Big Brother Naija season 7 winner, Josephine Otabor, better known as Phyna, has reacted to a report claiming that she abandoned her family after winning the reality show.
Recall that the Edo-born reality TV star emerged as the winner of the show in 2022 and walked away with the N100 million grand prize.
However, in a recent interview with Vanguard, her father revealed that she forgot about her family after winning the prize money.

According to Phyna’s father, the last time he saw her was when she was announced winner of the show, which was contrary to his initial belief that their family’s suffering would come to an end.
He also alleged that his daughter asked him to quit his job as a hearse driver and sell his vehicles. Unfortunately, after he sold his old cars, she didn’t provide any assistance, leaving him currently jobless.
In reaction to the report, Phyna took to the microblogging platform X to reveal that she was heartbroken by the news and would go live on her Instagram page to address it.
She tweeted,
“In the history of dragging ….. this is the first time I cried and it touched me 💔
Let’s meet later on instagram live.”

She also threatened to sue the news outlet for publishing the report, alleging that her father was in distress.
