Ritah Dancehall Reflects on the Love That Nearly Cost Her Everything

Ritah Dancehall, born Rita Nassazi, is known for her wild energy on stage, earning a reputation as one of the best dancers in the country.

But beyond the bright lights and crazy performances lies a heartbreaking story she recently shared in a media interview.

During her Senior Six vacation, Ritah experienced deep heartache when the first man she ever loved told her he no longer felt the same.

The pain was unbearable, and in a moment of despair, she made a drastic decision to poison herself, leaving behind a note for her parents.

In the note, she pleaded with them not to harm the man she identified as Steven because she truly loved him.

The poisoning left her in critical condition, and she spent three days in a coma, but thankfully, she pulled through.

Looking back, she sees that dark time as a reflection of the depth of her love, something she believes is a defining trait of Scorpios like herself.

Despite everything, Ritah Dancehall still considers herself a true romantic.
