Following the controversy surrounding her exit from the
Big Brother Africa house, Bimpe Susan Harvey, popularly known as
Goldie, has
issued a press statement where she apologized to all Nigerians for her
‘shameful’ misconduct in the Big Brother Star Game house.
The statement reads:
“I
want to tell Nigerians that I am so sorry. I am human just like
everyone. I am an extremely emotional person. Everybody has two sides.
What we entertainers represent on stage is different from who we are off
stage. And I didn’t go into the Big Brother StarGame with any strategy…
I
went in there as an individual and just to be my real self. And that’s
what Africa saw. I didn’t go into that house as Goldie, the performer; I
was in there as Susan. Fortunately, my teeming fans got to see the
human side of me and not the woman they see on stage.
I wear my
heart on my sleeve. I am brought up to be loyal and be truthful to
everyone. I am not the type that plot or play schism. So, when I.K.
showed me the nomination last Sunday, the discovery was shocking and my
knees went weak. Every other guy had like 8, 6 and 5 nominations, but I
had just two. And I was the one to leave. I felt betrayed when I
discovered one of the persons that nominated me for eviction.
Nigerians
are loving, caring and religious people. We have high moral standards.
And all these qualities I tried to exhibit while in the Big Brother
house.
You had about 50 cameras to watch you but I had only two
eyes and two ears and I believed in what I saw. But when I heard
everything he had said, I was sad, but I realise that he went into the
house to play a game. I have learnt my lesson and I am stronger for it”.
