  Hello and welcome back to an episode about Lorencia.
• 0:03
  How are you all doing up? You're doing great for today's
• 0:06
  episode. Don't talk about singer Simi.
• 0:08
  Simi is in hot waters. People are not letting Simi
• 0:12
  breathe because according to them, Simi, the double standards
• 0:19
  is too much. Now, Simi has always been very
• 0:23
  vocal on social media regarding women's rights, women's issues
• 0:30
  and some people can call her a feminist.
• 0:32
  And Simi has always maintained that yes, with her full chest
• 0:36
  that she's a feminist. Now, the current problem that
• 0:40
  she's going through started when a Tiktoker, Mirabelle, came out
• 0:46
  and lied about being sexually assaulted.
• 0:50
  She said somebody broke into her house on Sunday and took
• 0:54
  advantage of her and also caught her in her private areas.
• 0:59
  Now that went viral. A lot of people were calling for
• 1:02
  the heads of those who or the guy who actually did that to
• 1:07
  her. Simi also came out and said that
• 1:10
  no women should be, you know, RAPED that people men should
• 1:16
  stop RAP women. Now, when it then come out or
• 1:22
  when it was then revealed, or when the lady Mirabel confessed
• 1:26
  that she lied, people were expecting see me to say, listen,
• 1:32
  I was championing this 'cause maybe justice should take its
• 1:38
  full course. Because if she was lying about
• 1:40
  being sexually assaulted, then she should also face the the law
• 1:45
  because everybody was calling for the guy who did that to her
• 1:48
  to go to gaol. So a lot of all female
• 1:52
  celebrities were also saying that if she had lied, she should
• 1:56
  face the same gaol time as the person who maybe she accused did
• 2:05
  that to her. Simi went mute.
• 2:08
  Simi did not say anything. Twitter or ex warriors got
• 2:14
  angry. They started digging up tweets
• 2:18
  or yeah, then it was tweets from Simi's old account or her
• 2:23
  current account old tweet from over 10 years ago where she was
• 2:27
  tweeting. I mean she was sharing so many
• 2:33
  like cringe Walley tweets. Now the one that got people
• 2:40
  talking was see me talking about a four year old because her
• 2:45
  mother runs or used to run a daycare.
• 2:48
  So according to see me, the four year old was trying to, you
• 2:54
  know, sexually assault her. Simi was 23 at that time and the
• 2:59
  child was 4 year old, the toddler, if I may see.
• 3:03
  So one of the tweets or some of the tweets that she she shared
• 3:06
  was she said David, the four year old has a crush on me.
• 3:12
  He keeps coming close acting like he wants to lock lips and
• 3:17
  then he put his head on my lap. Should I give him a chance?
• 3:22
  PS he is 4. The next one that people called
• 3:29
  out she said I love to kiss the kids at my mom's daycare.
• 3:34
  They are super adorable and I am crazy about them.
• 3:39
  Another one she said why this 4 year old boy trying to put his
• 3:44
  hands inside my shirt or Benny wash ito damn.
• 3:55
  Another one says I wonder if anyone ever used breast milk to
• 4:00
  bake cake before now. I think the particular one that
• 4:06
  people are angry about was the four year old boy, which she
• 4:11
  said was trying to, you know, some do some things to her like
• 4:16
  a four year old. You know how 4 year old or
• 4:19
  children maybe you're on your phone and they come very close
• 4:23
  to you, just try trying to put their heads inside the phone.
• 4:28
  You know how kids are. That doesn't mean that the child
• 4:31
  wants to do anything with you. That doesn't mean that the
• 4:33
  child, I mean, kids are kids. You know, they're always going
• 4:38
  to be kids, especially when they see phones.
• 4:41
  Right now, kids are more used to phones, but I think then it was
• 4:45
  very new. So when they see phones, they
• 4:47
  want to see what is inside. They're very curious.
• 4:52
  Somebody had called that house on Twitter or on X at that time.
• 4:56
  And Simi said, well, because the person said this is a child,
• 5:00
  they don't know what they're doing.
• 5:02
  Like, why would you say such things about child a child?
• 5:07
  And she said that she is also a child.
• 5:09
  Simi was 23 at that time, so people were expecting Simi to
• 5:14
  come out and apologise. So Simi wrote a statement.
• 5:19
  She said that she had not been on Twitter for X for some time.
• 5:24
  She just woke up to log in and she's seen all the backlash.
• 5:27
  She said that had seen her actively deleting some of her
• 5:31
  tweets. They are actively deleting some
• 5:37
  of her tweets. She said she was 23 years old at
• 5:40
  that time, that everything that she tweeted was not out of
• 5:44
  perversion, but she was just tweeting every anything that
• 5:47
  came comes to her mind. People were now saying what if
• 5:52
  the reverse was the case? What if it was a man writing
• 5:56
  such thing about a girl child? They said Twitter or social
• 6:01
  media would have been on fire. But because she's a woman, I
• 6:06
  think that also got a whole lot of men angry because they
• 6:11
  started releasing more tweets, more messages, more
• 6:16
  communications from Simi's X account from 1011 years ago and
• 6:25
  they are cringe worthy. It is sad because people
• 6:31
  expected her to come out and say listen or make a video because
• 6:34
  that was what a whole lot of people are saying, that she
• 6:36
  should have just made a video to say, I am sorry, I am sorry.
