Emmanuella’s guardian and popular skit maker, Mark Angel has tendered an apology over the viral video of his 13-year-old protégé and comedienne, Emanuella Samuel, which stirred mixed reactions on social media.
He explained that the video was shared without his consent by some ‘adults’ who took it from her WhatsApp status without consent.
In the video, which is being circulated on social media, Emmanuella was seen flaunting her figure in a bodycon cut gown.
She wore a black dress with a thigh-high slit that revealed her cleavage.
While responding to the conflicting reactions about the way she was dressed, Mark Angel apologised and adding that the video was shared without his consent.
Taking to his Instagram page, he wrote, “Dear friends and family, I want to address a situation involving my child: Emanuella’s recent video that has been circulating on social media.
“Unfortunately, she innocently wore inappropriate clothing belonging to one of her elder sisters without our knowledge, posted it on her WhatsApp status but unfortunately a view-hungry adult (who I believe should have done the right thing by calling to report the child’s behaviour considering that we consider her a family friend), downloaded the video and posted it on her own tiktok account without considering that the child may have posted that video without fully understanding the consequences.
“The video was shared without my consent or the consent of her handler.
“I take full responsibility as a parent, and I sincerely apologise for any discomfort or concern this may have caused.
“I’m addressing the situation with my child, emphasizing the importance of making responsible choices. Please understand that this was a mistake, and I am taking steps to ensure it doesn’t happen again.
“Thank you for your understanding and support during this challenging time.”
