Former BBNaija housemate Doyin David has recently opened up about her experience on the popular reality TV show, revealing that she faked her personality during her time in the house.
In a candid discussion on the CreativiTEA podcast, Doyin, who also joined the All-Stars season the following year, reflected on the pressures and challenges she faced during the show.
Doyin admitted that she felt compelled to project a mature persona, which she now acknowledges was not true to her real self.
“My first run was not my best run, to be honest,” Doyin confessed. “I have been on the show twice. I came out of the show and I hated it.
I was fake.” She elaborated that she adopted a calm and composed demeanor, which led to a public perception that she was overly mature.
“I came out with the narrative that Doyin is too mature. She is always trying to talk things out. That is not really me o. In real life, I fight.”
The reality TV star also revealed that her attempts to maintain this false image had tangible repercussions in her professional life.
Doyin shared that she lost a contract due to comments she made in an interview. “There is no bad or good brand. I had a brand that dropped me,” she said.
“They had signed me and paid me the money. But they called and asked for a refund. And it was because of an interview I did. And to be fair to them, I deserved to be dropped, because why did I talk?”
This revelation is not the first time Doyin has faced significant fallout from her participation in BBNaija. In 2023, she disclosed that she received death threats from an unidentified person, a stark reminder of the intense scrutiny and extreme reactions reality TV stars often encounter.
Doyin’s honesty about her experiences highlights the often-hidden pressures faced by reality TV participants to conform to certain images or personas.
It also underscores the real-life consequences that can stem from their on-screen actions and statements.
