The Pressure Was Crushing” – BBNaija Star Beauty Reveals She Almost Took Her Life

Former Big Brother Naija Season 7 housemate, Beauty Tukura, has opened up about her battle with depression and suicidal thoughts following her disqualification from the 2022 edition of the reality show.

Speaking on the Beyond With Ezinne podcast, the former Miss Nigeria reflected on the emotional turmoil she endured after her exit, revealing how public backlash and intense criticism took a severe toll on her mental health.

Beauty admitted that she felt deep shame and guilt, to the extent that she couldn’t face her parents immediately after her disqualification. However, she said her family’s unwavering love and support eventually helped her heal and rebuild her confidence.

Recalling her lowest moments, the Taraba-born lawyer confessed that she cried daily and even contemplated ending her life before deciding to focus on the love and encouragement from her fans.

“The heat was too much, and I felt like nothing I said would make sense because everyone just wanted to crucify me like Jesus. It was really hard,” she said.

“I was too ashamed to see my parents. I cried every day. I was thinking of ending it — I actually almost committed suicide. But then, I decided to focus on the positive messages and the love I was receiving.

That was the lowest point of my life, and I’ve promised myself it will remain that way — no more room for such mistakes.”

Beauty was disqualified during the Level Up edition of BBNaija in August 2022 after receiving two strikes for violent behaviour toward fellow housemates, Ilebaye and Groovy.
