Ex Big Brother Naija housemate, Doyin David, stated that participating in the reality programme has a negative impact on one’s mental health.
She recently discussed the effect of the reality show on the housemate’s mental health on the Morning Brief Show. Although she acknowledged the financial benefits of being on the show, she issued a warning to anyone who might be at risk for mental health issues.
David said in the interview: “I can’t complain if I talk about finance; it’s been excellent. I keep saying the post-show mental health part. I wouldn’t suggest that you appear on that show if you lack mental stability, are unsure of your identity, are struggling with your mental health, or both.”
“As much as it can make you, it can also break you because there’s a lot of criticism about your life and everyone has an opinion about what you wear, what you do, who you date, what you say, things that regular people and nobody would care. Just know that once you come out of the show, you no longer have freedom of speech like that,” David cautioned.
She concluded by stressing that even though there are upsides and downsides to being on the show, the good outweighs the bad.
