Venita Akpofure Responds to Claims of Ongoing Distress from BBNaija Conflict
Venita Akpofure, a prominent contestant from the Big Brother Naija All Stars 2023 edition, recently addressed comments made by an X (formerly Twitter) user suggesting she continues to experience nightmares following a heated exchange with fellow housemate Doyin Haastrup during a live eviction episode.
Background: The Tense Rivalry Between Venita and Doyin
Throughout the 2023 BBNaija All Stars season, Venita and Doyin frequently clashed, with Doyin openly criticizing Venita’s behavior. During a candid interview with the show’s host, Ebuka, Doyin characterized Venita as someone who deliberately undermines others to make their experience uncomfortable.
“She is quite mean and seems to take pleasure in belittling others. When she dislikes someone, she creates an environment that’s hostile and unbearable for them. Given her age, I expected more maturity, but she disappoints on that front. Honestly, if she wasn’t in a relationship on the show, she would have been evicted already. Adekunle deserves a huge thank you for keeping her in the game,” Doyin remarked.
Recent Social Media Reactions and Venita’s Rebuttal
On August 31, a throwback clip of Doyin’s remarks resurfaced on X, prompting a user to comment, “I bet Venita still has nightmares from this.” Venita came across this comment and chose to respond directly, firmly denying any ongoing trauma from the incident.
Moreover, Venita issued a warning to another X user who claimed that many entertainment industry insiders agreed with Doyin’s assessment, threatening legal action against the spread of what she considers defamatory statements.

Venita’s proactive stance in addressing these claims highlights the importance of managing one’s narrative in the digital age.
