Recall that the reality TV star was caught kissing Groovy inside a car a few days ago in Lagos. Uriel denied having any intimate relationship with Groovy implying that they were only having a harmless conversation.

Here's a video:


During an Instagram live session with popular OAP Daddy Freeze, the 34-year old addressed the rumor that she kissed Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson stating that they were only having a conversation.

She said that the blogs and the general public can keep pushing a false narrative but her happiness is more important than anything in the world.

She said people have called her a 70-year old woman because of her singleness asking her to go and get married. She said they go as far as sending her private messages and emails telling her that she may not be able to mother a child because of her age.

She said, "People come into my DMs, send me emails and say wicked stuff to me. The moment you see somebody trying to welcome something positive into their life, you troll that person for the same thing you've been trolling them about before."

Daddy Freeze advised Uriel that the way she can shut the internet trolls up is by trolling them in return. He said that's what he does and it works for him.

Uriel continued by saying ever since she came into the limelight in 2017, she has been trolled. She has been trolled for being single in her 30s without a kid. She has been trolled for being obese and she lost weight. She was trolled for having saggy boobs and she also followed a workout regimen for her to have perky breasts.

Addressing her relationship with Groovy, she said, "Isn't it better that I am in a fulfilling relationship regardless of the person? Isn't it better for a person that has been single and has been trolled for certain things that isn't beyond their control to find hope, love in a situation?"

Uriel expressed that it is better to be with someone younger than her and find companionship and peace of mind with that person. She said when she turns forty, it is the same internet trolls who will hurl insults on her for not having a partner.

She added, "I know who Uriel is. Uriel is a free spirit. Uriel is outspoken. I am a woman that has a huge heart. I'm a woman that won't allow stereotypes that have been created by society, especially Nigerian society that sometimes suppresses people.

I will not allow that to consume me or my happiness whether it's work, relationship, finances. I will not allow society to control the definition of "normal" in my life.
