A recently evicted Big Brother Naija housemate, Doris Okorie, has said she is fully prepared for controversies that may come with her career in the entertainment industry.
Speaking with Saturday Beats, she noted, “I have been in the spotlight since 2017, but now, after Big Brother, it has been heightened. I have watched my senior colleagues go through the process of handling controversies, and I feel like I am mentally ready. Even as far back as 2017, I was prepared for it, and now, I am more than ready to face it. In this industry, there will always be the good, the bad and the ugly.”
Doris, who had a background in acting and radio presenting before entering the house, revealed that she is returning to those roots while also expanding her creative pursuits. She said, “Before I came into the house, I was already in the entertainment space as an actor, radio presenter and voice actor. Now, I am going right back into those things and adding another feather to my hat as a producer. I will be producing film projects and pursuing other things I had planned.”
On the side of her that fans will be seeing in this new phase, she added, “As an actor, I have taken every role I was given. A few days before going into the house, I had just finished playing the role of a vulcaniser’s wife, and I had so much fun. I don’t think I’ll ever restrict myself to just one type of role. I am open to trying out all the crazy roles that come my way.”
When asked why fans seemed to connect with her during the show, she opined, “I feel like people see through genuine people. I didn’t go into the house to act or pretend. I went there to be myself, and viewers were able to see all the facets of me.”
