The popular Nollywood actor, Ibironke-Ojo Anthony also known as Ronke Oshodi Oke had recently taken to social media to allude that her interview with BroadwayAfrica TV was misrepresented and taken out of context making it seem defamatory to her character.
The interviewer, BroadwayAfrica TV has now responded as well to the claim of the Nollywood star that the media house is making attempts to tarnish her reputation.
In a former report from YabaLeftOnline.com on this trending story, Ronke Oshodi Oke tearfully and with curses reacted to a viral video of the interview which was incomplete and covering only the part of her claiming she can’t be submissive or cook for a husband who can’t be fully financially responsible in the family.
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.
In a statement released by Broadway TV, the media house detached itself from such claim saying:
“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.”
