- Fans reacted, many believed she was not sincere and insulted her
Former Big Brother Naija housemate Damil has apologised to housemates and fans of the ongoing reality TV show for her behaviour on the show. Dami, who was evicted in the first week of the show along with her teammate, Toyosi, came back on the show in the ninth week on Thursday, September 26.
Dami and her fellow evicted housemates, Chinwe and Rhuthee, came back to the house to shake things up but displayed some questionable behaviour on the show. After the Saturday Night Gbedu on September 28, the three returnees wreaked havoc on some housemates like Ocee, Ozee, Onyeka and Wanni. Although they were booted out of the house on Sunday afternoon, September 29, the housemates have still not gotten over the drama and chaos they caused.
Dami has now issued an apology to fans of the show who trolled and dragged her on social media for her behaviour.
In a video she posted on her X handle, @thedamigold, she tendered an apology to the housemates involved and fans.
She said: “I am making this video to publicly apologise to my followers, my friends and everyone that has been affected by the altercation I had earlier in the house with my fellow housemates. I want to take a moment to sincerely apologise for my behaviour because I believe and I know now that it was completely out of line and I regret my words, my actions and I take full responsibility for everything that I said or did. I am really sorry.
“I want to use this medium to publicly and personally apologise to Wanni, Onyeka, Ocee, Ozee and Sooj. I am so sorry and I am really sorry for my words, for my actions, it was very unnecessary and please, I hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive me because I shouldn’t have done that. I should have handled it in a better way.
“I promise that I am committed to learning from this and I am going to grow as much as I can on how to handle situations going forward. Please forgive me. I also hope we can move past this and amend the whole thing. I know it is not going to be as easy, but please, give me the grace to make amends.
“I am really sorry. Emotions were high but it still doesn't excuse my behaviour. I am human and I am going to strive to do better.”
Fans react to BBNaija’s Dami’s apology
Many netizens are not buying Dami’s apology saying it is not sincere. Some people claimed she would not have apologised if the public wasn't against her actions on the show. While few people accepted her apology, a large number hurled insults at her.
Here are some of the comments:
