Ex-Big Brother Naija Season 7 housemate, Doyin David, has candidly shared her experiences and the hurdles she faced while being part of a Nigerian reality TV show.
Speaking in a recent podcast, Doyin disclosed that she felt overexposed and that her time on BBNaija was extremely taxing.
She frowned at how the organisers of the reality show portrayed contestants, saying it often creates misleading impressions about their true personalities.
Doyin further stated that Nigeria’s highly judgmental environment worsened the experience, stressing she will no longer participate in any Nigerian reality show, irrespective of the payment.
The BBNaija star hinted at being open to appearing on a reality show outside the country under different circumstances.
She said, “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.
“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”.
