“My father screwed up” – Clarence Peters reveals why he won’t be the kind of man his dad Shina Peters was
Clarence Peters, the son of actress Clarion Chukwura and Shina Peters, has disclosed why he doesn’t try to be like his father.
During an interview on the WithChude podcast with media personality, Chude Jideonwo, Clarence Peters disclosed that his father’s past mistakes like how he treated women affected his romantic relationship.
The young musician said that his father “screwed up” by not doing enough to protect his celebrity mother, ace actress Clarion Chukwura, 60, who he said “was blackballed by his (Shina’s) colleagues”.
Clarence has disclosed that his father’s attitude towards women in the past has affected him that he is trying so hard not to follow his father’s steps.
Clarence Peters said:
“My dad screwed up, I mean using the word screwed up is me putting it lightly because his colleagues blackballed my mum and she was already dealing with a lot of trauma from when she was young.”
“In making ‘Inside Life’, I discovered some of the things I did not know. Episode 5 of ‘Inside Life’ is written by my cousin who went through that and so my mum went through the script and started crying because she also went through the same thing.
“We keep forgetting that it was a different time. My mum told me recently that he has been with women, drove some of amazing cars, stayed in the best houses, and hotels, and he has had money. He is approaching his 70s, death is certain because we are all going to die.
“All he can do now is pray to God to forgive him and that is all that he has and so we have had that conversation. My father has made mistakes that I have also made, so I can’t judge him. I can relate to the mistakes that my father has made.
“As much as I was raised by my mother, one of my greatest fears was not to be my father to the opposite sex. I have been a version of that, so I am not a saint. So I cannot judge him. I would like to but I am in the position to.”
