- Faith Morey added that she believes the feeling is mutual, as they didn’t seem to pay attention to her as well.
Faith Morey is not pulling punches in a new interview with Arise TV, her first sit-down interview since the season finale weeks ago.
The Real Housewives of Lagos star, who joined the cast in season two, is finally speaking publicly about her experience on the show and the other housewives.
From the first episode, Morey’s relationship with the other housewives became a subiect of contention among fans of the hit Showmax series.
After the actress, Iyabo Ojo stepped on Morey’s dress unprovoked in the first episode this season, fans made accusations that some of the housewives were unkind to Morey. Ojo said on the show that Morey’s dress, which had a long train was not appropriate for the event. Morey said:
“I said it on the show, if I look at myself in the mirror and I look really great, I really don’t care how people take me,”
“I’m not in the business of making friends. If I find one friend (which I ended up making two friends on the show) it’s a plus for me. But I love myself. My manager always goes ‘It’s enough.’ Honestly, I don’t care what you say.”
Iyabo Ojo has since apologised for the incident saying she only did it to give a show.
When Morey was asked if her self-love might have gone too far and contributed to the animosity she received on the show, she pushed back arguing that there was no bearing to the suggestion.
“Well, why will the love of myself affect you?”. “Why should the way I walk into the room cause you problems? If you love it so much, why not do the same? We have the same two feet.”
Morey also came under heavy criticism from Ojo after she said during a game that she couldn’t speak her native language, kwerre. On the show, lyabo called her “fake” and accused her of putting on airs. She said:
“I’m from PH. See, the fact that my Port Harcourt people are fighting for me or supporting me on that, I’m good. If you live in Port Harcourt you will know better, that pidgin, which I’m very fluent in,” is the primary means of communication.”
Morey also clarified her relationship with Tania Omotayo who she had called “a puppet” during a heated debate on the season finale. She said:
” don’t know her personally.”
“But if you guys noticed, I waited till the last episode to kind of voice out my opinion because I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. I started noticing that [referencing her “puppet” comment] when I had the yoga session with her. When she’s alone, she’s vibrant. She’s this fun person to be with. When she is in a group, it’s a totally different experience.”
When asked to clarify her relationship with Ojo, Omotayo and Chioma “Goodhair” Ikowku, she said she didn’t “pay attention” to them.
”I didn’t pay attention and I think the feeling was mutual though.”
