'I'm scared of men' - Angel Smith says; defends her statement

Former Big Brother Naija All Stars housemate Angel Smith received both love and criticism for discussing her relationships and sharing her fear of males in a recent Instagram live video.

The reality star received criticism for her remarks while being in a relationship, which encouraged her to defend and explain her viewpoint.

Smith explained that her dread of males stems from the innate terror that many women feel.

She made a distinction between guys strolling around easily at night and the intense anxiety that many women experience when they are left alone after dark. Smith said that many women have similar fears, and that it is a fact that women are afraid of men.

Smith discussed her previous relationships during the live session, acknowledging that she has dated people who she thought were "idiots."

She expressed gratitude for having found someone who gets her, praising her current companion, Soma, as the first rational and really nice guy she had met.

Smith retaliated to criticism that her celebrity status influenced her dating decisions by saying that the people advising her now would probably be the same ones pushing for a marriage when she is older.

She criticized the prejudice and double standards that celebrities frequently experience in their private life.
