Nollywood actress and former Big Brother Africa housemate Beverly Osu has finally addressed the long-standing rumors surrounding her controversial relationship with South African dancer Angelo Collins during the 2013 edition of the reality show.
In a recent sit-down with media personality Chude Jideonwo on the With Chude podcast, Beverly set the record straight, emphatically stating that she never had sex on the show, despite public speculation.
“I didn’t do it. I didn’t have sex on the reality show,” she said. “I was madly in love with Angelo and got too comfortable around him, which led to the rumors.”
The actress, who was just 20 years old at the time, revealed that the public fixation on her romantic involvement with Angelo overshadowed her entire performance on the show and has followed her for years.
“I brought out so many things from Big Brother, other than that [relationship with Angelo],” she said with frustration. “I was so irritated because that was the only thing viewers picked. Literally, it was love.”
Beverly admitted that her relationship with Angelo was genuine and deeply emotional, but emphasized that it should not define her time on the show or her career.
“Every problem that I have had in this life is because of the greatest gift of God: love,” she confessed. “I was dating na, make we tie gele? I was in love with him.”
Reflecting on the aftermath, Beverly noted that the experience had a significant impact on her early career, often placing her under a microscope for the wrong reasons. Still, she expressed gratitude for those who saw beyond the headlines and embraced her for who she truly is.
“I have people that love me for who I am,” she said.
With this honest conversation, Beverly Osu is not only reclaiming her narrative but also shedding light on the personal toll that public scrutiny can take especially when it's fueled by sensationalism rather than the full picture.
