Sheilah Gashumba, the socialite and media personality, has opened up about her strained relationship with her father, Frank Gashumba, following the leak of intimate videos last year.
The scandal not only rocked the internet but also deepened the divide between father and daughter.
Sheilah, known for her vibrant presence in the media, disclosed that she hasn’t spoken to her father since July of the previous year, highlighting the severity of their fallout. ““I haven’t talked to my father since July. Well, I remember when my videos came out, he called me fuming. And I didn’t know what I had done wrong because my phone was hacked and that’s how the videos came out. It was only my mother who consoled me,” she said.
The leaked videos, which featured Sheilah and her boyfriend Rickman, exacerbated the already fragile relationship between her and her father.
Recalling the aftermath of the leaked videos, Sheilah revealed that her father called her in a fit of rage, expressing his disbelief and anger over the situation. Despite her attempts to explain that her phone was hacked and her Snapchat compromised, Frank’s disappointment only added to the distress she was experiencing.
While Sheilah’s mother provided solace during this tumultuous period, her father’s reaction underscored the complexities of their relationship. Despite Frank’s past support and provision of resources for Sheilah’s endeavors, including her career in media, tensions between them have intensified as she embraced a lifestyle that diverged from his expectations.
