Nigerian filmmaker, movie actress and reality TV star, Carolyna Hutchings has finally opened up on how she felt being replaced on the Real Housewives of Lagos by Tania Omotayo, a woman many say bears a striking resemblance to Carol and who many believe was brought in intentionally to replace her.
During her appearance on Mercy’s Menu, Carolyna Hutchings opened up about how she felt about it, and why she left the show.
The movie star said:
“To be sincere, I did say I wasn’t going to answer any question concerning that show so as not to promote them, but the reason why I left that show was because it was toxic for me, my family, and my kids. I’m an advocate for women empowerment and I feel like we live in an era where women are still trying their best to shatter the glass ceiling. If you look at the top 500 CEOs or even the economy, even in politics, it’s more favorable to men than the women. So if I’m going to be on a platform in an economy, in a society that still limits the potential of women, I want to be on a platform that encourages women’s potential. And I want to be on a platform that showcases their assets, not their flaws, and their capabilities in a positive light, not a negative light. That is one of the reasons why I left the show. It wasn’t showcasing me in a positive light, and it really wasn’t showcasing a lot of the women in a positive light. It was more about, come and sit down, abuse each other, call each other ridiculous names, talk about things that are unnecessary. I know it’s a reality TV show but I’m not for that type of reality show.”
On how Carolyna felt about her replacement, Tania Omotayo, she boasted about how no one can take her spot. She said:
“I am irreplaceable. Even if you bring in a billion and one women, you can’t get another me. You can’t have another me. It’s okay if they have 2 other cast on their show, it’s nice, they want to do great, I would always give them a round of applause. Whatever rocks their boat. But I can’t be replaced. Nowhere. I cannot be replaced anywhere, in acting, in reality TV, in my place of work, in relationships. I’m Queen Dr. Carolyna Hutchings. No one can take my spot.”
