Former Big Brother Naija star Adekunle Olopade has defended Season 10 housemates amid widespread backlash over several intimate moments on the show.
In a post shared via X on Sunday, Adekunle maintained that the housemates are consenting adults who have not committed any wrongdoing by being physically attracted to each other.
He emphasized that the show is rated 18, urging viewers to keep this context in mind before passing judgment.
His comments followed viral clips that have circulated among viewers, where housemates Koyin and Isabella were seen after the Saturday night party in a compromising position under the duvet, suggesting a sexual intimacy.
Recall that Jason Jae and Sultana also sparked widespread backlash after footage showed Sultana’s head moving under a duvet after the Friday night wager task presentation, suggesting an oral intimacy.
Reacting to the criticism, Adekunle condemned what he described as “image shaming” and reputation damage directed at the housemates, describing it as hypocritical and damaging to the essence of the reality show.
The ex-BBNaija housemate further argued that many critics likely engage in similar or worse behavior privately, adding that the backlash reflects double standards from the public.
“So, because consenting adults ON A RATED 18 show who are clearly attracted to each other get intimate, that’s why you guys are coming up with all these think pieces? The hypocrisy I’ve seen this week alone is laughable.
“What do you guys really think happens when adults are left together in a confined space? Please let’s be real.
“The gag in all of this is, the people who are pointing fingers and quick to accusations actually do much worse, with multiple people infact,” he wrote.
