Evicted Big Brother Naija All Stars housemate, Doyin, has tendered a public apology to fellow contestant, Beauty Tukura, over her negative words.

This is coming days after Doyin was evicted from the ongoing reality show.

Taking to her Instagram story on Wednesday, Doyin said she came to realise that her comments about Beauty were wrong.

She noted that her post was to make the apology public, just as the negative statements were made in public.

“I have been doing some soul-searching since I left the house, and I realise the gravity of my actions. I want you to know that I never intended to hurt you, and I’m devastated that my words had such a negative impact on our friendship.

“You mean a lot to me and I value our friendship a lot. It’s painful to think that my behaviour has put that friendship at risk, and I want you to understand that I take full responsibility for my actions and I’m committed to making amends.

“I genuinely care about you and our friendship and I’m willing to invest the time and effort required to mend what has been broken.

“Once again, I hope that you recognise that publicly I have offended you and publicly I am saying. I am genuinely sorry @beautyetukura and I do love you very much.”
