Former Big Brother Naija “Level Up” housemate, Chichi, recently opened up about her tumultuous relationship with fellow housemate Deji Morafa, who turned out to be a fake contestant. The reunion show, which aired on Wednesday, provided Chichi with the platform to share the details of the ill treatment she endured throughout their time together, ultimately leading to their inevitable breakup.
During her heartfelt revelation, Chichi disclosed that while she believed in their love, Deji presented a completely different story to the public. This stark contrast in their portrayal of their relationship left Chichi feeling betrayed and hurt.
Chichi further revealed that Deji manipulated her by exploiting her childhood experiences, cunningly shifting the blame onto her during their arguments. This psychological tactic caused her to doubt her own sanity and even contemplate seeking therapy to overcome the emotional turmoil she was experiencing.
Furthermore, Chichi expressed her disappointment with Deji’s dismissive attitude towards her concerns. Every time she tried to address her issues and express her feelings, he would undermine her by accusing her of overthinking or exaggerating the situation. This pattern of invalidation only served to intensify her frustration and exhaustion.
After enduring such emotional distress for an extended period, Chichi made the difficult decision to walk away from the relationship. Recognizing the detrimental impact it had on her mental and emotional well-being, she concluded that it was imperative to prioritize her own happiness and find solace away from the toxic environment.
