Former Miss Nigeria and Big Brother Naija contestant Beauty Tukura has spoken about her struggles with depression and suicidal thoughts following her disqualification from the show.

In an interview on BeyondWithEzinne podcast, Tukura revealed she felt overwhelmed by public scrutiny and shame, leading to a dark period where she nearly took her life.

She said: “I was depressed, I feel like my life ended. I was living in a dark room for weeks and in between, I will do therapy.

“I cried every day. I was thinking of ending it. I almost actually committed suicide.

“The heat was too much, and personally, I felt like nothing I said was going to make sense because all they wanted to do was crucify me like Jesus. It was very hard”.

Tukura praised her parents’ unwavering support and messages from fans worldwide, which helped her cope and focus on the positive.

“I decided to focus on the love. Since then, I’ve always focused on the positive messages,” she said.

The experience was a turning point for Tukura, who has since reflected on mistakes and the lessons learned.

“That was the lowest point of my life, and I’ve decided it will stay that way. There’s no room for such mistakes anymore,” she said.
