Big Brother Naija Season 10 contestant Thelma Lawson has revealed the reasons behind her failed friendship with fellow housemate Isabella. In a post-show interview, Thelma explained that the relationship never blossomed due to a misunderstanding stemming from her pre-existing friendship with Kayinkunmi, another housemate.
Thelma, who was evicted from the show on Saturday night alongside Bright Morgan, stated that Isabella mistook her close bond with Kayinkunmi for a romantic relationship, which led to tension between them. Thelma had known Kayinkunmi before entering the competition and had chosen him as her deputy during her tenure as Head of House.
The reality star clarified that she intentionally kept the depth of her friendship with Kayinkunmi private, only explaining it to those who directly asked her. However, by the time Isabella realized there was no romantic relationship between Thelma and Kayinkunmi, the damage had already been done, and the misunderstanding had created a rift that was never repaired during their time in the house.
Thelma expressed regret that she and Isabella never became friends, as she had looked forward to connecting with her and learning from her perspective as a mother to a 14-year-old son. The tension between them worsened after Thelma chose Kayinkunmi as her deputy, with Isabella’s reaction signaling a strain in their relationship.
The eviction of Thelma and Bright Morgan has left fans of the show speculating about the remaining contestants and their chances of winning. As the competition continues, it remains to be seen how the dynamics between the housemates will unfold. Thelma’s revelation provides insight into the complexities of relationships within the Big Brother Naija house, where contestants must navigate social interactions and alliances while competing for the top prize.
