ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI – ‘Real Talk’ host Mrs Karia J. Christopher has revealed that she has had to deal with ‘despise’ from people, because of having a talk show in the Virgin Islands.

“How you could not like me… how?” Christopher rhetorically asked guest Bishop Ishmael P. Charles on the October 14, 2020, episode of her show.

Mrs Christopher said she only realised this ‘despise’ recently, adding that she believed everyone had liked her.

‘I don't get in anybody's affairs’ – Mrs Christopher

“I am one person who, I don't go to clubs, I don't get in anybody's affairs, I have one man [and] I don't go to anybody else’s man,” she said.

“So, when I heard, figure out…. that yeah, people actually don't like me, I didn't even know how to take it,” she told the Bishop. Mrs Christopher continued, “but now I recognise it, I accept it and I understand that that’s what it is,” she said.

In a previous edition of Real Talk, the host had indicated that she had political aspirations, later calling it a mistake to reveal those intentions to the public, following mixed public reactions.

Bishop Charles remarked that Mrs Christopher was the ‘Oprah’ of the VI, adding that she remains fascinating in their personal friendship.

    You are no different to the rest of us, who are being hated on and gossiped on by persons who have never even said hi or had a conversation with you! The goal is to keep pushing forward: because winners never QUIT! But QUITTERS NEVER WIN!

    People hate others just because they are breathing. A person does not have to do a thing for another to hate him or her.

    Here is another: Satan and his imps hate all who intend to serve God, who mind their own business and avoid the evil doers ... so, what is new? Satan and his imps even come straight up into your place, the more you run from them the more they follow you ... so, what is new?

      The most hated person who ever lived: Jesus.

      Don't get caught up in who don't like you. Pay attention on whether God is pleased with you. Check in with God everyday. Don't mix worldly ways with Godly ways like some people do.

      There are some who go for popularity and new age beliefs (promoting the evil eye, third eye, yoga, saging, etc.) to be relevant to people instead of pleasing God. As a public figure, NEVER compromise your Faith.

      Titus 2:11-12 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and Godly lives in the present age.

    You cant be serious! You really want everybody in the world to like you? No man! It aint that serious.

    This is how i see it. As long as you love you dont worry about who dont like you. You love you and thats it. I get your point being a public figure and all but there is more to life than wondering or worrying if people like you. Like i say it aint that serious. Bless!

    Well, I just think it is important, Mrs. Christopher, to continue walking uprightly, fear God and you love and be kind to all. The ruler of this sin sick world is Satan and his imps, so if everybody loves you, I would seriously worry about you and your faith. Satan attacks those trying to serve God in this wicked world and most of all don't forget what Jesus himself experienced when he walked this earth. They spat on him and he is the Messiah. So take heart my friend, once God loves you, that's all that matters.

    My take is be you Karia, if you really believe to yourself that you are better than people, by all means continue. However, dont think you can skin up your nose at people and still turn around and expect them to vote for you. Be true to yourself and continue to thrive.

    Asking such a question as a grown woman, makes me think that you're suffering from low self esteem.
    If everyone likes me I would have to worry because then I know something is wrong with me.
    I spent last Christmas on Anguilla with my best friend and I went to the grocery store one afternoon and saw a young lady walking (i was told she walks every day after work to keep fit) been doing so for year, she looks great, I thought she was in her late 30's, come to find out she had just turned 50.
    Her T. Shirt grabbed my attention.
    " Need new Haters, the old one's starting to like me".
    People will hate, just live with it.

    Is not becoming of someone who wants people to look up to them. Be more composed. Just a suggestion and when you greet people on the outside pretend to like them but hate them on the inside if you do not like them at all. The BVI community is small. Everyone knows one another. Remember that. Also, work out a bit pls

    Lady you looking for people to like you in this Territory? Are you kidding me? With all these haters? Do you suffer from low self esteem or just plain desperate for friends? Woman grow up, no matter where you are or who you are, not everyone is going to like you and if they do, something is wrong with you.
    I really don't care who like me, they don't pay my bills, feed me, clothed me nor give me the strength to get up every day to go and fend for myself.
    I don't want a sip of water nor a pint of blood from a man Jack nor a woman Jill, therefore I don't give to kicks who like me or not, that's their stress not mine, I love me, so is the man Christ Jesus .

    I find Mrs. Karia Christopher to be an exceptionally talented woman. Being a Talk Show host is her calling. I too have compared her to Oprah. I love her bubbly persona and interview approach. Her questions and discussions are always done in a tasteful manner. She is an awesome Virgin Islanders. I wish her well in her endeavor

Is it counted for Rigtheousness?.. this is what you should be concerned about and Whom you should be concerned about Karia..

Be your self and do not try to be oprah tou cannot get close to her. Ophra has brains, knows how to ask good and decent questions you need some training about 96 percent. So go and take a crash course on how to interview and not just ke ke ke on the show,

    People may say negative things, but personally i have nothing against Mrs. Christopher. She is career driven and very into her family. She does an awesome job on her talk shows. I however wanted to commend her on something, but the opportunity did not present itself right way. When the opportunity did come, somehow her "don't care to be bothered with you" facial expression threw me off. Therefore, it never happened.

    Don't know you well enough to not like you, but I do dislike your actions. You seem to roll with the who's in type, you are scared to offend for fear of not being in the IT crowd. I've been at events where you only engage in conversations of the who's who, and not mingle with the everyday joes. If you want a career in politics you will need to learn to mix with those who have and those who don't
