Reality TV star and actress, Erica Nlewedim, recently shared her thoughts on the ongoing Big Brother all-stars season, particularly concerning her views on housemate Ilebaye. As one of the youngest contestants, Ilebaye has been navigating the challenges of the house, frequently finding herself in conflicts with her older colleagues, including a recent heated altercation with Neo Akpofure that revolved around issues of harassment and unrequited love.
Erica, a former BBNaija star herself, did not mince her words when expressing her opinions on Nigerians who support Ilebaye. She suggested that there is a tendency among some viewers to enjoy feeling sorry for others, and she believes that this pity might be playing a role in the support Ilebaye is receiving in the competition. Erica’s perspective on the situation raises questions about the dynamics of public perception and how sympathy can impact a contestant’s journey on a reality TV show like Big Brother.
In a social media post, Erica wrote, “It’s no news that y’all love pity, they’ve given you something to pity, take it 🤦🏽‍♀️.”
However, some Nigerians have come online to attack her for her statement, with others, agreeing wholly with her.
