Former Big Brother Naija housemate and actress Erica Nlewedim has opened up about the emotional toll she experienced following her participation in the reality television show.

According to Ireporter Online, Erica disclosed that the criticism and insults she faced after leaving the BBNaija house continued for years and eventually became overwhelming, prompting her to seek professional help.

The actress made the revelation during an interview with media personality Toke Makinwa, where she reflected on her experience on the reality show, her disqualification and the intense public attention that followed.

Erica explained that the backlash did not end after her exit from the programme, as she continued to receive harsh comments and criticism on social media for several years.

She said the prolonged negativity had a significant emotional impact on her and eventually led her to consult a therapist for support.

The actress revealed that she received professional help in 2024 after struggling with the effects of the experience. She also made it clear that despite the opportunities and financial benefits the reality show brought her, she would not consider participating in a similar programme again.

Erica said her experience on BBNaija changed her life financially, but the constant criticism made the journey difficult and left her unwilling to return to the reality show.
