Nollywood actress and media personality Dorcas Shola Fapson, also known as Ms. DSF, shared an experience where a man refused to date her upon learning that she lost her mother during childhood.
She recounted how the man expressed his reluctance to date someone who wasn’t raised in a “two-parent household.”
Ms. DSF discussed this incident in the latest episode of the Bahd and Boujee Podcast, which is co-hosted by reality star Tolanibaj and actress Moet Abebe.
She said: “The most craziest thing that someone has ever said to me was when I told a guy that I lost my mum as a child and he said he could never date me.
“He said that he can’t date someone who wasn’t raised in a two-parent household. And I get that but could I have prevented my mum from dying? Is that my fault?”
One of the hosts, Moet Abebe, said she has had a similar experience.
“I can relate because someone has also told me that before. The reason was because he was also raised by a single parent. So, according to him, he didn’t want a child from someone with a similar upbringing. That was his excuse but I didn’t think it’s a reasonable excuse,” Abebe said.
