Former Big Brother Naija contestant, Bisola Aiyeola, has revealed that women face more reproach than men for having children out of matrimony. The actress cum singer made this known while speaking in an interview with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu on Rubbin Minds.
In her words: ”I feel if it would have been better if I were a guy.There’s a stigma attached to single mothers, especially if you have a child out of wedlock. You’re judged.A lot of people actually said to me that they thought I had my child while I was in secondary school. I was like no, I was a grown woman. I was 23 years old when I had her.They kind of make it seem like the whole world is against you. It’s now up to the woman to bring herself up and I have an amazing family. My mum has always been on my side. If I was a guy, I would be celebrated more.”
When asked about the romantic affair she had with Thin Tall Tony while on the reality TV show, she said:”After the show, I see things differently; I don’t want to dwell on the issue.
Personally I don’t think there is anything he has to explain to me, I would like him to go on with his family, and I don’t want to cause any problem especially with social media.I felt we were friends and the least you could do was to tell me and tell me to keep it a secret and I would have done that.I felt he did me bad on that, but it was a game and I am seeing it from the game perspective. He was playing his game and I can’t blame him for that.”
