Days of our Lives has fired one of the most infamous writers in its 30-year history. The move ends what turned out to be a far more controversial moment for the NBC soap than anyone would have thought.
Kola Boof, a Sudanese-born novelist and poet, had been serving as a ghost writer for Days of our Lives. According to some sources, Boof has written most, if not all, of the story material that will air this summer. . . .
And in true soap opera style, Boof has a secret connection - but not to anyone on the show. Boof is the former mistress of the terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden. The complete details of Boof's past with bin Laden is chronicled in her autobiography, Diary of a Lost Girl. In 2003, however, Boof's relationship with bin Laden was revealed to be against her will and more akin to slavery than an affair.
Through her work on daytime television, Boof joked that she hoped to attain a much lower profile. |
