#bbnaija: “My Grandmum Used To Lay Me On The Bed When I Was 16 To Check My Virginity”- Angel (VIDEO)
Big brother naija housemate, Angel Smith, gave some information about her upbringing to fellow housemate Cross this morning. Angel stated that she only knew her mum when she was 7 years old.
She also stated that there was so much fear for her not to get pregnant and there was a time her grandmother laid her on the bed to check her virginity.
Watch the VIDEO below:
Some weeks ago, Angel also disclosed that her mother almost aborted her because of teenage pregnancy.
In her words,
“As some people know, my mum had me when she was pretty young, when she was 16 years old and about to go into college.
When she got pregnant for me, she thought she could handle it. I mean, it’s just a baby right? She was happy. Thus the yellow here at the beginning of the artwork.”
“She was happy to have me regardless of the age. She tells my granny, ‘oh mummy I’m pregnant’ but my granny goes ‘what will people say? You’re a woman, a young woman. You should be in college. You should be entering university like your mate, why would you want to keep a baby?’
So my granny tells her, ‘you’re going to get an abortion.’ That’s what she said.
My mum decided to go for the abortion but unfortunately, I remained. So now she’s thinking about the different things that’s going to happen.
During that process, there was a lot of slut-shaming. ‘You’re 16 years and you’re pregnant’, which is what most women go through. There was a lot of hurdles that she had to face.”
