KAMPALA — South Africa-based Ugandan businesswoman and socialite Zari Hassan has fired back at media personality Full Figure, issuing a stern warning against "financial entitlement" after being publicly criticized for hosting lavish birthday bashes instead of funding charitable causes.
The drama escalated after Full Figure publicly called out The Boss Lady, accusing her of squandering millions on high-end celebrations while ignoring the plight of the underprivileged.
Refusing to let the commentary slide, Zari took to her social media platforms to set the record straight, cautioning critics against telling self-made individuals how to spend their hard-earned fortunes. Zari stated in a clip addressed to Full Figure.
Behind Closed Doors: Zari Details Her Hidden Philanthropy
Addressing allegations that she does zero charity work, the reality TV star revealed that her philanthropic efforts are extensive but purposefully kept away from the media spotlight.
Zari listed several key initiatives she actively supports:
Katalemwa Cheshire Home: Donating wheelchairs, essential medical items, and everyday supplies to children living with disabilities.
Women's Prisons: Providing basic necessities and support materials to female inmates.
South African Orphanage: Fully supporting an orphanage housing over 70 children, where she supplies meals, beddings, school uniforms, books, and computer equipment.
Unlike her high-profile lifestyle posts, Zari emphasized that she chooses not to turn all of her humanitarian work into a public relations spectacle.
With this latest response, Zari sends a clear message to her critics: her multi-million luxury lifestyle and her quiet generosity will continue on her own terms.
