    The actress who is fondly called ‘Baddo’ also dismissed criticisms that the show promotes immorality, noting that it is voluntary.

    “I don’t even think anyone should condemn it. Watching the show is by choice. The show is not aired on national television. It is on cable TV where one has to subscribe with money. Participating in a reality show would not be hard for me because I have being in one before,” she added.
