[citation needed] In 2012, Jenkins was appointed Plaid's spokesperson for Heritage, Welsh language and Sport.

[19] In 2013, Jenkins was criticised for claiming a nights stay in a Cardiff hotel after attending a Rihanna concert.

[20] In June 2012, Jenkins called Martin McGuinness, the then Deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland, "naive" in light of him meeting Queen Elizabeth II at a charity reception.

After Welsh Labour members highlighted the comments, Jenkins said that she was appalled at being accused of "trying to destabilise" the Northern Irish peace process, and that she was giving up Twitter for the time being.

[21] Early in the hours of 14 October 2012, Jenkins was arrested by South Wales Police in Llandaff, Cardiff, for driving erratically.

Jenkins issued a statement, stating that there were "no excuses" for what she had done, and that she had resigned her position as Plaid's spokeswoman on heritage, the Welsh language and sport.

On Monday, 15 October 2012, Jenkins was suspended from the Plaid group of AMs "while the process of justice takes its course".

[24] In the wake of a damning report that found "a culture of sexual harassment, bullying and discrimination" within Plaid Cymru, Sayed (as Jenkins had become known) claimed that party leader Adam Price had known about those issues for years.
