Angel Smith participated in the 2021 Big Brother Naija edition.
In a newly released episode of her podcast, ‘Of Blood, Bones and Water’, Angel Smith recounted some of her life struggles and how she was able to overcome them.
The author stated during the podcast that she was homeless for a while after her partner.
The reality star had this to say,
“It was inspired by struggle and silence. I struggled so much growing up, and I said it while in BBN; from self-harm to sexual assault, physical assault, the death of my boyfriend and homelessness because I had left home.”

Smith added,
“It felt like the universe was taunting me, and I went through all that while having a social media presence that seemed jovial.
“That was because I was silent. Sometimes, people judge one for always being sad. So, people choose to struggle in silence. I started the podcast to normalise vulnerability. I want people to feel safe in their vulnerability.”
Angel Smith Explains Why It’s Hard To Leave Abusive Relationships
In the latter part of the session, the Nigerian reality star spoke about abusive relationships.
Advising individuals in abusive romantic relationships, she said,
“I always roll my eyes whenever I hear people telling persons in abusive relationships to leave. Some people leave, and their abusive partners kill them; so, it is not easy to leave. There are many factors to consider and truthfully, I don’t know the right approach.
“For people in such situations, they should reach out to their friends, family members, therapists, or anyone that can help them. They should make sure that they are always surrounded by people. They should also ensure that they are never alone with their abusers.
Also, they should tell people close to them that if anything happens to them, they should hold their abusers responsible.”
