Olinda Chapel issues public apology

Olinda Chapel has issued a public apology acknowledging harmful words and actions directed at several individuals, including Kelsea Tafirenyika and Dyonne, taking full responsibility for her behavior.

In the statement titled “Public Apology,” Olinda said she publicly and sincerely apologized to Kelsea Tafirenyika for mentioning her by name and using offensive, disrespectful, and unacceptable language. She admitted to swearing and name calling and stated that there was “absolutely no justification” for her conduct.

Olinda said her behavior toward Kelsea was wrong and that she fully accepted responsibility for the harm caused. She expressed regret for the distress and disrespect she caused and asked Kelsea for forgiveness, offering what she described as her sincerest apology.

In the same statement, Olinda said the situation should serve as a lesson to others, emphasizing that no one should insult, defame, or disrespect others, whether publicly or privately. She noted that words have consequences and said she committed to learning from her mistake and acting with greater respect in the future.

The apology also addressed Dyonne directly, with Olinda stating that she was making a public apology with full accountability for her actions. She acknowledged using demeaning and insulting language toward Dyonne and said she spoke about her in a degrading manner.

Olinda further admitted that she spread false and misleading information about Dyonne, which she said damaged her character and reputation. She described these actions as unjustified and said they caused unnecessary pain and humiliation.

A significant part of the apology focused on Olinda’s involvement of Dyonne’s child. She admitted crossing what she called an “unforgivable boundary” by involving the child and attempting to interfere in Dyonne’s relationship with her child.

According to the statement, Olinda said she tried to control or influence how Dyonne’s child appeared on social media and suggested that the child should be kept away from her. She acknowledged that these actions were wrong and said no one has the right to interfere with a parent’s bond with their child.

Olinda also admitted to posting content involving Dyonne online without her consent, saying this violated Dyonne’s privacy and escalated a situation that should not have been made public. She said she failed to consider the emotional, psychological, and reputational impact of her actions on Dyonne, her child, and her family.

In her apology, Olinda stated that there was no excuse for her behavior and said she was ashamed that her actions reached that point. She apologized to Dyonne, her child, and loved ones, acknowledging that forgiveness may never come.

Olinda also clarified that the conflict was not about a man and said any suggestion or implication to that effect was false and unfair. She took responsibility for allowing misinformation and harmful narratives to spread.
