Nigerian comedienne and actress, Helen Paul, recently disclosed a challenging chapter from her past, recounting how her former boss attempted to dissuade her then-boyfriend and now-husband, Femi Bamisele, from pursuing a relationship with her. Helen shared this revealing anecdote during an interview with the Honest Bunch Podcast.
According to Helen, her boss questioned Femi, who was not only her boyfriend at the time but also a lawyer, about his choice in dating her. The boss, seemingly disapproving, suggested that Femi should only enjoy a casual relationship with Helen and not consider marriage.
She recounted the boss's words to Femi: "My boss called my husband and said, 'Femi, is it that Helen you want to date? You are more than this, but if you just want to enjoy yourself with her, it’s okay. My HR looked at my husband and said, 'Look at how clean you are, a lawyer. Why the choice of Helen?'"
The revelation stirred reactions on social media, with many expressing disappointment in the boss's actions. Some users shared similar experiences, while others condemned such negative interference in personal relationships. Despite the challenges, Helen Paul's husband received praise for standing firm in his choice and remaining confident in what he wanted.
The incident sheds light on the societal pressures and judgments individuals may face in their relationships, emphasizing the importance of personal choice and resilience in the face of external opinions.
