Gigi Jasmine, a former BBNaija Season 10 housemate, has refuted claims that her frequent emotional outbursts in the house were part of a calculated game strategy.
The disc jockey, who was voted out alongside Victory last Sunday, explained in a post-eviction interview that her tears and reactions were entirely genuine and a direct reflection of her personality.
Gigi described the intense environment of the Big Brother house as a “pressure cooker” that takes a significant mental toll on its inhabitants.
She argued that this high-pressure situation naturally amplifies a person’s emotions, leading to more vulnerable moments.
“So it is definitely not a strategy, that is who I am. I am an emotional person, I could cry at the drop of a hat. For me, my family and friends always say that my heart is so big but like it is your greatest strength and weakness,”she said.
“For me, I got more emotional than usual in the house and the only reason was because that house is a pressure cooker. It mentally messes with you and you can be one of 29 but you still feel so lonely.
“And you are trying to make sure that you present yourself the best way forward. Even if you are trying your hardest to present yourself, you still want to be like you know what? I am human, I still have my moments. A lot of people also had their own moments in the house.”
The BBNaija season 10 edition kicked off with a two-day opening ceremony.
This year’s winner will take home a staggering N150 million — the highest grand prize in the show’s history since its debut in 2006.
