Big Brother Naija season 3 star, Uriel Oputa , has revealed that her beauty has not only attracted men but also women , having been approached by lesbians “ plenty of times ” .
The 32 - year - old who first gained popularity as a contestant at the 2016 Top Actor Africa told The PUNCH in an exclusive interview that she doesn ’ t have anything against anyone into lesbianism, saying , “ how you want to live your life is how you want to live your life, but that ’ s not what I do . ”
Narrating an experience , the hair extension and wig enthusiast said , “ I’ ve had somebody approach me; she just wanted to be friendly with me. You know , how you meet a friend at a salon and so on… and the phone conversation turned from her looking for a house and all sorts of things to I like your hips . ”
A startled Uriel added that “ immediately I heard that , everything just made sense to me and I obviously started avoiding her . It was a bit awkward but I had to let her know that I don’ t do that sort of thing . ”
While she maintains a straight status, Uriel , who is single and searching for her prince charming , revealed that she has been approached by a lot of guys .
“ I am single and I am searching . I am very single ; I have had to turn down many suitors because I can smell somebody that just wants to use you sexually or someone that ’ s not just serious . I can smell that from a mile away . ”
Moving forward , she said , “ For me right now , I’ m single and I do hope that I meet somebody . I’ ve said it so many times that I’ ve dated ‘ up and coming ’ guys and the last one I dated , it lasted five years , but he ended up cheating and ended up marrying somebody else after I’ ve stayed with him for five years .
“ But for me, if you ask me what I look out for in a man , I don’ t think I’ m going to date an ‘ up and coming’ man . I’ m not saying I want to date somebody that is rich , but I want to date somebody that is doing something with their life.
“ My ideal kind of man is Anthony Joshua ‒ tall , athletic , nice body ‒ you have to be smart and business- minded . If you are not business- minded , we cannot roll because I am very business- minded and I can ’ t be with anybody who is clueless . You have to be business - minded and you have to be a go - getter for me to even be around you . ”
Uriel also opened up on her ordeal with body - shaming , especially from people on social media .
She said , “ I’ ve lost a lot of weight ; when I was a lot bigger , I used to get body -shamed , and now that I’ m losing weight people are telling me not to lose too much weight . ”
But the star has devised a means of blocking out internet bullies when it comes to body - shaming .
She said , “ If you ’ re not able to pay my bills and you ’ re not able to look after the simple necessities in my life, then why should your opinion matter in my life or about me?
“ So when it comes to body - shaming , it ’ s something that I really brush off and I tell everybody that ’ s been body - shamed to do the same thing but it ’ s very hard because not everybody reacts the same. ”
She also revealed that she has never contemplated going for surgeries and has nothing against those that do plastic surgery.
She further said asides working on her e -cook book titled ‘ The Modern African Woman ’ , she had other projects underway , which she would disclose in due time .
