BBNaija reunion: Phyna under fire over comment on Chichi’s dead child

Phyna, the BBNaija season seven winner, is at the receiving end of heated criticism for making harsh comments about Chichi, a fellow housemate.

During a heated argument in a recently aired episode of the reunion show, Phyna accused Chichi of abandoning her husband and children.

She claimed this led to the death of one of Chichi’s children.

Phyna also alleged that Chichi was exploiting the loss of her parents as a strategy to gain sympathy and win the show.

These remarks have sparked outrage among viewers, who took to social media to condemn the claims.

In response to the backlash, Phyna took to social media to defend herself and shed light on her own experiences during the show.

She said BBNaija organisers selectively edited the episodes to omit instances of derogatory treatment she had endured.

Phyna also attributed her remarks to the provocation she had faced.

“They took off where I was body shamed, called saggy breasts and shapeless. They took away where I was called wombless and abortionist,” the reality TV star wrote.

“They took away where I was called a junky drug addict that deals on crack. They took away where I was wished death.

“They took away where I was called a man snatcher, day 1 and jumped to day 2 for my own clap back…. God of Phyna, where are you?”

Despite Phyna’s attempt to provide context for her behaviour, social media users continued to express their displeasure.

Below are some of the reactions on Twitter.

See, it’s doesn’t matter whether there was an edited scene from the multi choice or whether Phyna was provoked..Phyna channeling such energy on Chichi today still remains childish and stupid, moral lessons beware of what u tell ur friends #BBNaijaReunion

Why would Phyna mention that Chichi’s child died? Is that supposed to be a drag?

I've always said that Phyna is a dirty street trash girl. Her behaviour is disgusting that's why no brand will sign Her, no man will keep her. I'm glad Chichi knows her worth. #BBNaijaReunion pic.twitter.com/k3XjizgbAD

I am very sure if multichoice plays the first day Phyna will still be at fault. She called chichi a dead career first sef in the clip. So spare me this victim card. #BBNaijaReunion

I’m not even defending Chichi yh but omo the things Phyna said is something you tell someone when you want them to go and kill themselves! This girl is wicked!!!

Using her late parents as strategy? 2% fanbase?? Omo mehn!!! And you’re big on tribe?? Ok na!

It's 2023, you shouldn't be age shaming, using being a single mum, plastic surgery, profession or lack of as insults. Attack the person for who they are not their circumstances. What phyna said to chichi bring up her alleged dead child was seriously low class.

Phyna will rather die than accept she was wrong. So what if you were told to speak up. Did they ask you to insult Chichi’s dead parents? 🤡#BBNaijaReunion pic.twitter.com/JmFN5sVYxi

Phyna really said Chichi gave birth to children and one has died

Wait what’s making those stupid housemates laugh? Wtf is that

— Aquafina (@FolaLagos) June 22, 2023

Phyna said chichi abandoned her husband with 2 children leaving one dead 😳 coming from someone who has done 3 abortions in the past at a very young age

Phyna the razz cow you will crumble so bad for that! 🖐️ #BBNaijaReunion

Chichi stepped on toes, but chichi was never a mean girl. You see Phyna, she’s the meanest girl ever on BB, She literally Insulted and Age shamed her unprovoked. Chomzy is another dumb girl. Ilebeya please kindly mind your business . #BBNaijaReunion #BBNaija

Just saw this clip and I think there’s something absolutely wrong with this Phyna girl. If you’re in support of this shit talking by her, then you’ve lost it totally. Cos all I see here is her eyes is deep pain and hatred. Take it or leave it!

I know you people like to defend nonsense but there was absolutely no reason for chomzy to say chichi was trying to use her parent’s death as a strategy or Phyna saying your mama and papa die but na me win. Absolutely no reason. Use your number six, if you have one.

— Lit! (@JusttLit) June 22, 2023

So the blame now is on Multichoice 😅. Pray tell: was it Multichoice that instructed Phyna to reference the dead in Chichi's life to score cheap points?

🙄#BBNaijaReunion

Ebuka couldn’t even say anything…Bants or not, making reference to Chichi’s dead parents was low of Phyna.

Champs they said you people are 2% fanbase 🥹#BBNaijaReunion pic.twitter.com/ERs5YQCGEZ
