Nigerian actress, reality TV star, and model Beverly Osu has spoken about the idea that she is controversial, saying she has never tried to cause reactions or get people talking on purpose.
Speaking on the Creativtea Podcast, Beverly talked about her childhood, sharing that she grew up in Lagos and had a strong Catholic background.
The reality TV star shared that she went to Daughters of Divine Love Juniorate in Enugu and at one point thought about becoming a Reverend Sister.
“I was meant to be a Reverend Sister. I wanted to really be a Reverend Sister. Now, I am doing God’s work in other ways,” she said.
Explaining what drew her to the religious life, Beverly said that she admired how disciplined and well-presented priests and Reverend Sisters were.
“I love how they dress. Because I am meticulous and very neat, I just loved how clean the priests and Reverend Sisters were. Literally, that was it,” she added.
Beverly also spoke about the reaction to an old photoshoot where she dressed as a Reverend Sister, which caused a lot of debate and criticism on social media.
She explained that her Catholic background was completely genuine and that people often look for controversial meanings in things where none were intended.
“I grew up in a very Catholic-oriented home. This is not just being Catholic in Africa, far and wide. People just read meaning to it. Nigerians just like to talk. It wasn’t a big deal. It was just arty,” she said.
Addressing her reputation for being controversial, Beverly said she has never done anything with the intention of causing a stir.
“I have never meant any harm. I have never done anything with the mindset to be controversial. I just came across the word ‘controversial’. People say I am controversial, but I am just being me,” she said.
