| Mark Angel and Emanuella |
Comedian Mark Angel has apologised over viral video of his
ward and child comedienne, Emanuella Samuel, which recently caused mixed
reactions on social media.
The video, which went viral on Thursday, showed the
comedienne in a black dress with high slit, which exposed her lap.
While some argued that she was too young to be posting
content like that, others considered the video to be acceptable and applauded
the comedienne for her growth.
Reacting to the backlash late Thursday, Angel apologised and noted
that the video was shared without his consent.
He wrote on his Instagram page, "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."
