Actress Katherine Obiang has revealed that she once felt an erection from her dad when she hugged him as a child.
The Lekki Wives actress said this on the latest episode of Jasiri show on News Central while weighing in her thoughts on the controversy around filmmaker Kunle Afolayan’s dance with his daughter Eyiyemi.
The dance video, posted by Eyiyemi on her Instagram account on Monday sparked reactions as many tagged their actions as ‘inappropriate’ due to how Kunle held his daughter while dancing.
Speaking on the matter, Katherine who condemned the dance said: “Suppose as he was dancing with his daughter like that and had an erection what would happen? Because it’s normal na, he is a man.
“When we were younger we used to go to my dad’s room to play but in the morning when you want to give your dad a hug because you love how he smells, I felt an erection and I arranged myself and that was the last time because I released at that point that play time is over. I didn’t need to be schooled about that.”
Countering Katherine Obiang, fellow actress and media personality Omotunde Adebowale, popularly known as Lolo 1, who was one of the co-hosts said: “Do you know that if honestly this just happened in the moment, we as a society, we have damaged that girl and made her begin to see what is not there. My dad used to put me on his leg and allow us to blow bubbles.”
Katherine used to be married to media personality Frank Edoho. They separated in 2011 and ended their union in 2013.
