BBNaija's Angel Smith's Mother Breaks Silence on Daughter's Plan to Marry Girlfriend
The mother of former Big Brother Naija housemate Angel Smith has spoken out in defense of her daughter, who is facing significant public backlash for her plan to marry her girlfriend. This comes after the reality star recently shared pre-wedding pictures and videos online, announcing her upcoming white wedding with her female partner.
Mother Accepts 'Shameless Woman' Label
In a viral social media post, Angel Smith's mother addressed the criticism head-on, stating that she has accepted the label 'shameless woman' that people have given her due to her daughter's actions. She argued that the hate directed at both her and her daughter is unfair and unwarranted.
She further claimed that some other BBNaija housemates are involved with married men, yet they do not face similar scrutiny. According to her, her daughter is better than those who expose themselves on social media and then judge others. She urged critics to examine their own lives before attacking her daughter.
Fans Criticize Mother's Defense
Reactions to the mother's post have been largely negative, with fans dragging both her and Angel Smith online. Many labeled the mother as 'shameless' and a 'failed mother,' with some alleging she had her daughter out of wedlock, which they claim explains her inability to control her.
Comments from fans included:

Mother Challenges Critics and Highlights Daughter's Role
Angel Smith's mother also noted that her daughter is the breadwinner of the family and challenged her critics to become breadwinners for their own households. She called her critics fools and hypocrites, adding laughter emojis to her post to emphasize her point.
This defense has sparked further debate online, with many continuing to watch the developments around Angel Smith's wedding plans. The reality star had previously shared a sneak peek of her white wedding card while walking with a fan who criticized her, leading to more questions directed at her mother.
Background on Angel Smith's Recent Activities
Earlier, Angel Smith had expressed admiration for the music act Shallipopi, revealing that she campaigned for his release after he was detained by the EFCC. The singer, in turn, asked his fans to support and vote for her. This adds to the ongoing discussions about her public persona and relationships.
The controversy highlights the ongoing tensions in Nigerian society regarding same-sex relationships, with celebrities often at the center of such debates. As the wedding plans progress, more reactions are expected from both supporters and critics of the couple.