• 6:40
  It was a different time. I was young, I was stupid, I
• 6:45
  just take responsibility. A whole lot of people now said,
• 6:49
  what if it was your child that that happened to?
• 6:52
  What would you say? Would you say, oh, they are just
• 6:54
  23 years old, my child is 4. They don't mean it now.
• 7:00
  A lot of guys who were actually sexually abused at 4536 started
• 7:11
  writing messages about women who actually took advantage of them.
• 7:18
  One of them is social media commentator Omic.
• 7:22
  He said he he made a video. He said listen this happens a
• 7:26
  lot and just because they are women, men don't talk about it.
• 7:31
  Now let me play that video for you to to hear what he has to
• 7:34
  say. See, me, I did not want to get
• 7:38
  involved in this whole situation because your husband is somebody
• 7:42
  I owe dearly. Very easygoing guy.
• 7:45
  But I have to because this is my job.
• 7:50
  I think you're a very bold woman, very strong woman, always
• 7:53
  coming out to speak against rape.
• 7:55
  Absolutely. Because you're not the only
• 7:56
  celebrity we have. And a lot of female celebrities
• 7:59
  will like either turn the blind eye, look away, but you boldly
• 8:02
  do it. Good.
• 8:04
  But accountability Luffy by DJ just coming out and apologising
• 8:10
  that what I said. I'm sorry you didn't.
• 8:13
  And now it's been going on for this.
• 8:15
  In fact, the same Arab girl. And now it has propelled into a
• 8:22
  bigger issue paedophilia. And whether you like it or not,
• 8:27
  even though I know this is more witch hunting than it is
• 8:30
  anything, the facts are there that these are your tweets.
• 8:34
  You did write these things. Yes, you were younger, but you
• 8:38
  were over 20 and you consistently wrote it.
• 8:41
  In fact, somebody warned you in the tweets that why would you
• 8:45
  say this about an underage? You said that the kid, a four
• 8:47
  year old, was sexualizing you. You wrote those things and
• 8:53
  instead of coming outside to apologise but she lagged me and
• 8:56
  this is where the issue is. What's because I don't know that
• 9:02
  they are witch hunting you. You have to understand that
• 9:07
  paedophilia, rape is just as big as it is on the feminine side as
• 9:11
  it is on the masculine side. I know you might not have even
• 9:14
  acted on those things you were just saying but it doesn't
• 9:17
  matter. This were your treats you want
• 9:19
  to call for sure you are me and your men in your Dominique and
• 9:25
  they look back at Jimmy. In fact, I speak to therapists
• 9:30
  today and they're like that's one of the reasons why I am very
• 9:33
  hypersexual. The next person that by the time
• 9:40
  I'm 6 and so that would do her thing and someone would have
• 9:46
  been at least 2839. I was 4 and so have a lot of men
• 9:51
  been abused as a child. In fact, if you don't believe me
• 9:55
  let's play in the comment section.
• 9:56
  As a man, most some of them are married.
• 9:59
  But I beg you if you can please comment in the comment section
• 10:02
  with the name of the woman that abused you.
• 10:04
  Most men were dis virgin played with as a child by an elderly
• 10:09
  woman. How about that?
• 10:10
  Let's check it in the comment section.
• 10:15
  Just like he said, this should not have like escalated to this
• 10:19
  level. If she had apologised, if she
• 10:21
  had taken accountability. They were her tweets, she wrote
• 10:26
  those messages. She was 23 years old.
• 10:29
  She wasn't 9, she wasn't 10, she wasn't even 13.
• 10:34
  She was 23. She was an adult talking about a
• 10:42
  four year old toddler. So she she should have come out
• 10:48
  full on her sword. Just say, listen, I have two
• 10:52
  kids. Then I was, you know, probably
• 10:56
  high on something. Just make it.
• 11:04
  I think the the the major challenge or what got people
• 11:11
  really angry was the fact that she said her team are actively
• 11:16
  deleting tweets. They were like, what?
• 11:22
  So it was that bad. See me come out, make a video,
• 11:32
  make an apology video is sincere.
• 11:35
  You are a mother. If somebody has had written that
• 11:40
  about your child, whether they were 13, whether they were 12,
• 11:47
  not to talk of 23, if it was a man writing that about your
• 11:53
  daughter, would you have come out and say, oh, my team are
• 11:59
  actively deleting tweets? You would have called for the
• 12:03
  head of that person. So come out and apologise.
• 12:07
  Apologise sincerely. Sincerely.
• 12:13
  Anyway, let me know what you think.
• 12:14
  Do you think that people are just witch haunting Simi or do
• 12:18
  you think that she went too far regardless, Yes, it was a decade
• 12:21
  ago but those were her words and she needs to take
• 12:27
  accountability. Let me know what you think.
