BBN: It's not my style! Kemen apologises for fondling TBoss

Disqualified Big Brother Naija housemate, Ekemini Ekerette, better known as Kemen has issued a statement of apology for sexually harassing fellow housemate TBoss which led to his disqualification from the reality TV show.

In the statement, Kemen sought forgiveness from TBoss and all women after he touched her inappropriately without her consent and was subsequently sent packing from the show eliciting furore among Nigerians who felt he was unjustly eliminated from the show.

“My name is Ekemini Ekerette, popularly known as Kemen (@Kemen_Fitness) one of the Big Brother Naija 2017 Housemate. I am a Fitness Trainer and a Model before joining the Big Brother house,” he said.

“Firstly, I hereby tender my sincere apologies to TBoss and ask for her forgiveness as well as all the women in Africa who perceived my action as violation or a sexual offence… however I have stated the reality of what actually happened in my interview.

“I knew that everybody was playing the game in the house at the same time competing for the prize. I realised that I overplayed my game which brought about my disqualification.

“As you all know, I have my fitness outfit, where I train a lot of people both men and women. There has been no case or report of such acts from me. I regret the turn of play while trying to play and compete for the prize.

“I must emphasise that reality is different from perception however I also use this medium to apologise to all women being the International Women’s Day, and the entire crew of Big Brother Nigeria, including my fans and family.”

Recall that a day after he was disqualified, news began to make the rounds that Kemen’s family are preparing to sue organisers of Big Brother Naija after registering their utmost displeasure and discontentment on his disqualification from the on-going reality TV show but the rumour was later denied by his Kemen’s family.
