Comedian Nikki Crosby, who was yesterday caught up in the protest along the Beetham Highway, broke down in tears as she relived the trauma she went through when she saw boulders being thrown at her vehicle.
This was the second traumatic incident for her, she having been robbed less than three months ago while with her husband.
Taking to social media in a video last evening, Crosby said she was not okay “experiencing this as a woman, alone, I was terrified…I sat in my Hilux and watch two boys throwing two boulder size stones at my vehicle and looking and waiting for them to hit but they missed every time…I have never been so petrified in my life…I got home and couldn’t stop vomiting.”
She said when the boys turned to collect more boulders she recovered from her “frozen state” and drove off.
“I want to know how much more am I supposed to take as a Trinidadian living in sweet T&T…I am an entertainer, a comedian, I am supposed to make you guys laugh and you supposed to make me laugh because there is nothing for me to laugh about,” an emotional Crosby said.
She blamed the politicians for the state the country is in.
“I blame every politician because they are taking advantage of us…this country don’t love me…it raping me, abusing me, robbing me and traumatising me - every day I cry for children in this country and women and feel so hopeless.”
Crosby said she believes because of the powerful prayers she did yesterday morning before venturing out she was protected her during the ordeal and urged T&T to pray.
“Pray T&T…this is what we need to do,” Crosby said.
