Laide Bakare Apologizes Over Clubbing Controversy, Calls Statement a ‘Slip of Tongue’

Nollywood actress Laide Bakare has issued an apology following the backlash that trailed her recent remarks about taking her 17-year-old daughter, Similoluwa, to a nightclub. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

The actress came under heavy criticism after a viral clip showed her suggesting she had introduced her daughter to clubbing and given her alcohol. Addressing the controversy in a fresh video posted on Instagram, Bakare clarified that she never served her daughter alcohol and that her earlier statement was a mistake.

“I have not been able to concentrate since morning because of the accusations of me introducing my teenage daughter, Similoluwa, to alcohol. My phone has been buzzing non-stop. She is a minor and she doesn’t take alcohol. I only took her to the club—no alcohol was involved,” Bakare explained.

She further admitted she was unaware she had made such a statement during the interview and apologized for the slip.

“I didn’t know I said in the interview that I gave her alcohol. It was a slip of tongue. I sincerely apologize to Simi and to the parents who felt disappointed with that remark. This is exactly why I’m cautious about granting interviews. I am sorry for the blunder,” she said.

Since her clarification, reactions in her comment section have calmed, with many fans appreciating her honesty and applauding her for addressing the issue directly.

Was it also by slip of tongue that you took the girl to a nightclub? As you make your bed, so you lie on it. You have gotten yourself addicted to a wayward lifestyle. The public knows it, whether you admit it or not.

I won't be surprised if you give your underage child alcohol. What will surprise me is that you don't give your underage child alcohol.

This is problem I always have with people most especially Nigerians some Nigerians will not mind their business this poke nose can't be obtainable worldwide the nonsense things start in Nigeria and end in Nigeria.

If laide give her daughter alcohol or poison please what's your business how does it affect you?she call you for help? I don't know why some can't just be like me.

If it is not our business, tell her to stop giving us updates on the issue.

Actually, you and she are the ones that do not mind your business. Did we ask her about her daughter and about she giving her daughter alcohol before she came to tell us that she gave the daughter alcohol? If we had praised her for taking her underage daughter to a night club and giving the daughter alcohol, you wouldn't have told us to mind our business. But because our reaction to the incident does not please you, you are telling us to mind our business.

It isn’t a slip of tongue but a slip of brain. Go and slip no more

No need to apologise. When I was even younger my dad used to give us alcohol and monitor our usage, when I grew older I never got freaked out by alcohol, you can never see me drunk with alcohol, because it doesn't freak me. And I would do the same for my child, its better you "spoil your child" in a controlled environment than for their peers to do it.

Na them. If u marry them be prepared to cope with lawlessness and immorality in the home forever.

Clout chasing up and down!

If she had not been called out, she would have used that to derail other mothers who would say that's the best approach to motherhood; giving one's daughter alcohol at a young age..

It is so interesting to see how a lot of people think they've got everything in order and are in charge of everything, until everything falls apart right in their faces..

You are dealing with intelligence form, flesh and blood and you think because she's your daughter, you have got her life figured out...

Careless talk.

This is just damage control.

You've put the morality level of your daughter up for questioning.

She is doing advert for her daughter,and don't mind Nigeria men shouting up and down they will soon slide to her DM begging with money to have the girl contact.

In the UK she will be arrested and charged for child abuse if her daughter is not up to age. She may even face safeguarding charges which is the worst charge anyone can face in the UK

The younger generation look up to you as their role model. Hence, you need to do better next time.
All the best, Laide.

All I can say is anything for the camera/paparazzi lol…

You are part of the bigger problem with our nation, such a warped mindset which you take as wokeness

. When you see armed robery...mind your business. When you see politicians stealing ...mind your business. When you see wreckless and dangerous activities around you ...mind your business. When you see kidnapping going on in your neighbourhood...mind your business etc.

Until evil catches up with you and you wished someone spoke up for you

Thank you Jare. You know say anything goes in Nigeria where sentiments takes precedent over legality. Nigeria is a lawless society where the law can easily be manipulated to gain advantage. Make she go try that rubbish for UK, social worker go collect that child from her for child abuse.

"Slip of tongue" kwa?

Na slip of tongue make you carry your 17 year old kid to a night club? Aside the alcohol, you sure know what goes on in there. You are only a step away from pimping her.

Where's the father in all of this? May our children never lack the presence of strong father figures in their lives.

Wen stronger mother, who also richer involves, what will righteous does?

Tonto Dike, Funke Akindele, Tiwa Savage among others, can they allow father to have, the least of positive impact?
