Celebrity Chef, Hilda Baci Opens Up On Her Father Disowning Her At A Young Age And The Changes It Brought
Record-breaking celebrity chef, Hilda Effiong Bassey popularly known as Hilda Baci has opened up about her rocky relationship with her father and how he disowned her over the telephone.
The Guinness World Record holder revealed this in a recent interview on the Tea with Tay podcast. According to the 27-year-old, her only beef with her father, Effiong Bassey Edem, was his sudden absence in her life.
However, she reminisced about the presence of her father during her childhood days and his activeness in her life and that of her siblings before the sudden change, which resulted from a significant disagreement between him and her mother.
Her father’s abrupt abandonment, especially when she and her older brother were halfway through university, hurt her deeply, as the celebrity chef mentioned.
Hilda recalled a heartbreaking incident during a call with her father regarding school expenditures. To her surprise, he answered the phone and asked her, “Who is your dad?” disowning her at that moment.
She first believed her mother and father would reconcile, and he would return. Unfortunately, reconciliation never occurred.
The food enthusiast said her father’s abandonment inspired her to greatness. She claimed she organised the Guinness World Record cook-a-thon to make her father regret his actions and for personal development.
