A Nigerian man has criticized BBNaija star, Tacha, for sharing a video where she gracefully removed his hand from her waist during a photoshoot.
In the video, the man was seen posing for a photo with the BBNaija star and putting his hand around her waist as he waited for the photo to be taken and Tacha quickly removed his hand.
The moment was captured on camera and Tacha shared the clip on her Instagram page with the caption: “I just couldn’t lol.”
The video quickly went viral on social networks and sparked numerous comments from internet users who criticized the man for not keeping his hands to himself.
However, the man has now released a statement explaining his version of the incident. He claims that Tacha asked for the photo backstage and he didn’t know it was being filmed.
He agreed that Tacha’s decision to share the video was an “attention-grabber” as she expressed no concerns about the way he held her waist.
He also demands a public apology for the defamation and expresses his frustration at the criticism and condemnation as well as the psychological torture he has suffered.
The statement reads,
“Hello, everyone! I’d like to address a viral video featuring Tacha and I. I want to clarify that I was unaware of the video; she asked for a quick photo backstage, and I obliged as I was assisting as a stage manager for the said show. If she had any concerns, she didn’t express them. It seems like an attention-seeking move, explaining my delayed response. I’ve received calls and faced defamation from various sources, including brands, individuals, and even at my workplace. Tacha, I hope you understand the gravity of this situation on my mental well-being and the risk to my image. A public apology for the impact on my reputation would be appreciated. I look forward to your prompt response.”
