Former Big Brother Naija housemate and actress Erica Nlewedim revealed that she endured three years of relentless online insults and criticism after participating in the reality show. During an interview on Toke Moment, the reality star shared that the constant stream of insults took a toll on her mental health, leading her to seek therapy.

Erica explained that social media became particularly challenging due to the constant notifications and comments. She stated that she only realized the extent of the impact after three years of non-stop criticism. Erica chose to take a break from acting in 2024 to focus on her well-being and address issues she had not previously acknowledged.
