Monalisa Stephen, a champion of body positivity, has confronted Tacha, a former Big Brother Naija reality star, over accusations of body shaming.
In an interview with Pulse Nigeria, Monalisa asserted that Tacha has developed an air of arrogance and a lack of gratitude towards the program that catapulted her to fame.
She reminded Tacha that without the reality show, she might still be an anonymous figure twerking online. Monalisa acknowledged Tacha's consistent emphasis on how the show transformed her.
Tacha, known for her forthright responses to criticism, used her Instagram platform to counter Monalisa's comments. She questioned how many times she should express gratitude to the show's producers for selecting her. Tacha sarcastically wondered if she should become an office cleaner as an additional gesture of appreciation. She dismissed Monalisa as "dùmb" and defended her own hard work in reaching her current position.
Tacha further supported her argument by pointing out that BBN's impact on her wasn't the sole factor in her success. She used the example of another housemate, Ella, who hasn't achieved a similar level of recognition.
“You get mind-body shame me o. You that without BBN you are nothing. I am self-made!! But that’s something you can’t ever relate to all thanks to Port Harcourt n Lagos boys. Astalavi Give demmmm.”
This exchange reflects the complex dynamics of fame and public opinion, especially in the realm of reality television.
