BroadwayAfrica TV Reacts To Actress Ronke Oshodi Oke’s Claim of Defamation In Viral Interview
Follow @eventlabgh < The drama between the popular Nollywood actor, Ibironke-Ojo Anthony also known as Ronke Oshodi Oke and BroadwayAfrica TV...
Barely 48 hours after the actress took to social media to cry that her interview with the media house was misrepresented and taken out of context making it seem defamatory to her character, the interviewer, BroadwayAfrica TV has now responded to the claim..
Recall, Ronke Oshodi Oke had taken to her Instagram account to cry profusely and raining curses as she reacted to a viral video of her interview with BroadwayAfrica TV which she allegedly claimed that she can’t be submissive or cook for a husband, claiming that the media house is making attempts to tarnish her reputation.
In parts, she said:
“if she were the breadwinner of her family, she wouldn’t cook for her husband”.
“It’s not because we don’t want to be in our husband’s house or we are not submissive enough. I am going to pay the NEPA bill if you don’t have. I will do some certain things if you don’t have.
So, you now come and expect me to cook for you to eat. It’s not going to work. It is just not going to work,” she said, explaining that role reversals should take place in cases where the woman takes on family responsibilities.
“If you are the man and you do absolutely everything, that’s when you can have total control [over] your wife.”
In reaction to the viral video which covered just that quoted part, she purported that Broadway TV misrepresented her interview and expressed displeasure over that.
Now, in a statement released by Broadway TV, the media house detached itself from such claim..
The statement read;
“Ronke Ojo released series of videos on social media in reaction to her interview released on our YouTube Channel, Broadway TV (Broadway Africa TV). She said the good things she had said during the interview were “Edited” out.
She also said she was quoted out of context and we wanted to tarnish her image.
While we cannot dictate to Ronke Oshodi Oke her feeling or her reaction to comment, we can say without any iota of doubt that her submissions were not true. She was not in any way misquoted, and she wasn’t playing or joking with the interviewer and cameraman.
The interview wasn’t “edited” in any way to make her look bad. We are open to “Aunty” Ronke pointing out in specific the areas she felt aggrieved in the interview.
We know for a fact that her theatrical reactions were as a result of comments on Instablog and some personal reactions from the people around her.
It is however not right in any way for her to misrepresent fact by saying Broadway TV did not ‘edit’ the interview well.
We have absolutely nothing against Ronke Oshodi Oke and we wish her well.”
