Big Brother Naija reality show star, Alexandra Asogwa, popularly known as Alex Unusual, has recounted how she lost a deal after a false allegation was leveled against her by faceless blog.
In 2021 GistLover alleged that Alex was having affairs with married men including comedian, AY.
The blog also alleged that the reality star and her stylist, Medlin Boss, were lesbian partners.
However, Alex came out to debunk the allegations and challenged GistLover to provide evidence which the blog didn’t.
Speaking in the latest episode of Doyin’s Corner podcast, Alex said the scandal made her lose a deal she had already sealed with a school for her Unusual Fest event.
She said, “Years ago, a blogger came out to do a story about me, married men and my stylist, lesbianism. A lot of things that they said I’ve done. Ordinarily, I would have ignored them. But I’ve a children event that I was planning, an anti-bullying event. What am I teaching kids if I would not teach them to know when to speak up for themselves?
“Parents of the kids attending my event were already sending messages to me, urging me to debunk the allegations. I wouldn’t have said anything if it did not affect my work. The school had sent me a message to say that they had cancelled the deal that we already concluded on. And it hurt me. That was the first time I ever put out anything [debunk allegations]. I put it out on my social media page. I said come out with your proof. And I kid you not, if there was any proof the person would have brought it out but there is nothing.”
Alex featured in Ayo Makun’s movie ‘Merry men 2’ which stars other top Nollywood actors like Falz, Ramsey Nouah, Jim Iyke and a whole lot more.
Alex, has really been into a lot of work in the media, fashion and branding since she left the BBNaija house.
Alex is also a model, who was born in Nsukka and currently resides in Lagos, Nigeria.
