Forgive me if I am bursting your little bubble, but Delay did not just leave TV3. TV3 suspended The Delay Show, leading to Delay’s subsequent departure from the television station. In case you were never aware of any of this, let me take you down memory lane to exactly what happened.
Wanlov Kubolor shows his nudity on The Delay Show
Delay made Wanlov Kubolor show his manhood during their interview which aired on TV3. She dared him to prove he truly never wears any underwear. Though the version of the interview that was aired on TV3 was censored to blur Wanlov’s manhood, an uncensored version was leaked on the internet later.
This spelt doom for Delay as her video of Wanlov Kubolor’s nudity went viral on the internet. The controversy led to false speculations that TV3 aired the uncensored version of the interview. Many trusted news platforms peddled the falsehood, which pushed TV3 to issue a statement suspending the show by taking it off air.
