DAILY POST recalls that Venita sparked controversy after asserting on the reality show that “Tiv men give their wives to visitors for entertainment purposes”.
The apex Tiv socio-cultural organisation, Mdzough U Tiv, Lagos State Branch, and the member representing Makurdi/Guma Federal Constituency of Benue State in the House of Representatives, Hon. Dickson Tarkighir, had threatened legal actions against Venita.
In a post-eviction interview with media personality, Hero Daniels, the mother of two said she regrets her “careless” comment especially as her daughters are Tiv.
She said, “The statement I made about Tiv people got twisted a bit. My daughters are actually Tiv. There’s no way I will be trying to make any kind of malicious or slanderous comment towards their people. Actually, in my season we did a whole play around the Tor Tiv coronation which I participated in and was super excited about.
“So, you know, sometimes you will say something maybe it is a little bit carelessly. And I think it got really misconstrued. And for those that are offended by it, I’m regretful about that.”
