Nigerian comedienne and actress, Helen Paul, recently opened up about a surprising incident where her ex-boss attempted to dissuade her now-husband, Femi Bamisele, from dating her.
In an interview with the Honest Bunch Podcast, Helen recounted how her former boss questioned Femi’s choice to date her, despite being her boyfriend and a lawyer at the time.
According to her, the boss went as far as advising Femi to merely have fun with her and not consider a serious relationship.
Helen shared, “My boss called my husband and said, ‘Femi, is it that Helen you want to date? You are more than this, but if you just want to enjoy yourself with her, it’s okay.'”
She further revealed that the HR department joined in, commenting on Femi’s cleanliness and legal profession, questioning why he would choose Helen.
