Former Big Brother Naija housemate Erica Nlewedim has opened up about the traumatic effect of participating in the reality show.

Speaking in a recent interview with media personality Toke Makinwa, she said she would never return to a show like BBNaija, despite the financial gains it brought her.

Erica revealed that she endured three years of back-to-back insults after her appearance on the show, which took a toll on her mental health. She said she had to see a therapist in 2024 to cope with the constant online criticism.

She, however, admitted that despite the challenges, the platform significantly changed her career financially.

She said:
“I’ll never go to a show like Big Brother Naija again in my life. I’m happy I did it because, of course, it changed my life money-wise, but I’m never doing it again if I’m given the opportunity. I was getting like 3 years of back-to-back insults. I had to see a therapist because of that show.”
