Phyna Breaks Silence After Criticism Over Clubbing Video Following Sister’s Burial
Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner, Ijeoma Josephina Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, has spoken out after facing backlash for attending a party shortly after her sister’s burial.
Phyna, who lost her younger sister, Ruth Otabor, in an accident involving a Dangote truck in August and laid her to rest in September, came under fire after a video surfaced showing her clubbing with Nollywood actress Regina Daniels. The clip sparked widespread criticism, with some fans accusing her of being insensitive and moving on too quickly after her loss.
Addressing the controversy in a heartfelt post on her X account, the reality star reminded critics that grief is a personal journey. “Grief has no manual, no fixed face, and no timetable. The fact that I choose to keep living, smiling, or sharing moments does not erase the pain I carry. Respect the process, even if you do not understand it. If you cannot extend compassion, then at least extend silence,” she wrote.
