Before
she recovers from one scandal or controversy, she is neck deep into
another. Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh seems not to be bothered by her
name being the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Recently she was
involved in a nasty altercation with a popular actor all because he
would not follow her out to smoke...
In
a recent interview culled from a celebrity blog, TD was asked why
people portray her as being controversial, hear her response:
‘Yes,
a lot of people say I am controversial. I can even say that about
myself. Tonto is that, Tonto is this, today Tonto is doing this,
tomorrow she is doing that. I can say categorically that I am verycontroversial
but why it’s like that is what I do not know. I think that Africans are
not all that exposed to a lot of daring acts and once you do that, you
become a very strange person to them. And before you know it, you have become a topic. It goes
on and on like that just because you have deviated from who they think
you’re. Just because you’re doing something different from what others
do, they will call you a lot of names, that’s just what I can say about
that’
when asked about her addiction to smoking and the implications on her health, the care-free actress replied:
‘I appreciate the fact that people are getting worried about that but why? Is it because I am Tonto Dikeh or because they love me and they want me to be in
good health? They’re two different things but I don’t care. I care only when you give reasons for talking about me smoking. I don’t think that should affect you, so far you’re not my brother or my sister. We are not from the same
family. My smoking habit doesn’t affect your life in any way. If I die tomorrow, you’re not going to bury me. My father has the money to bury me .So, why are they talking about it?

At least it’s good to know she has planned her own funeral in case her bad habit sends her to an early grave.
So sad!
