Season 7 star reveals harsh realities of fame, says she’d only consider international shows after “exposing” experience
Former Big Brother Naija contestant Doyin David has pulled back the curtain on the emotional strain of reality TV fame, admitting her time on the show left her mentally exhausted and unfairly stereotyped.
In a candid podcast appearance, the outspoken Season 7 housemate revealed she wouldn’t return to any Nigerian reality program “for any amount of money,” citing the nation’s harsh judgment culture and producers’ tendency to distort contestants’ true personalities.
“They Portray You How They Want”
Doyin didn’t hold back when describing the creative editing she believes misrepresented her character: “They’ve given everybody an impression of you that’s not true. So much of what people assume about my personality is completely wrong,” she explained, adding that the experience felt “very exposing” in ways she hadn’t anticipated.
While shutting the door on local reality TV, the media personality left a window open for international opportunities, suggesting she’d consider shows abroad with different production approaches. Her remarks highlight growing concerns about the psychological impact of reality TV formats in Nigeria’s hyper-critical social media landscape.
A Warning to Future Contestants?
Doyin’s revelations come as Nigeria’s reality TV industry continues booming, with thousands auditioning annually for BBNaija’s life-changing but scrutinized platform. Her testimony serves as a stark reminder of the hidden costs behind the fame and fortune—a perspective rarely shared by alumni while the spotlight still burns bright.
“Nigerians are too judgmental,” she concluded with finality. “I’m not blessing them with my presence again.” For this reality star, the price of fame came at too high a cost.
