Former BBNaija housemate, Queen Mercy Atang has recounted how she had fought hard to keep her friendship with Whitemoney.

The reality star took to her social media page to write a lengthy emotional note in which she described Whitemoney as the ‘fair skinned guy’ she had noticed on entering the house.

She had tried everything she could to strike up a relationship with Whitemoney and even had to stop flirting with other guys even apologizing to Whitemoney for sharing a kiiiss with Cross.

She revealed that she had been saving up money in the house in order to buy flowers and wine to apologize to him in a special way but her plans failed as she was evicted before carrying it out.

In her words:

“Days on I noticed another guy in the house🙈Light skin, well build, sexy tattoo on his body. @crossda_bossMy brothers and sisters your girl became Alice in the wonderland🤣In the garden pere, cross and I were chilling. And I quickly ask cross. But why haven’t I noticed you since I entered this house. I like fair guys and you’re fair🤣 pere said to me, chiaa this girl. I no sure say you dey okay.

Let me not use the exact word he called me🤣My stay in biggies was very fun and interesting. And I’m thankful I had one friend in the house who was there for me.Unfortunately along the line we had our little misunderstanding in the house. Which I quickly apologized for, I tried my best to make peace at all times we had issue.Yes I fought for our friendship because I was already used to playing, disturbing, teasing him etc.

I was very comfortable around him. Noticing my friend was giving another attention made me really really sad.. I can jealous sha🙈I can recall a particular Friday I kept to myself all through. That night I told cross and Pere to take care of me, I’m very light headed so I really don’t do much alcohol 🍺 but then I was ready to drink and get high. Because I was sad.Unfortunately that night. I and cross had our pool kiss. I was a little tipsy🙈I can recall this didn’t sit well with my dear friend, and occasionally he will always advise me to stop flirting with cross and other guys.. But then you’re doing your own thing what do you want me to do.Anyways I was obedient and I stopped.. and apologized to him because I didn’t want to loose our friendship. I was already too use him.I really wanted to apologize in a special way and say sorry. So I stopped using my Abeg Naira… I was saving up to get him flowers and wine and a card. I kept begging biggie for this.. I planned this surprised with nini and saga.I can recall one Saturday we were trying do our weekly buying and I refused to buy. I told him to shop for me. He said I don’t like stingy girls ooh Playfully.He had no idea I was trying to save enough Abeg Naira to shop for him🙈Unfortunately for me I was evicted🥺’

Kim Kardashian Accused Of Damaging Marilyn Monroe Dress At Met Gala: The private museum that owns an iconic dress worn by Marilyn Monroe allowed it to be “permanently damaged” when it lent it to reality star Kim Kardashian for her appearance at the Met Gala extravaganza last month, a Monroe memorabilia collector alleged Wednesday.

A platinum blonde Kardashian shined but also stirred controversy when she donned the stunning skintight gown Monroe wore in 1962 to sing “Happy Birthday, Mr President” to John F Kennedy.

Scott Fortner, a collector who runs a website dedicated entirely to Monroe, released before and after photos this week of the crystal-studded cream gown.

The after shots were taken by a friend of Fortner, who saw the dress on display Sunday at curiosity museum Ripley’s Believe It or Not! in Los Angeles, which owns the dress and had allowed Kardashian to wear it.

The comparison shots seem to show small tears in the fabric near hooks that fastened the dress together as well as missing crystals and others hanging by a thread.

The alleged damage to the gown, which Ripley’s bought at auction for a record $4.8 million, has drawn widespread criticism on social media in recent days.

In an update published to his Instagram account on Wednesday, Fortner specified that “I blame Ripley’s, as they allowed the dress to be worn.”

“I feel that any and every celebrity offered a chance to wear this garment very likely would jump at the opportunity,” he said. “There’s a reason someone would want to wear it. Kim K. just happened to be the one who got to do it.”

“It’s now permanently damaged, and likely would have been damaged regardless of who wore it,” Fortner said.

Asked by AFP about the accusations, Ripley did not respond Wednesday afternoon.

In early May, Ripley’s trumpeted the opportunity for Kardashian to wear the dress.

“Great care was taken to preserve this piece of history. With input from garment conservationists, appraisers, archivists, and insurance, the garment’s condition was top priority,” the company said.

Kardashian, who reportedly went on a major diet to be able to squeeze into the legendary garment, did not respond to the allegations on her social networks.
