Angel Smith, a former Big Brother Naija Housemate, has reacted to the backlash following the viral footage of an intimate moment with a mystery female companion.
Recall, videos capturing Angel with an unidentified woman in affectionate poses, including a scene where they appear to be dancing together surfaced on social media.
The footage caused mixed reactions as netizens slammed the reality star for her now preferred sexual orientation. In response, Angel took to Snapchat to address the criticisms.
The 25-year-old emphasized that the content was shared intentionally, stating, “Mind you, THIS is my life, you people did not come upon some secret thing, I posted it MYSELF.”
She further challenged the moral judgments being cast upon her, questioning the selective outrage of critics: “Pedophiles are roaming on the street freely and the economy is in shambles but i should be sad because cuties juls called me a lesbian, its like the fuel price is not scary enough for yall.”
Addressing accusations of hypocrisy within religious communities, Angel remarked: “I’m sure you just lied yesterday or even just this last minute… you really think if you were to die today and a g@y person also died, God will exempt you from hell because your own sin is small?
“Its probably shocking but can you imagine that this is my life and I’m an adult and I can do whatever i like. And that shocking again, I am not homophobic and did you guys also know that because you think something is bad doesn’t mean the other person shares the sames beliefs as you? Did you guys also know that we will die one day and your opinions will be nothing more than a whisper caught in the wind? (SIC)”
She concluded her statements with a declaration of support for the LGBTQIA+ community.
‘I love the gays and i love the girls, let me even apologixe for any part of my personality that prompted anyone to believe otherwise?? I am not homophobic, so sorry. Up rainbow abeg,” she said.
