Following the revelation she made about the circumstances of her birth, comedian, Helen Paul has admitted that she does not hate her dad for raping her mum.
Helen Paul said in a recent interview that she does not regret sharing the news of herself being born out of rape at the time she did. The comedian said, “I chose the occasion to reveal the story of my birth because I dedicated the degree to my mother.
There is time for everything and I felt it was time to tell the world. Apparently, it’s not even my story; it’s my mother’s. I am humbled and grateful to God for seeing me through the programme.
Everyone was happy for me in my family. Even when I finished secondary school, everyone was excited for me. We celebrate each other in my household.”
On her relationship with her father, Paul added, “I am on good terms with my father. Is there anyone who doesn’t have a cordial relationship with his or her father? That can only happen if you are a terrible child.
Regardless of what your father might have done to you in the past, your father remains your father.If I said I was not affected by it while growing up, that wouldn’t be honest. It could affect anyone but I used my situation to my advantage. It inspired me to always do more and be the best, instead of being depressed.”
