One of Ghana’s representatives for the Big Brother Amplified reality show, Confidence Haugen has shrugged off suggestions that her reaction when evicted from the House was a reflection of how desperately she needed the $200,000 at stake
Some commentators have described Confidence’s declaration of “Good, I’m out of this place. I’m done with you guys…” as a face saving gesture after her eviction. Quite uncharacteristic of other evictees, Confidence headed straight for the exits, declining to hug and share a word or two with the other Housemates until perhaps her closest friend, Weza, ran to hug her.
Speaking to Katleho Khabele, co-host of the Citi Drive on Monday June 13, 2011 a day after her eviction, the Aphrodisiac night club owner said she was not bothered by the lost opportunity to win free cash, insisting money was not her motivation for going into the contest. For her, it was for the exposure the show came with.
“I wanted to show that we have fabulous people in Africa just like the Kimora Lee Simonses and Kardashians; that there are hard working fabulous women in Ghana. I don’t need the money. It’s really about the exposure for me as a business woman”.
The 37 year old said she was voted out of the House because she was seen as a threat by the other housemates and not because she was rude, bossy or boring as some viewers have suggested.
“I am a friendly person, however it is easier to be friendly to people who are genuine. Those people in the Big Brother house are not genuine. It is just a game for them. I tried to be real and open with all the members.”
Confidence had been nominated three times since the inception of this year’s Big Brother six weeks ago but although she survived the first two, Africa voted not to save her this time. She thus misses out on the $200,000 prize money.
She added that she was grateful for the love and support shown by her country folk and the rest of Africa, and promised to continue being a role model for hardworking Ghanaian women.
With the vivacious Confidence out of the house, Ghanaian viewers will now concentrate their attention on Ghana’s remaining representative, the smooth-talking Alex, who as Head of House in the Tails section replaced himself with Karen, to hold the fort until the grand finale.
She is expected back into the country on Wednesday evening and address the press on Thursday June 16, 2011.

@paapa jay, the question we should be askin is, how old are u??? u sound way too lame and silly to be a grown up……chale go read your nursery rhymes wai………
@Opanin, ????….hehehehe……Men
I feel She makes sense when She says it was all about the exposure that came with the show.Atleast her club has been advertised and networking wouldn’t be a problem.
@Adjoa nbaaso), RIGHTLY SAID ADJOA…@ least one person here is talking SENSE
@Adjoa nbaaso), my dear forget…i knw ppl close to her and i can tell u she needed that money.not all that glitters is gold o…..the lady said it herself, she’ll do anythin for money..on her first interview wit IK when the show was opened, she said dat amongst other reasons, the money was also a factor and i quote her “…..and the money too cos as u knw, money is the root of all evil”…..
@Opanin, she needed the money girl is just twisting her lips because she didn’t win or expected to be out that soon
@Miyagi, exactly bro……..jst cos she’s out she wants it to look she didn’t need the money..forget her………….
@Adjoa nbaaso), Then she did one heck of an advertisement showing off her stretch marked fake boobs. That was over the top. But seriously she would have liked it if she had won. No two ways about that.
@Adjoa nbaaso), i think she meant exposure in Prostitution if u dont know.
WTF is wrong wit ghs n dere mentality???..so damn bigoted self righteous ppl.. beyonce,lady gaga,lil kim al. show ther butts n boobs bt theyre still hailed as role models..all ye who is holy shld cast the first stone..im so tired of gh hypocrite bullshit…look sum r wankin off @ those boobs.i tell u..mtcheeeew
@ThickMama, u tired of Gh hypocrite bullshit??? are we holdin u down here or u’ve been tied to a pole…..if u’re tired leave…who needs u sef……
@ThickMama, Ghanaians and Africans in general have a higher moral standard, especially when it comes to nudity. Our mentality is not up there with the Americans and Europeans, where nudity is acceptable or where a woman plasters something on her nipples and walks around thinking she’s not naked.
If Confidence wants to be a role-model, then she has to make sure her behavior and way of thinking aligns with the people she wants to be a role-model to. I don’t have a problem with her showing her goodies…she has the body and can flaunt it all she wants. But I wouldn’t want any girls in Ghana thinking that is a model behavior. NOPE.
@ThickMama,
Everybody has the right to say who’s their role model and who’s not. so please stop insulting each other. not good.
@Opanyin…so wats ur prob?..i made a comment n said my opinion…well obviously it seems u fall in one of d categories i mentiond..if not y r u respondin???…
@ThickMama, i also made ma comment and said ma opinion….i only said and i repeat…if u’re tired of GH hypocrite bullshit, leave!!!!!! who dey hold u???………
ghanains have a problem ! if you people here think you are HOLY ,you are not ,why are you making every ghanain a saint ,so leave CONFI ALONE !
CONSIDER YOURSELF AS HOLY AND FUCK IN THE DARK !
