Bakare had already been criticised online after a video of her saying that she had taken her daughter to clubs and given her drink went viral.
The actress said in a new video on her Instagram page that she never gave her daughter drink and that what she said before was just a "slip of the tongue."
‘I haven't been able to focus since this morning because of the claims that I gave my teenage daughter Similoluwa drink. Since then, my phone has been ringing. Since she is underage, she doesn't drink. "I took her to the club, but we didn't drink," Bakare said.
She also said she was sorry for the mistake because she didn't know she had said she gave her daughter alcohol in the interview. "I forgot that I told them in the interview that I gave her alcohol." It was a slip of the tongue. I'm sorry to Simi and the parents who think that step was wrong. That's why it takes me a while to give talks. "I'm sorry about the mistake," she said.
Since she said she was sorry, her comment section has been calm, with friends and well-wishers praising her for owning up to her mistake and making things right.
