‘They Wanted To Make Me A Slay Queen,’ Babes Wodumo On PR Companies! After missing out on some of the biggest events and a few bad fashion choices, the nation wanted Babes Wodumo to find new PR company outside of WestInk.
Babes tried a few well known PR companies but it never got anywhere. Now she’s explaining why it didn’t work out saying it’s because she won’t be changed.
“There was always one underlying problem. Most of the PR companies that I have tried to work with wanted to change me. They wanted me to put in heels and for me to be someone I am not. So I would get fed up and told them no, if you can’t work with me as I am then leave me alone,” she told TshisaLIVE.
Babes says she would tell the PR companies that the person they were trying to create is not who she is. “This one time, I went onto TV looking horrible with ill-fitting clothes and people asked me what was going on. They were shocked because they could see I wasn’t even comfortable and it was all their fault,” she added.
“This other company even went a step further, telling me how to sit, how to talk, how to pose and to minimise my hand gestures. They wanted to turn me into a slay queen!
“There were also times where money went missing or just didn’t add up… I would ask the people that asked me to perform for payment and be told the management already accepted the money but I wouldn’t be notified.”
