Nigerian actress, Dorcas Shola Fapson, has recalled how a man once declined entering a romantic relationship with her due to the fact that her mother was late.
The Nollywood diva said the man told her he couldn’t date her after finding out that she lost her mother as a child and was raised by a single parent.
Dorcas shared the story when she appeared as a guest in the latest episode of the Bahd and Boujee Podcast, co-hosted by reality star Tolanibaj and VJ Moet Abebe.
According to her, the guy, whose identity she did not reveal, had explained that he couldn’t date someone who wasn’t raised in a two-parent household.
She said: “The most craz!est thing that someone has ever said to me was when I told a guy that I lost my mum as a child and he said he could never date me.
“He said that he can’t date someone who wasn’t raised in a two-parent household. And I get that but could I have prevented my mum from dying? Is that my fault?”
Moet Abebe said she has had a similar experience as a man also told her the same thing because he was raised in a single-parent household, but she did not think it was a reasonable excuse.
She said; “I can relate because someone has also told me that before. The reason was because he was also raised by a single parent. So, according to him, he didn’t want a child from someone with a similar upbringing. That was his excuse but I didn’t think it’s a reasonable excuse”.
