*Why I Won’t Advise Anybody Close to Me to Go for BBNaija – Tega Dominic

By on 0

In a candid and deeply personal revelation, former Big Brother Naija housemate **Tega Dominic** has opened up about the lasting emotional and mental toll of her time on the popular reality show, stating clearly that she would not encourage anyone dear to her to audition for it.


Speaking in a recent interview, Tega shared: “I won’t tell anybody close to me to go for Big Brother. If you’re not mentally strong, don’t go for Big Brother.”


She explained that her experience on the show significantly affected her mental health, particularly after she left the house. “After Big Brother, I used to have anxiety. It became worse. I had social anxiety. I can’t go to spaces if I’m alone. I can give you hugs, but I can’t receive hugs,” she said.


Tega’s words highlight the often-hidden psychological challenges that come with participating in high-stakes reality television. While the show brought her visibility and opened doors to opportunities she might not have accessed otherwise, the intense public scrutiny, isolation, and pressure took a heavy emotional price.


She acknowledged some positive changes in her life, noting that the platform elevated her in ways that could have taken much longer otherwise. However, her strong caution stems from a place of genuine concern for the well-being of loved ones.


Tega’s message is clear and heartfelt: Big Brother Naija is not for everyone. It demands exceptional mental resilience, and even then, the aftermath can be far more difficult than many anticipate.


Her honesty serves as an important reminder about the real human cost behind the glamour of reality TV. For Tega, protecting the peace and mental health of those closest to her outweighs any potential fame or fortune the show might offer. 


Many fans and observers have commended her for speaking openly about these struggles, sparking wider conversations about mental health support for reality show participants long after the cameras stop rolling.
