In a story that has taken social media by storm, a Nigerian TikTok user, known by the handle @titiniyii, has shared her harrowing experience working as a personal assistant for a high-profile celebrity. The video has sparked widespread discussions about the treatment of staff by public figures and the stark contrast between their public personas and private behavior.
The TikTok user revealed that she resigned from her position after just three days due to the mistreatment of staff by the unnamed celebrity. In her words, “My life is so private that nobody knew I once worked as a PA for a celebrity and resigned after only working for three days when I saw how all your favourite celebrities treat their staff like they aren’t humans but put on innocent faces when they are around their fans.”
She described witnessing incidents that left her deeply uncomfortable, including the celebrity’s driver being slapped. The driver reportedly quit his job shortly after she left, citing similar reasons for his departure. Reflecting on her decision to take the job, she said, “Me taking the job was to be a plus in building my resume. Omo ehn, it is well.”
The video has garnered significant attention, with many netizens expressing shock and sharing their own experiences of working with celebrities. Some users praised her courage for speaking out, while others criticized the unnamed celebrity for their alleged behavior. One commenter wrote, “This is why I don’t idolize celebrities. You never know what happens behind closed doors.”
Fame and fortune do not excuse poor behavior. As one commenter put it, “Respect is a two-way street. No amount of money or status should justify treating people poorly.”
