Actress Laide Bakare Faces Backlash For Introducing 17-Year-Old Daughter To Clubbing, Alcohol

Actress Laide Bakare has faced significant backlash after revealing that she introduced her 17-year-old daughter, Simisola, to clubbing and alcohol.

In a recent interview, she stated that she took pride in being the first to show her daughter nightlife experiences, hoping her daughter would remember her as the one who introduced her to alcohol and clubbing.

Bakare explained that she preferred exposing her daughter to these experiences herself rather than having her learn about them from strangers or peers, believing it would foster an open and honest relationship.

This disclosure sparked mixed reactions. Many critics condemned the decision as reckless parenting, arguing that at 17, a teenager should primarily receive guidance and discipline rather than exposure to nightlife and drinking.

Some social media users described it as poor judgment and an inappropriate example for a mother.

However, some supporters defended Bakare’s approach, suggesting that it might prevent her daughter from engaging in riskier behaviors unknowingly by peers and help maintain open communication between them.

The controversy highlights the broader debate on at what age and how parents should introduce their children to adult social experiences like alcohol and clubbing.
