According to her, she faced repeated insults and criticism online for several years, which became difficult for her to handle.
The reality TV star said the pressure affected her mental health to the point that she had to speak with a therapist.
Erica explained that she eventually received professional support in 2024 after struggling with the emotional impact of the experience.
“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”, she said.
