Cindy strikes back! Refutes asking inappropriate questions

Cindy Rosan

Media personality, Cindy Rosan, has shot back at critics over questions she directed towards Premier Dr Natalio Wheatley at a recent press conference.

Rosan requested information about recent government hires — some of whom are expatriates — and asked Premier Wheatley to address allegations of inappropriate relations with two of them.

Premier Wheatley, after responding to some of the questions, said Rosan’s last question about the allegations was inappropriate and suggested the question was based on ‘reckless rumours’.

However, the Premier has thus far not categorically denied having any inappropriate relations with any of the persons mentioned.

While appearing in a social media video yesterday, Rosan suggested that she was contacted about her line of questioning to the Premier and chided for being out of line.

But Rosan defended her questions, arguing that they were par for the course and said it should be expected of journalists who seek to hold elected officials accountable.

“My question to the Premier was not personal, it was about our office, and if you are using our office for favours,” Rosan said.

“There is nothing inappropriate about my question,” she continued. “There is no time and place for such a question. Given all that we have gone through, especially again in the last year, we have to hold the pride of the BVI up high and we have to be able to question those that we have put in leadership comfortably.”

In the meantime, the Rosan also suggested that some of the criticisms may have come from the fact that persons did not have the full context of her line of questioning and were based on ’sound bites’ and short video clips of her exchange with the Premier instead.

“A video was shared with my last question to the Premier, and it gave off the effect or the misrepresentation that I, just out of the blue, asked the Premier about his personal life,” Rosan said.

Rosan argued that even though she does not care about the Premier’s personal life, Premier Wheatley sits in an official capacity and residents should be concerned about everything that he does both in the professional and personal aspects of his life and how these actions ultimately reflect on the territory. 

She said her questions about the government hires to the Premier at a previous press conference and her subsequent queries to the Government Information Services (GIS) staff, Governor’s Office and government HR department were unfruitful and she was ‘ignored’.

    Having the ghuts or balls to speak out doesn’t make you strong and effective in every situation. Sometimes one must think clearly and progress in a manner that is not demeaning to one’s self or others. It’s not because people egging this person on with her information she must come forward in such distasteful and ugly manner. We sure don’t need this type of Individual representing anyone much less Women in the House of Assembly. She needs to stop being vendictive and try being informative and supportive of her views in relevance to the Community.

    She is a pa***ite in this community now! Empty barrel making useless noise! She needs to just go away from the public space. She is never wrong and continues to double down on her ignorance. Just a n***y piece of work abba thinks it is funny and gloats in her venom.

    Cindy needs prayer. We will continue to pray for you to get the emotional and mental support you need.

    My advice is the public does not need to hear who anyone is mingling with. This is a small community and everyone knows everyone’s business for the most part.

    If you need to confirm it for the record about someone’s personal life go see them personally and ask the question.

    The question was inappropriate for the setting. PERIODT!!!!

    She need to snuggle herself in the roost side by side with Wiglox and self appointed his holiness Bisop
    An embarrassing public nuisance to the BVI and BVIslanders.

    You obviously don’t have the first clue about conflict of interest. If the Premier interfered or intervened in the hiring of people with whom he is involved, that is a conflict of interest and also highly inappropriate. It’s like some of you have no idea how people in office should act.

    This wasn’t tough questioning or being real or strong. She must be losing it if she really feels like she deserves a medal for this good community deed. This is her being a messy mouth, chatty patty, petty attention seeker. Not everything you hear on the streets is facts. If you weren’t there, heard or see it for yourself then just leave it on the streets. People lie all the time for no reason at all. People read things the way they think it is not how it really is. You smile while talking to somebody you must be screwing. Her ex-husband made claims against her publicly should we believe him automatically because he said so on the Community Board or should we wait for the facts.

    She got the gall to bring up Bill Clinton case and compare to this which is hilarious. The direct victim spoke about her relationship with Bill to a third party and she gave them evidence of the relationship which was semen from Bill. This wasn’t hearsay, this was facts. There was lots of evidence. Where is her evidence? she doesn’t have any, other than what somebody told her which the judge doesn’t want to hear in a slander case.

    If you are bringing accusations like that to the public, then you need to be armed with your evidence right then and there because once you do even if it’s not true then this remains a blemish on the person’s reputation. The next time she brings this up she need to bring her evidence so maybe BVINews or somebody should start to question her on her facts. If she can’t produce any then she just a messy mouth attention seeker.

    I’m not her biggest fan but the question still remains… Is it true or not that certain people are getting government jobs as favors because of their personal debatably inappropriate relationship with the premier.

    I am aware of ‘Conflict of Interest’ What the hell this has to do with that? This individual just needs to revisit her character and progress with dignified attributes instead of running her mouth in such vindictive manner.

    I would be shocked and very surprise if that happened with the BVI just coming off the back of a CoI and still under the scrutiny of the UK. That would be outrageous!

  33. GTFOH says:

    Sowande would be wrong and should resign if he did what he is accused of but accusations aren’t enough to justify the way it was brought forth. This rumor doesn’t even qualify to be called a rumor as it seems like only a select few people heard about this. Cindy herself is responsible for the mass spreading of this tale because now it’s a story covered by every local news site and Cindy hasn’t shown anything to even justify the speculation of inappropriate relations with the Premier.

  35. Apalled says:

    A trained journalist who is a professional in her job will not go to a press conference and ask such slanderous questions. She is no journalist, she has no morals. Just remember why she was fired. Working in a sensitive organisation and ripping it and its leaders to the public. I hope she is banned for future press conferences.

  36. Kind of thinking says:

    Kind of think Cindy is really Claude in drag? Ever see them together ?? Both have mouth running like broken toilet, methinks they is one and the same