@27 calibre, thats very typical of majority of Ghanaians. they will be like, “oh thats so wrong and all that…….. but who knows? what they do might even be worse.
@B.B, u see when u steal in your own home, it doesn’t come out. it is hushed but when u steal outside, u bring disgrace to ur family……..jst as some of the viewers were complaining abt Bhoke and her romantic involvement wit Ernest, others will also question some of Confis behaviour…..
it been very interesting reading the comments keep them coming lol
whether you did want the money or not, you are out of the game so shush.
@Aduomi..i aint saying watever she did was ryt..n incase u dnt knw..d very girls ure trying to protect r d same ones who wen asked r goin to mention diff thins altogeda..mind u dey r nt dat dumb!!.twenty century kids r damn smart they will tell u one tin n do d oposite.. besides wat did u xpect her to say??..
@ThickMama,
I understand what you’re saying. It is true that girls of today will do crazy and indecent things without Confidence’s help. I expected her to say a lot of things but not wanting to be a “role-model.” By saying that, she’s saying it is okay for girls to showcase their body to the world. She has to understand that she is now a public figure and believe it or not, there are some girls out there looking up to her and that the public will hold her accountable for what she says and does. She should not be a role-model, nor should she say she wants to be one. Kim Kardashian got on the scene through a sextape. I wouldn’t want my daughter “Kim Kardashianing” her way up or “Confidencing” her way up. And Kim K, as far as I know, has never proclaimed herself to be a role-model (I could be wrong, of course).
@ThickMama, and I forgot to add, that again, our Ghanaian culture is much much different from that of the Western world. Not everything that is accepted in America should be accepted in Ghana or any part of the world. When we start emulating someone else’s culture to such an extent, we lose ourselves and we lose our own RICH culture. I really do condemn BBA in general and not just Confidence. I know we have to advance with the rest of the world. But we can do that perfectly without compromising our beliefs
@Aduomi, Thank you my brother or sister, best sensible comment so far..
i like Confidence but i don’t think her reaction when evicted was really professional. she acted like she was really bother and she was so rude, she put me of with that bitchy attitude she put on stage.overall, she seems to be a very nice person.
ghanaians are such hypocrites i know a woman should respect herself. and anywoman that want to do whatever she likes can do it. In Ghana they will look weird at you when youre kissing with youre lover or holding hands in public, the ghanaian old women feel intimidated when they see a young beautifull woman dressing verry nice and sexy to the extend that they tell them ooh my daughter its to revealing. and what has brought this theire judgemental behaviour nothing, all this konkonsa women that keep judging the socalled bad women happen to be less succesfull than the bad women, cause these socalled holly virgin women have been walked over by men, most of them are not independed succesfull buisnesswomen. what do you gain of being so judgemental.
@sarah, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeenty words but nothing sensible…waste of space….go to twitter………
@Opanin,
@Opanin, hahahahhahaha
@sarah, this is very unsensible talk coming from a lady. Are u a Ghanain? I don’t think so? This comment is very insulting to the odinary Ghanain woman. All ghanain gals were brought up in a way that teaches the gud values of Africa. u cannot tell me that exposing ur body in public is what you got by leaving in the western world. You have to bow ur head in shame for that comment.
@Aduomi…yep..all dat n more..bt tell me what uve done personally to deal wit iturself??…see nufin!!..everywer is erodin gradually as sum skool of thot belive were in d last days..moral decay is everywher..bt u hve to deal wit urs n live ur life d way u see fit n besides if sumone wishes to be role model its up to whoever dat decides to look up to role models to choose who they wnt to ff.d decisions nt urs to make..judge not
@ThickMama, Girl lol I’m trying to do a whole lot about it. But I can’t reach out to everybody in the world. However, the few that I can get to right now, I’m definitely doing that I can. My major in college is solely based on this…hoping to one day help our Ghanaian youth learn the value of their own culture and how uniquely beautiful it is. So you can’t say I’m doing nothing. I’m doing something and that’s why I wish other people, especially Confidence and others who can reach out to the masses more than I can, would set a better example for our youth that’s all. And no I won’t follow my child everywhere, but I’d hope that what I can teach them at home will be a stepping stone for when they go out there in the world. Not all girls have that kind of parental guidance where their parents are in their lives and doing their best to guide them until they come of age. It is those girls I worry about. And in general, it is girls that are easily swayed that I’m worried about. What Confidence did was POSSIBLY try to use her nakedness to get ahead. And even if I can’t stop all the tribulations that comes my child’s way, I definitely can tell her that her body is not a tool. That showing her goodies to the world won’t necessarily make a guy like her or a girl hate her. That people will judge her based on her actions and if she wants to be respected by others, she will need to respect herself first, love herself first and take pride in herself no matter what culture she identifies with. If I teach my child all that and she chooses a different path, then what can I do? I’d rather she CHOOSES that path (whether good or bad) for herself not be swayed by the likes of Kim K and Confidence. But not every girl is that strong…that’s all I’m saying. I’m allowed to give my two cents and I’m only doing so by what I’ve seen and heard and nothing farther. And telling me not to judge might be a bit hypocritical on your part (no disrespect) because we all do it. It’s simply part of human nature.
