A young lady who claims to have been the girl who harassed fast-rising singer, Ruger on stage, has spoken up about the incident.
While a lot of people believe she isn’t the one who actually committed the act and only made a video for clout, the lady in a now viral video is heard saying she didn’t do what she did intentionally, and even if she did, she doesn’t see it as a crime.
She’s heard saying,
“I’m not saying I’m not sorry for what I did but I don’t like the fact that everybody will just be cursing at me.
I just hold something, I did not kill him. And if he’s angry that I hold his thing, he’s not a good artist. Why will he be angry that I hold his thing?
I did not even mean to hold his thing. I just wanted to embrace him but my hand just touched there. It was just a mistake probably. Nobody should curse me. Don’t curse me because if you’re in my shoes you will do the same thing. I saw something I said let me hold it, is it a bad thing? It was a mistake”.

Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive. My behavior at last night’s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable. Jokes at my expense are a part of the job, but a joke about Jada’s medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally.
I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness.
I would also like to apologize to the Academy, the producers of the show, all the attendees and everyone watching around the world. I would like to apologize to the Williams Family and my King Richard Family. I deeply regret that my behavior has stained what has been an otherwise gorgeous journey for all of us.

A blind psychic who correctly foretold both the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the 9/11 New York Al-Qaeda attacks, once claimed that President Vladimir Putin was to become “Lord of the World”.
Vanga grew up on a farm, in what is now Macedonia, and became blind after being dragged into a tornado when she was young, with her believers saying this accident was what gave her second sight.
Baba Vanga, also known as the Nostradamus of the Balkans, who died 25 years ago in 1996 aged 84, reportedly predicted in a 1979 interview that Russia was to dominate the world while also predicting World War Three and the potential use of nuclear weapons.
In a meeting with writer Valentin Sidorov, Vanga in 1979, BirminghamLive reported she said, “All will thaw, as if ice, only one remain untouched – Vladimir’s glory, glory of Russia. Too much it is brought in a victim. Nobody can stop Russia. All will be removed by her from the way and not only will be kept, but also becomes the lord of the world. ”
Vanga is believed to be good at predicting major events across the globe and it is claimed that during her 50-year career, she also predicted the Coronavirus pandemic, Chernobyl disaster in Ukraine in 1986 and the death of Princess Diana in 1997.
The psychic reportedly predicted the Covid outbreak ‘years ago’ when she warned: ‘The corona will be all over us. In 1989, she reportedly said of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Centre: ‘Horror, horror! The American brethren will fall after being attacked by the steel birds. The wolves will be howling in a bush, and innocent blood will be gushing.”
Vanga’s devoted followers say 85 per cent of her predictions are accurate, but experts say only 68 per cent are.
