Nollywood actress Laide Bakare has once again addressed the criticism surrounding her recent statement about taking her 17-year-old daughter, Similoluwa, to a nightclub.
Bakare had earlier come under fire online after a clip surfaced showing her saying she had introduced her daughter to clubbing and given her alcohol.
In a new video shared on her Instagram page, the actress clarified that she never gave her daughter alcohol, describing her earlier comment as a “slip of tongue.”
“I have not been able to concentrate since morning because of the accusations of me introducing my teenage daughter, Similoluwa, to alcohol. My phone has been buzzing since. She is a minor and she doesn’t take alcohol. I took her to the club but no alcohol,” Bakare said.
The actress added that she did not realise she had said she gave her daughter alcohol during the interview and apologised for the mix-up.
“I didn’t know I said it in the interview that I gave her alcohol. It was a slip of tongue. I am sorry to Simi and to the parents that feel like I am wrong with that step. This is why it takes time for me to grant interviews. I am sorry for the blunder,” she said.
Following her apology, her comment section has since witnessed calm with fans and well-wishers applauding her for admitting her wrong and clearing the air.
