- Beauty Tukura has broken her silence over allegations of being a bully in secondary school.
- The reality star denied the claims and her school claimed Beauty’s accuser wasn’t a student of theirs.
- Hours after Beauty’s denial, more alumni from her school have exposed her for truly being a bully and knowing her first accuser contrary to her school’s claims.
Mere hours after disqualified Big Brother Naija reality star, Beauty Tukura addressed claims that she was a bully in secondary school, alumni of her alma mater have reacted to it with fresh accusations.
Earlier in November, an X user simply identified as Ruby accused Beauty of “putting girls through hell” in secondary school.
Ruby said she was “bullied to the extent that I attempted suicide” and that she had to “deal with depression”. She wrote on X:
“Beauty Tukura put a lot of girls through hell in secondary school. When she was disqualified from BBNaija, we threw a party.”
“Do you know how horrible you have to be for people to come together and celebrate your downfall?
“I was battling abuse at home. Then I went to boarding school and had to deal with constantly being bullied.
“I was bullied to the extent that I attempted suicide. Recovered and came back to school, still got picked on for being depressed.”
However, in a statement shared via Instagram on Tuesday, November 22, Beauty refuted Ruby’s claims, adding that she is “against any form of bullying”.
The statement said an investigation was conducted to determine whether Ruby attended the secondary school where Beauty graduated from.
According to the statement, it was discovered that there was “no record” to prove that the X user ever attended the institution.
Beauty’s agency described the allegations as “malicious, baseless and completely lacking in truth”.
It read in part:
“This accusation was profoundly surprising to our client, who maintains a firm stance against any form of bullying.
“Consequently, in addressing the matter, we conducted a thorough investigation and verification with Our Client’s Alma mater, the American University of Nigeria Academy (AUN Academy) Adamawa State, Nigeria.
“To confirm whether or not Ruby Deborah Batubo was indeed a student. Upon conclusion of our investigation, it was discovered that there is no record of Ruby Deborah Batubo ever attending the aforementioned institution.
“Whilst we appreciate and recognise the commitment to oppose bullying and the courage to expose wrongdoers, whether from the past or present.
“It is regrettable that Ruby Deborah Batubo has chosen to engage in defamatory actions against Our Client. This was aimed at tarnishing her well-deserved reputation and successful career.
“We emphasize that these allegations against Our Client are not only malicious but also unequivocally baseless, completely lacking in truth, and, at best, mere products of Ruby Deborah Batubo’s imagination.
“As a law-abiding citizen who believes in due process, we affirm her unwavering commitment to rectifying this egregious situation and seeking due redress through all possible lawful channels.”
However, after the aforementioned statement was released, alumni from AUN academy confirmed Beauty and her accuser, Ruby were in the same set. Another former student gave her full name, asking Beauty to confirm she graduated from the school, while claiming the reality star is indeed a bully. See screenshot below:
