Nigerian comedian, Mark Angel has rendered an apology over a viral video of Emmanuella in a ‘seductive’ black dress.
Emmanuella, a 13-year-old comedian, had many people talking online when a video of her displaying her teenage physique in a black dress and showing some skin went viral.
Reacting to this, Mark Angel, who is responsible for the upkeep of Emmanuella, has noted that he did not approve of the wearing of the outfit and the recording of the video.
“The video was shared without my consent or the consent of her handler,” he wrote in his Instagram story.
“I take full responsibility as a parent and I sincerely apologize for any discomfort or concern this may have caused. I’m addressing the situation with my child, emphasizing the importance of making responsible choices.
“Please understand that this was a mistake, and I am taking steps to ensure it doesn’t happen again,” he added.
Mark Angel explained that Emmanuella innocently borrowed one of her elder sister’s outfits, recorded a video, and shared it on her WhatsApp status.
However, a family friend, who Mark Angel believes should have contacted the family first to address any concerns, instead downloaded the video and shared it on her TikTok platform.
“I want to address a situation involving my child: Emanuella’s recent video that has been circulating on social media. Unfortunately, she innocently wore inappropriate clothing belonging to one of her elder sisters without our knowledge, posted it on her WhatsApp status but unfortunately a view-hungry adult (who I believe should have done the right thing by calling to report the child’s behaviour considering that we consider her a family friend) She downloaded the video and posted it on her own TikTok account without considering that the child may have posted that video without fully understanding the consequences,” he wrote.
According to him, Emmanuella may have taken the video “without understanding the full consequences.”
Nonetheless, he is sorry for the discomfort it may have caused her fans and all other persons.
