Abuse from family members
Reflecting on her family life, Alex unusual recalled a distressing moment when she was harshly punished for giving clean water to her aunt’s pigs during a holiday visit.
Accused of “intentionally trying to kill the pigs,” she was lashed for her actions.
“How in the name of the Lord am I supposed to fetch dirty water for something that is living?”
she questioned.
Bullying and false accusations in school
During her secondary school years, Alex faced relentless bullying, with peers labeling her a thief and portraying her as rebellious. She recounted a particularly painful experience where she became the target of a mob after being falsely accused of stealing a classmate’s provisions.
“They punished me all night, so when something went missing the next day, I was the first one they blamed. I’m not a good liar; when a friend wronged me, I hid her provisions but returned them after she calmed down. They twisted the story to say it was me who stole them,”
she explained.
Additionally, she shared a troubling account of being assaulted by classmates who accused her of eating biscuits in class.
“I entered the classroom to find everyone outside, only to be beaten when I walked in. They demanded to know which biscuit I had eaten, but I hadn’t eaten anything all day. They claimed someone saw me, and when they found another student’s provisions in my locker, they attacked me. I called my mother to tell her I was innocent,”
she recalled.
Despite enduring such trauma, Alex demonstrated remarkable resilience and ultimately achieved success as a reality TV star, model, actress, and brand influencer.
