It is no longer news that famous comedienne cum actress, Helen Paul, fondly known as Tatafo had earlier revealed that she is a product of rape.
After the news broke, many people were of the opinion that the humour star may not be having a cordial relationship with her father. Be that as it may, Helen Paul in a recent chat said;
“I chose the occasion to reveal the story of my birth because I dedicated the degree to my mother. There is time for everything and I felt it was time to tell the world. Apparently, it’s not even my story; it’s my mother’s.”
“I am humbled and grateful to God for seeing me through the programme. Everyone was happy for me in my family. Even when I finished secondary school, everyone was excited for me. We celebrate each other in my household.”
“Despite my father’s misconduct at the time, I have never held any grudges against him. I am on good terms with my father. Is there anyone who doesn’t have a cordial relationship with his or her father? That can only happen if you are a terrible child.”
“Regardless of what your father might have done to you in the past, your father remains your father. If I said I was not affected by it while growing up, that wouldn’t be honest. It could affect anyone but I used my situation to my advantage. It inspired me to always do more and be the best, instead of being depressed.”
