'I didn’t want to be associated with Big Brother; I had to be something other than a reality star. I had to put my creativity to work. But I’ve learned to accept my past, to live with it and to grow from it; that’s my journey.' BeverlyOsu Entertainment
and for her participation in the season eight of the Big Brother Africa, where she represented Nigeria, alongside Melvin Oduah. In this interview with CHINONSO IHEKIRE, the award-winning model spoke on her exploits in the entertainment industry and life as an entrepreneur.
I feel like everyone sees what I want them to see; people think Beverly is such a playful person. Well, I’m very playful, but I love my quiet time. I’m a loner; I’m an introvert and extrovert.Well, it has been high and low with me, because like it has affected our jobs and our source of income, we still got to do things. Personally, it just gave me more time to do some thinking, to re-energise and revaluate my life, which I feel happens to just everybody.
No, I was over it after a year. I don’t think my journey was like any other’s journey; I came out very confused, highly depressed. It took me two years to really get into the entertainment business. I say entertainment business because you remember I said I was in the entertainment industry for fun; I still have fun doing it. But now, I make money while doing it. So, two years of my life, I was really confused. I was going through ups and downs; mental health issues.
The rape situation has not gotten to me; it’s not as if we are waiting for turn by turn, but I’ve not experienced it. I don’t think I have put myself in the frontline for that to happen. Rape in the entertainment industry, I really don’t know what to say. I feel like now people are listening, but at the end of the day, anybody caught raping should be dealt with. I’m not just saying from men raping women, there are women that rape men too; I’m never one-sided about this.
