The public feud between the two former friends was called “Clowns War”, and Ronnie witnessed the christening of “Wagata Christie” in response to her special police skills in her attempts to track down the person responsible for leaking her social media posts.
Ronnie claimed that she set the privacy settings to make sure the stories were only visible for one account, that belonged to Fardi.