@Aduomi…yep teach d child d way he shld go so…u alrdy knw d rest..bt here lies d case r u gon to ff them everywer dey go??..or is culture goin to save dem wen dey face trials??..u myt do ur best bt for all u knw she alredy “confidenced or kardiashaned” up d ladder…wen u find out u ll b so disappointd..so teach her everytin abt life ..yes includin sex..bcos d day her boss will decide to triple her pay or fire her ..she wnt cum runnin to u..
@Adoumi N d last part i meant teach her nt jst culture so wen she faces trials she knws how to handle em…its a big bad world…lol
@Akosua…no insults…jst made my comment..bt havin a fair openminded argument..
U GHANAIANS WILL ALWAYS BE STUPID AND FOOLISH,,,,,,,WHY ARE U ALL JEALOUS OF CONFIDENCE?

@NANGOLO, thank you……….datz wat av been tryn to say all those hypocrates
@NANGOLO, I don’t know why you people see it as an issue just because people want to express their opinions. Imagine a world where EVERYONE AGREES WITH WHAT THE OTHER DOES! Yes, it’ll be a very bland world. Come state your opinion and leave it at that. Sheesh!
@NANGOLO,if u say u are from south africa..have u seen any south africa girl show her breast to the world..u know Abby of SA and others…there never do that…Cheris makubale,,,thats the first winner of BBA..she was so decent and out spoken and interesting…she never do all that…shes now an ambasador to Africa…How can a shamful girl like Confie says hes a role model of africa…..u stupid ass hole…do u know the kind of ppl living in africa…decent women i mean….Confie will never be a Role Model to even a dog and talk of africa…get the fuck up and shot ur mouth
@NANGOLO, and in your rationale self, u state dat u’re from southern africa……dats not a country fool….or u mean u’re from all the countries down south??idiot. the fact that u like her and she’s one of your favorites doesn’t mean i or anybody who feels otherwise should…she did well, wht did she do?? she neva sold Ghana to the world………she rather sold champagne………..
@Aduomi…hpe u pass out successfully..yep i knw its natural to judge bt it can b controld jst lyk others..mine is on minimum..tryin to get it to d barest..ok..u doin sumfin..bt whn ure done skool n start work its very diffrnt..n its frustratin.hpe u teach em positive n logic stuff on culture to lure em in.u hve a big n hard task.dnt envy u one bit!!.. but ok uve made u point n ive made mine…still agree to disagree on dis one….wish u well…
@ThickMama, Thank you =). I’ll try my best. Thank you for having a civilized discussion with me. Learned a lot from your perspective…hopefully, you learned some from my end.
i’ve come to respect confidence so much that it shocks me…considering the fact that i never liked her >…. I love her so much now
@kojo, how????????????????????
@Opanin, Opanin you dont have a life must u also keep replying when somebody disagree. You are a man and yet you dont have anything better to do than to be 24/7 on gossipsites and bashing confidence just cause she showed her goodies on tv she wasnt the only one plus it was shower hour, its the vip members that have acces to those vids. if youre in that house you want to be free, you cant be bathing with bikini all the time. youll forget yourself its like prison. i bet you got rejected by confidence. i bet youre lying that you have a girlfriend. cause no woman wants a judgemental freak
@sarah, wow, i’m impressed……so u can talk sense?i’m shocked…..i can’t and will never be rejected by Confidence,even Ayigbe Edem got his way with her………..the only gossip site or blog i contribute on is Ghanacelebrities.com……..u must be very dumb cos i’ve stated here over and over again wht i do….don’t u also have anythin better to do???? i’m an IS Professional and ma job means i have to be on the net to kip me updated on technology….i knw none of dis makes sense to u bt don’t worry,get a learned person to xplain it to u wai…i make ma greens and i leave very comfortably……..u digg
@kojo,same here……didnt like her before but now i can proudly say,i love her!!!…..haters should go burn the ocean!
i was so happy when she was ask to leave the house. It think she lasted too long a time in that house. As for the money, she really needed it to feed her “keeping up with appearances” life style. Talking about role model i don’t think she knows what she was talking about. A role model does not sleep with her workers (both females and males). Thank god she was evited to save the face of Ghana.
@Aduomi…yep thx too..got a new perspective @ ppl behaviours esp gh.s…lol
All dose insulting confi shud shut dier beaks! We all knw wat she did wasn’t gud nd afterall itz past tense nd we should jst leave it behind.
