Reality TV star, Beauty Tukura has issued a statement in response to unfounded claims that she was a perpetrator of harassment and bullying.
A few days ago, an acclaimed ex-secondary schoolmate of Beauty Tukura called her out for being a bully while in secondary school.
According to her, they celebrated the ex-BBN housemate’s disqualification with a party because she put a lot of ladies at their school through hell.
See the tweet below,
Following the claims, Beauty Tukura’s management has issued a response, denying the accusations after conducting an investigation.
They shared information from the supposed secondary school who alleged that the lady who accused Beauty of being a bully was never a student of the school.
Read the statement below.
“We act as management for Beauty Etsanyi Tukura, an esteemed reality TV star, actress,
influencer and entrepreneur (hereinafter referred to as “Our Client”) and on whose behalf we
release this public statement.Following several publications, reports and commentary on the above subject matter, it has
become pertinent for Our Client to address the issue and shed more light on the facts surrounding
this matter.On the 11th day of November 2023, a defamatory statement was disseminated on the social
media platform “X” (formerly known as Twitter) by a certain individual named Ruby Deborah
Batubo with the handle @aiiy_bee wherein she accused Our Client of allegedly being “a wicked
individual” who actively bullied her (Ruby Batubo) while they were in secondary school.
Additionally, she claimed that this alleged bullying led her to attempt suicide.This accusation was profoundly surprising to our client, who maintains a firm stance against any
form of bullying. Consequently, in addressing the matter, we conducted a thorough investigation
and verification with Our Client’s Alma mater, the American University of Nigeria Academy (AUN
Academy) Adamawa State, Nigeria to confirm whether or not Ruby Deborah Batubo was indeed a
student. Upon conclusion of our investigation, it was discovered that there is no record of Ruby
Deborah Batubo ever attending the aforementioned institution.Whilst we appreciate and recognise the commitment to oppose bullying and the courage to
expose wrongdoers, whether from the past or present, it is regrettable that Ruby Deborah Batubo
has chosen to engage in defamatory actions against Our Client. This was aimed at tarnishing her
well-deserved reputation and successful career.We emphasize that these allegations against Our Client are not only malicious but also
unequivocally baseless, completely lacking in truth, and, at best, mere products of Ruby Deborah
Batubo’s imagination.As a law-abiding citizen who believes in due process, we affirm her unwavering commitment to
rectifying this egregious situation and seeking due redress through all possible lawful channels.
This press release stands as the sole official statement issued regarding this matter for now. Any
further communication will be provided as may be necessary in the course of obtaining justice in
this matter.Thank you”
