A week ago, the media was awash with reports of Big Brother Winner Karen Igho shunning a Miss DEE magazine cover photo-shoot; with many saying she snubbed the shoot because she did not want to appear pn the mag’s cover with former BBA colleague Vimbai.
But Karen has come out to say she was ‘misrepresented’ and that she never turned down the offer because of Vimbai.
In a statement made available by her reps, Karen admits she was indeed approached by the magazine’s publisher to take part in a photoshoot back in September 2011, a month after she won BBA 7. But Karen says her team and the publisher could not reach an agreement on when the shoot should take place.
‘Ms Karen recently got a call with respect to the photo shoot, but for her engagement with her friend, Mr Denrele Edun on the ‘Heavy Beauty’ movie production set she could have gladly obliged. Hence, it is not practical that Ms Igho who was on a movie set in Lagos refused or walked away from being part of a photo shoot session with Vimbai in Abuja’, the statement read.
‘Ms Karen has been in frequent communication with housemates, even proven with the time spent with Millicent (Kenya) when she came to Nigeria in spite of the ‘House’ confrontations between both during the BBA game episode’.
Karen has also announced that she will be hosting a Big Brother Amplified reunion party in Nigeria towards her April 6 birthday celebration. The weekend long celebration will also see her launch her T-shirt line, make charity visits to orphanage homes and launch her upcoming TV reality show.
On Sunday July 31, 2011 Karen became the third Nigerian in a row to win the Big Brother Africa TV reality show.
