could make a difference.
The company has not released an official statement yet. They confirmed the offer was sent but said they respect Naipei’s privacy and will wait for her decision. If she takes the role, the first campaign could launch in the next few months.
Naipei has stayed mostly quiet since her initial posts. She thanked supporters and asked for space to heal. The police case against Opande continues. He remains detained while officers investigate claims of drugging and sharing intimate images without consent.
This development shows how fast life can change online. A private moment goes viral. Criticism follows. Then opportunities appear. Naipei now has a choice to make. Many watch to see what she decides.
The offer also highlights how brands respond to current conversations. Body positivity and women’s empowerment are topics people care about. A company tying its message to a real story could connect with customers.
For Naipei, the next days will be important. She has support from activists like Mosiria. Her story has already started conversations about respect and consent in relationships and online spaces. Whatever she chooses, her voice has reached many. The job offer gives her options. The public waits to see the next step.
