Big Brother Naija star, Hermes Iyele, has reacted to his colleague Phyna’s claim that their co-star, Chichi, abandoned her husband and children.
Recall that BBNaija level-up winner Phyna alleged in a fit of rage during the reunion show that aired last night that Chichi was a mother of two who abandoned her children and husband in Benin City to hustle in Lagos.
This revelation sparked a buzz on the internet, with many questioning the authenticity of Phyna’s claim.
However, in a video posted online, Hermes has dismissed Phyna’s claim as false.
According to him, he had a conversation with Chichi prior to the drama, and she confirmed that the man and kids in the viral picture that fueled the rumor were actually her uncle and his children.
“First of all, I want to apologize for how the entire thing is misconstrued. I had a conversation with Chichi, and she told me that man is her uncle. She went to visit, and he took that picture.
”I asked why she didn’t tell her uncle to put out a disclaimer, and she said it will put them in a difficult situation because it was already difficult for them and her family members.
”I know for a fact that no one went out there to confirm anything. I was literally laughing at the impossibility of the entire situation. I was laughing because none of it was a fact,” he said.
