August 08, (THEWILL) – Actress and realty TV star, Venita Akpofure, is giving her two cents as to why she thinks celebrity marriages do not last
In a recent interview, she said, “From my experience and from the experiences of other people close to me, it really is communication.
“We’re in an industry where everybody wants to be tough and everybody is taking influences from what they feel their relationships should be, based on social media, but a relationship is really a journey.
“We don’t communicate well when we are hurt and sad, dissatisfied, or unhappy and it’s common in the black community worldwide.”
While revealing the reason behind her participation in the Big Brother Reality TV show, Venita also gave some words of advice to the participants.
“I participated in the reality show because at that stage of my life, I wanted to be vulnerable for somebody else to see that it’s okay to fall apart and build yourself back.
“Our culture is very quick to shame, tell you why you don’t have, why you didn’t do, what you shouldn’t have done as a woman or as a wife.
“And for some of us, we may never get it right, which is okay. So, we just take it easy, be the best of you and keep pushing, that’s it.
“Knowing what I know, I will say that you cannot get another housemate that you can trust; your partnership can’t take you through today and you’re better off facing it on your own.
“Whatever you do, don’t shift to a sisterhood, to romance, and do not do man or woman relationships. Throw that one in the trash, it will end in tears and last last, everybody go chop breakfast.”
