By Ayon Onikoyi
Nigerian actress, reality TV star, and model Beverly Osu has addressed the perception that she is controversial, stating that she has never intentionally tried to provoke reactions or create public conversations.
Speaking on the Creativtea Podcast, Beverly reflected on her upbringing, revealing that she grew up in Lagos and had a strong Catholic background.
“I grew up in Lagos, in Surulere, and from Surulere I moved to Yaba, Ojuelegba. I am a Lagos girl,” she said.
The reality TV star revealed that she attended Daughters Of Divine Love Juniorate in Enugu and once considered becoming a Reverend Sister.
“I was meant to be a Reverend Sister. I wanted to really be a Reverend Sister. Now, I am doing God’s work in other ways,” she said.
Speaking about her attraction to the religious life, Beverly explained that she admired the discipline and appearance of priests and Reverend Sisters.
“I love how they dress. Because I am meticulous and very neat, I just loved how clean the priests and Reverend Sisters were. Literally, that was it,” she added.
Beverly also addressed the reaction to a past photoshoot where she dressed as a Reverend Sister, which sparked conversations and criticism on social media.
She explained that her Catholic upbringing was genuine and that people often read meanings into things that were not intended to be controversial.
“I grew up in a very Catholic-oriented home. This is not just being Catholic in Africa, far and wide. People just read meaning to it. Nigerians just like to talk. It wasn’t a big deal. It was just arty,” she said.
Addressing the label of being controversial, Beverly said she has never acted with the intention of creating controversy.
“I have never meant any harm. I have never done anything with the mindset to be controversial. I just came across the word ‘controversial’. People say I am controversial, but I am just being me,” she said.
