Former Big Brother Naija (BBN) winner, Mercy Eke, has said that most girls who criticise her on social media either want to be like her or want to be in her circle of friends.
The reality TV star said this during an interview with media personality Taymesan while sharing her experience with online bullies since she rose to fame.
Mercy Eke lamented that the nasty comments get to her sometimes because she’s human with blood flowing through her veins and she always feels like coming out to defend herself for the horrible things said about her.

“Sometimes it does (get to me) because I am human, especially when lies are told about me, and I cannot defend myself. Sometimes, I just wallow in anger and wish I can say things as they are with proof. The trolling (cyberbullying) hurts me most times because they say horrible things to me.”
“They said I have been married, that I have been pregnant. At this stage of my life, I have to get it right. I am a lover girl and I give love.”
“I don’t think anyone can intimidate me. Aside from the proper London girls, most of these girls have horrible accents. I attract people that like the real me. I have nothing to hide, and there is nothing to be intimidated by. I am doing pretty well, and many of the girls (that criticise me) want to be me. They want to be in my circle,” she said.
