Juliana Olayode, popular
for her role as 'Toyo' on Jenifa's Diary, comes
clean about her self acclaimed virgin
status.
Having made a huge deal out of her
being a virgin, she has disclosed that that
indeed was a lie.
She said,
"People had assumed I was a
virgin. I had never said I was but I had
never corrected their assumptions either.
So, I was still in that fix.
Shortly after my confession, Ebony Life
TV called me for an interview. I went
and for the first time in my several
interviews, I was asked point blank if I
was a virgin. I tried to evade the
question, but my interviewer was not
having it.
She demanded a yes or no. I did
not see the question coming and I
lied. I said, "Yes, I am a virgin".
Immediately the interview was
over, I hurried to the bathroom in
the studio and cried.
I felt terrible
for lying and told God I was sorry.
I called Dee on my way home and
confessed my wrong. I explained
further when I got home. The
next thing he said shocked me.
He said, "Call her and confess the
truth. Ask for a rescheduling of
the interview; do it again and
undo your mistake."
I was not going to do that. I felt it
was my secret and the whole
world need not know about it.
I
was upset with myself, however,
for answering her. I could have
insisted I could not tell.
So, I proposed never to
answer such again. Easier
said than done, right?
Shortly after, I was on
another TV interview, Crux
Of The Matter, with Elsie. I
was invited to talk about
sexual purity while the
other guest spoke against.
In the process of the
discussion, around the time
when it was heated, I was
asked out of the blues
again if I was a virgin. And
before I knew it, I heard
myself lying again. I was
mad at myself.
I was on another TV
interview that trended for a
while.
It was On The
Couch, with Lady Ariyike. I
talked about sexual purity,
but thankfully I was not
asked if I was virgin. After
that one, I decided to stop
interviews altogether. I
was tired of lying or having
to dread lying if I was
asked straight up.
