The University named the socialite a brand ambassador weeks ago, much to the dismay of the public. They questioned how the University had the audacity to appoint a sex seller as a brand ambassador.
Rajiv however said that people should clear their mindsets about some things and avoid stereotyping.
He gave an example of American reality TV host Oprah Winfrey whom he likened to Bad Black.
“I made the decision to appoint Bad Black with the vice Chancellor and I own up that decision. I was however disappointed with people’s comments about her. She wants to reform and made it clear but people were so negative. Take an example of Oprah, she’s now a multibillion brand and everyone wants to dine with her but they don’t want to look at her story. Do you know how many women Oprah has inspired? How many women can be like Bad Black and stand up and talk about their past with such courage,” Rajiv Ruparelia said.
Social media was however quick to remind Rajiv that Oprah was not a public sex seller. She was just sexually abused, unlike Bad Black who is renowned for selling her body and is even proud about it.
After backlash from the public, the University tried to twist the story saying that Bad Black was only a student. They further said that as a student at the University, they made her their brand ambassador.
