Recently evicted Big Brother Naija Season 10 housemate, Thelma Lawson, has shed light on why her much-anticipated friendship with fellow contestant Isabella never blossomed in the house.<\/p>\n
Thelma, who was evicted on Saturday night alongside Bright Morgan in a surprise double eviction, disclosed in her post-show interview that the misunderstanding stemmed from her closeness with Kayinkunmi, a housemate she already knew before the competition<\/p>\n
\u201cI wanted to learn life from her perspective. But things changed because Kayinkunmi who is my friend outside the house was also in the game,\u201d Thelma explained.<\/p>\n
Thelma stated that the tension worsened after she picked Kayinkunmi as her deputy during her tenure as Head of House.<\/p>\n
She added that Isabella\u2019s reaction immediately after her deputy choice signaled the strain in their relationship.<\/p>\n
\u201cHer reaction that night showed me she had taken it too far. I felt it wasn\u2019t the right moment for a conversation,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Thelma clarified that she deliberately kept the depth of her pre-existing friendship with Kayinkunmi private, insisting it was unnecessary to announce it to everyone.<\/p>\n
\u201cKayinkunmi is my friend and that was why I chose him as deputy. I didn\u2019t want anyone using us for highlights that\u2019s why I only explained to those who directly asked me.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnfortunately by the time Isabella realized there was nothing between us, the damage had already been done,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The reality star concluded that while she had hoped for a genuine friendship with Isabella, the misunderstanding created a rift that was never repaired during their time in the house.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
