Popular comedienne Helen Paul reminisces about how her boss tried to dissuade her husband, Femi Bamisile, from marrying her.
The comedian discussed the obstacles she encountered during her courtship in the latest episode of The Honest Bunch Podcast, co-hosted by actor Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, aka Nedu.
At 45 years old, she shared that while working at Television Continental (TVC), her human resources personnel criticized Bamise for deciding to marry her.
Additionally, she mentioned that another boss questioned whether Bamisile was dating her or if their relationship was just for amusement.
“My boss called my husband and said, ‘Femi, is it that kind of Helen you want to date? You are more than that. But if you want to just enjoy yourself with her, it’s okay oh!’”
“I took Femi to my office then in TVC, my HR manager looked at Femi and said, ‘Look at how clean you are, a lawyer. Why the choice of Helen?’”
Paul and Bamisile tied the knot in 2010.
