Former Big Brother Naija Season 7 housemate, Doyin David, has opened up about her difficult experience on the popular reality TV show and why she has no intention of returning, regardless of the offer.
According to Naturenex, Doyin recently spoke candidly on a podcast, describing her time on BBNaija as mentally exhausting and overly exposing. She expressed her dissatisfaction with how the show’s organisers often misrepresent housemates, creating false public perceptions about who they truly are.
She pointed out that Nigeria’s critical and judgmental social environment made the entire experience even tougher, leading her to vow never to participate in another reality show within the country.
In her words, “When you go on a reality TV show. They portray you how they want to portray you. Not everything is how you really are, but they’ve given everybody an impression of you, and some of those impressions are not true. There’s a lot that people think about me and think I am, in terms of my personality, that is really not who I am at all.”
Reflecting on the intense pressure she faced, Doyin continued, “Being on a reality TV show, my experience was very challenging mentally, very exposing. I wouldn’t do it again for any amount of money. Except it’s a reality TV show outside the country, then I’ll probably take it. But Nigerians are too judgmental, so no, I’m not blessing them with my presence ever again.”
