#BBNaijaAllStars: People made obituary posters of me – Angel
Former Big Brother Naija contestant Angel Smith revealed that trolls created obituary posters with her name, taking online harassment to shocking levels during her 2021 stint on the reality show
In a recent interview with media personality Hero Daniels, Angel opened up about the traumatic experiences she faced as a result of her transparency regarding her mental health struggles during the 2021 “Shine Ya Eye” season of the show.
Angel’s experience on the 2021 season of “Shine Ya Eye” was marked by her candid discussions about her personal battles with mental health.
While this was an attempt to raise awareness and destigmatize the topic, it unfortunately made her a target for relentless online abuse.
In Angel words;
“This season on Big Brother, I struggled to be vulnerable a lot because in ‘Shine Ya Eye’ 2021, I talked about my mental health and how much I struggled a lot, and they [trolls] started using it against me. I mean, there were all sorts of narratives that I’m a crazy person, I belong in a mental hospital…”
“It’s hurtful to hear those things. I saw a tweet in 2021, someone said, ‘Very soon she would soon h**t herself.’ Because I spoke about self-h**ting.
“There were a lot of hurtful things I came back out to [in 2021]: People made obituary posters for me.”
