I was not a secondary school bully ā Beauty Tukura
Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Beauty Tukura has been accused of bullying by her alleged secondary schoolmate, Ruby.
Earlier in November, an X user simply identified as Ruby, accused Beauty of āputting girls through hellā in secondary school.
Ruby said she was ābullied to the extent that I attempted suicideā and that she had to ādeal with depression.ā
She wrote on X: āBeauty Tukura put a lot of girls through hell in secondary school. When she was disqualified from BBNaija, we threw a party.
āDo you know how horrible you have to be for people to come together and celebrate your downfall?
āI was battling abuse at home. Then I went to boarding school and had to deal with constantly being bullied.
āI was bullied to the extent that I attempted suicide. Recovered and came back to school, still got picked on for being depressed.ā
However, in a statement shared via Instagram on Tuesday, November 22, Beauty refuted Rubyās claims, adding that she is āagainst any form of bullyingā.
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 āno recordā to prove that the X user ever attended the institution.
Beautyās agency described the allegations as āmalicious, baseless and completely lacking in truth.ā
The statement read in part: āThis accusation was profoundly surprising to our client, who maintains a firm stance against any form of bullying.
āConsequently, in addressing the matter, we conducted a thorough investigation and verification with Our Clientās Alma mater, the American University of Nigeria Academy (AUN Academy) Adamawa State, Nigeria.
āTo 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.
āWhilst we appreciate and recognise the commitment to oppose bullying and the courage to expose wrongdoers, whether from the past or present.
āIt 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.
āWe 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 Batuboās imagination.
āAs 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.ā
