OJ comes clean on his drinking habit: I have never been an alcoholic but sometimes I over do it

A lot has been said about actor Dennis Mugo aka OJ’s love for the bottle.

In the past, he has issued mini-statements regarding this trying to save his image and probably career.  The actor recently appeared on K24 and yet again denied that he’s an alcoholic, a reason why he was dropped from Citizen TV program Tahidi High.

He however confessed that he loved drinking and sometimes overdid it.

“I have never been an alcoholic in term of dependency on alcohol but there are times I have overdone it. But it has never gotten to a point of going to rehab or having cops involved,” he explained.

Comeback

He said that leaving Tahidi High was bound to happen in one way or another because it needed younger characters. He later made a comeback on the show as a teacher.

“The story about leaving Tahidi was based on the realism of the show, it had to be maintained. We had been in the show for over 6 years. It was a phasing out of the old class that had Abel Mutua, Philip Karanja and Sarah Hassan. We started as 2nd-year students and when we were leaving Eddy already had two kids…it was time. There is no way Eddy is telling guys that he is in form 4 and he has two kids outside the show. The believability of the show kinda shakes.”
