August 17, (THEWILL) – The management of Pere, Big Brother Naija, BBNaija Season 6 housemate has opened up concerning the allegations that the ex-soldier bullied and provoked fellow housemate, Whitemoney.
It appears to be a pro-Pere PR effort geared towards whitewashing what a section of viewers sees as the ex-American soldier bullying a housemate.
THEWILL had earlier reported that Whitemoney and Pere had an altercation on Monday night after the latter confronted Whitemoney, asking to know what he told Angel during a game.
As though ready for a fight, Pere inclined towards Whitemoney, pulled his belt and repeatedly asked to know what was discussed about him.
Other housemates told Whitemoney not to speak further but the matter got worse because of Pere’s insistence and Whitemoney became angry, which led to serious arguments between both parties.
Pere’s behaviour has since been condemned by viewers as well as housemates who called for a strike to be issued to him by Biggie for “bullying” Whitemoney.
Reacting to the backlash, Pere’s team in a statement posted on his official Instagram page stated that his behaviour to Whitemoney was in no way an act of bullying.
According to the management, Pere is the most misjudged and misrepresented character in the house due to the audacity of his personality.
They cautioned viewers not to take sides and push a convenient narrative.
The statement partly read: “The events of the last 24 hours has stirred up mixed reactions with a number of people expressing their displeasures and dislikes. Bullying of any form for whatever reason is unacceptable and we do not condone or support it. We however want to use this medium to express that whiles Pere’s actions were somewhat uncomfortable to watch, it was in no way an act of bullying.
“He is undoubtedly the most misjudged and misrepresented character owing to the complexities and audacity of his personality. He is neither afraid to make a mistake, fall or be misjudged. He wears an overwhelming air of confidence that can easily be misinterpreted.
“We must be careful not to swap confrontation for bullying just to play into a convenient narrative. Was this confrontation necessary? Yes. Was it Bullying? No.”
