Big Brother Naija 2019 star, Chinonso Opara, popularly known as KimOprah, has said that people often condemn her for being beautiful.

The former beauty queen wondered why anyone would criticise or hate on her simply because of how pretty she looks.

KimOprah stated this during an interview with media personality, Hawa Magaji, where she opened up on how she broke down after participating in the reality show.

She said;

“People criticise me for the weirdest reason. How can you drag me for being beautiful? Sometimes, people also pit celebs against one another, creating animosity for no reason.

“My life has been one of grace and blessings, because some things happen and one wonders why. I really broke down after Big Brother. I have never shared this story. I was really broken, because with pageantry, I did not get anywhere.

I thought BBN would be different because it was out of my comfort zone. My people advised me to try it because I had been in Lagos for about a year hosting events. I recall that I used to tell Denrele Edun to give me some of the gigs that were below his pay grade.”

KimOprah also talked about her background and how being raised by an her mother who is independent minded helped her to grow her business.

The BBNaija alumni added;

“Growing up with a strong independent woman helped me business wise, and in life generally. It taught me not to wait on anyone. If one has to do something, one has to do it by oneself. I don’t wait around for people to do something for me; I just do it myself.”
