BBNaija’s Thelma Lawson Opens Up About the Pressures of Life After Fame
Former Big Brother Naija Season 10 housemate, Thelma Lawson, has opened up about the reality of life after the show, revealing that fame comes with unexpected challenges.
In a candid chat with Yanga FM, the 27-year-old lifestyle influencer and skincare consultant shared that maintaining her image as a public figure has become both emotionally and financially demanding.
Known for her striking fashion sense during the “10/10” edition of the reality show, Thelma said her fans now see her as a fashion icon, expecting her to always show up looking flawless. This, she admitted, puts pressure on her to constantly update her wardrobe and attend events in style.
The Rivers State-born entrepreneur described her post-show journey as both rewarding and exhausting, explaining that she has to balance the expectations of her audience with the realities of family and personal life.
“The truth is, this new life is expensive,” she said. “You have to show up for events, look good, and live up to the image people have of you. After I left the house, people started calling me the most fashionable, and now there’s an audience always watching what Thelma wears.”
Thelma added that while she’s grateful for the opportunities fame has brought, the constant attention can sometimes feel overwhelming. Still, she remains committed to inspiring others through her journey, style, and authenticity.
