In a recent development, Big Brother Naija’s ‘shine your eyes’ finalist, Chichi, has reportedly taken legal action against her co-star, Phyna, by filing an N100 million lawsuit. The lawsuit stems from Phyna’s defamatory statements against Chichi, for which she seeks damages. According to reports, during the BBNaija Reunion, a heated argument unfolded between Phyna and Chichi. Amid the confrontation, Phyna accused Chichi of abandoning her husband and children in Benin City, leading to the tragic death of one of her children.
Additionally, Phyna alleged that Chichi had strategically manipulated her deceased parents’ story to win the show. People also hurled age-shaming and derogatory remarks at Chichi, with Phyna claiming she is 33 and even going as far as calling her a stripper. Furthermore, Phyna made a serious accusation that Chichi had poisoned her friend in Cyprus out of jealousy.
Reacting to these damaging allegations, Chichi has taken a strong stance by pursuing legal action against Phyna. Through her legal representatives, Chichi’s lawyers categorically stated that the claims made by Phyna were false, malicious, and defamatory. They emphasized that the accusation of Chichi poisoning her friend in Cyprus is entirely baseless and without merit.
In the lawsuit, Chichi’s legal team highlighted the detrimental impact of Phyna’s statements on their client’s professional and personal life. They asserted that Chichi had suffered substantial damages, including the loss of several endorsement deals and that her reputation had been tarnished due to Phyna’s defamatory remarks.
As the legal proceedings unfold, fans and followers eagerly await the resolution of this dispute, hoping for a fair and just outcome.
