Former Big Brother Naija housemate Thelma Lawson has shared a defining moment from her time on the show, revealing how her father stepped in to stop a fundraising flier created on her behalf.
According to Thelma, while she was still in the BBNaija house, her team designed a flier requesting financial support from the public. They believed it would help sustain her stay in the competition, just as other contestants often relied on external backing. But once her father saw the flier, he immediately insisted it be taken down.
She recalled him saying, “You’re a classy girl,” a statement that stayed with her and shaped how she presents herself publicly. For Thelma, it wasn’t just about rejecting donations. It was about maintaining dignity, protecting her image, and honoring the values she was raised with.

Fans have reacted positively to her revelation, praising her father’s guidance and commending Thelma for staying true to herself. Many say it sheds light on the pressure reality TV personalities face behind the scenes, where decisions made by teams and family members can significantly impact their public journey.
Today, Thelma continues to grow her influence through her skincare line, Bellissimo Story by Thelma, while staying rooted in the principles that shaped her long before the cameras.
