Nollywood actress Bukunmi Oluwasina has said that the rumours saying she previously dated Lateef Adedimeji are frustrating.
She recently revealed that dealing with very ridiculous misconceptions is one of the challenges she faces as an actor.
Speaking during an interview with Naomi Chima, Bukunmi shared that people constantly refer to her as Lateef’s ex, but the truth is that they were never in a relationship.
According to her, even though she has repeatedly said that she’d rather remain unmarried if the last man on earth was an actor, so many fans still choose to believe the fake rumours.
She stated that honesty has always been part of her brand, hence the reason she gets frustrated when people spread false narratives.
“Sincerity has always been part of my brand. But over the years, I’ve had to deal with some truly ridiculous misconceptions. One of the most persistent and frustrating is being referred to as someone’s ex—an actor I have never dated.
It’s baffling because from the beginning of my career, I have been very vocal about my stance on dating within the industry. I have said it in countless interviews. If the last man on earth was an actor, I’d remain unmarried. That’s my personal decision. I have no problem with people marrying actors. It works for some, and I respect that, but it’s not for me,” she said.
The actress further noted that fans even go as far as saying they are not happy that Lateef married someone else, and such comments are extremely disrespectful to her marriage and her husband.
She concluded by saying that she has never been with Adedimeji outside of a film set, and she doesn’t even know where he resides.
“What bothers me the most is the disrespect. Even recently, someone commented on my page, saying, “I still don’t understand why you and this actor didn’t end up together.” That’s not just false; it’s offensive. It disrespects me, my marriage, and my husband. And the crazy part is, I have never been seen with this person outside a film set. I don’t even know where he lives. So, how did people decide we were in a relationship?
I have never given any reason for such speculation. In fact, people have made up relationships for me, except the actual relationship I was in for 11 years. No one ever knew who that person was until I posted my wedding photos. I just wish I could go back in time and erase that false narrative,” she added.
