Nigerian female comedian,
Helen Paul, was accused of using Nollywood actress Stella Damascus as an object
of mockery during one of Helen’s stage performance in Lagos.
Helen has denied insulting Stella Damasus.
Some weeks back, the social
media was awash with a purported statement credited to Helen Paul. The comedian
was said to have verbally attack Stella that she ‘changes husbands like pants,’
but Tatafo, as Helen is fondly called, described the whole saga as untrue.
Helen said she actually
made a joke about herself, telling the audience at an event that she did not
change her name from Helen Paul after marriage because if her husband sends her
packing later, she would not have any reason to make change of name.
In an exclusive chat with
Naij, Helen, said she was equally surprised when bloggers concluded that she
was throwing jibes at Stella, “besides, a don’t know where the quote of
‘changing like pants’ came in because I never said anything of such,” she said.
Besides, both Helen and
Stella share the same Publicist, Bayo Adetu, and Helen, having that in mind,
said there is no way she would intentionally go after the respected actress.
“Aunty Stella is one of the
people I respect dearly. She is an inspiration to women, especially we the
younger ones. What people don’t know is that she takes me like a daughter, and
I respect her a lot,” Helen hinted.
However, the social media
was agog with news that Helen Paul mocked Stella Damasus over being linked with
different men.
