Former BBNaija reality star, Bally Balat has disclosed that some housemates go through depression after the reality show.
Speaking during an interview with Ndani TV, Bally said pressure affects the mental states of housemates during the show.
According to him, not everyone is cut out for the pressure involved in the show.
“Going for the show is not easy. I keep telling people that the pressure involved in the show is not for everybody. Not everyone can survive it.
“I might be wrong, but I will say maybe 60 per cent of housemates have gone into depression. They might not be in depression now, but they have gone through it one time. There is so much pressure,” he said.
Bally went on to note that fame earned from the show rarely survives the test of time.
“For example, you come out of the house and everybody loves you. You have access to something and your life is glamorous and then you go into the next phase and realize that all those were not real and it was just a part-time thing.
“The real-life is setting in and as they announced the next audition, things are moving and you enter the deep state where you are forgotten. I am sure a lot of housemates have gone through these.”
