Reality TV star Chizzy Francis has come to the defence of his close friend and former Big Brother Naija winner, Phyna, urging Nigerians to stop attacking her online amid reports of her involvement in a heated altercation at a hotel in Abuja.
According to eyewitnesses, the incident — which allegedly started over a ₦200,000 dispute — began in Phyna’s hotel room before escalating into a public scene in the lobby, drawing the attention of guests and staff. As tensions rose, the confrontation reportedly turned physical, prompting hotel security to call in the police. Officers were said to have fired tear gas to disperse the crowd before taking Phyna and others involved to the station for questioning.
Reacting to the viral incident, Chizzy took to X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday night to express his support, reminding critics that Phyna is human and currently grieving the loss of her sister.
He wrote:
“Defending PHYNA isn’t optional. She’s human, she’s grieving, and she deserves respect. Bullying her online won’t make you stronger — it only exposes weakness. Choose kindness, or choose to be ignored.”
In another post, Chizzy appealed for empathy and understanding, saying:
“To everyone jumping to conclusions and criticizing PHYNA, take a step back. We’ve all faced tough times, and we don’t know what someone’s dealing with behind closed doors. She just lost her sister — the last thing she needs is hate. We don’t know what we’d do in her shoes. Let’s be kind.”
