BBNaija star Kassia has publicly addressed the controversy surrounding her reaction during an intense altercation in the house, clarifying that her laughter was not aimed at Wanni but at the remarks made towards Onyeka. This comes after a wave of online backlash and accusations that Kassia was mocking Wanni during a heated exchange involving housemates.
The incident in question occurred during a confrontation where housemates Chinwe and Ruthee exchanged insults with Onyeka, referring to her as a “hooker” while Kassia and her friend Victoria were seen laughing nearby. The video quickly went viral on social media, leading to widespread criticism from viewers who accused Kassia of being insensitive and even two-faced.
In a video response after her eviction, Kassia took the opportunity to set the record straight. She emphasized that her laughter was directed at Onyeka and not Wanni, a fact she felt was misinterpreted by viewers. Kassia also mentioned that she has had no ill feelings towards Wanni and that she had even defended her on several occasions during other disputes in the house.
Despite her explanation, the response has done little to quell the online debate, with fans continuing to discuss the matter. Some supported her stance, stating that her laughter was misunderstood, while others criticized her explanation as evasive.
Many of the critics highlighted Kassia’s actions, suggesting that her laughter, regardless of the target, was inappropriate in such a serious situation, especially given the hurtful nature of the insults directed at Onyeka. Several fans of Wanni were particularly vocal, accusing Kassia of trying to downplay the situation to avoid further backlash.
Kassia’s interview has reignited the discussion among BBNaija viewers, with fans taking to social media to voice their opinions on the matter. While some have shown support for her defense, others remain unconvinced, questioning her sincerity and calling for accountability for her actions in the house.
