Roseline Afuwape, one of the two winners of the Ultimate Love reality TV show also known by her nickname ‘Rosie’ has opened up about overcoming depression which was influenced by fame.
In a recent interview, the reality tv star turned actress revealed how she became depressed after the show and became suicidal.
In her statement, Rosie recalled how it was her dad who saw her and saved her from taking her own life and stated the reason for her depression was because she saw her mother cry.
“I can remember that I was suicidal (after the show). It was my dad that found me when I was about to end my life.
“The reason is I saw my mum cry because he (Kachi, her ex-fiancé, and co-winner) was welcomed into our house. He was treated like a son, but he decided to pay us back with lies. My mother’s tears moved me. I never want to see my mother cry. It was even more painful because we were hurt deeply by someone we never did any wrong to. Seeing my mum cry made me suicidal.
“However, my dad came through and asked me why I wanted to end my life because of one person that was not worth anything to me again.”
Rosie also spoke about her reason for moving into the Nollywood industry, stating that she didn’t do it for fame but so that she could make a difference.
“I did not venture into Nollywood because of fame. I believe there are still many untold stories out there. I want to make a difference. Inasmuch as I am an actress, I am also looking forward to producing my own movies.”
