Former Big Brother Naija star Adekunle Olopade has risen in defense of Season 10 housemates following widespread criticism over intimate displays in the house.
In a post shared via X on Sunday, Adekunle stressed that the housemates are consenting adults and have not committed any wrongdoing by being physically attracted to one another.
He reminded critics that the reality show is rated 18, urging viewers to consider this context before passing judgment.
His comments come after viral clips showed Koyin and Isabella in a compromising position under the duvet after the Saturday night party, sparking speculations of sexual intimacy.
Recall that Jason Jae and Sultana also trended after a controversial moment under the duvet following the Friday night wager task, which fueled backlash from viewers who claimed the pair crossed boundaries.
Reacting to the criticism, Adekunle condemned what he described as “image shaming” and reputation damage directed at the housemates, branding the outrage hypocritical and contrary to the true essence of the reality show.
According to him, many of those criticizing likely engage in similar or worse behavior privately, insisting the backlash reflects public double standards.
“So, because consenting adults ON A RATED 18 show who are clearly attracted to each other get intimate, that’s why you guys are coming up with all these think pieces? The hypocrisy I’ve seen this week alone is laughable.
“What do you guys really think happens when adults are left together in a confined space? Please let’s be real.
“The gag in all of this is, the people who are pointing fingers and quick to accusations actually do much worse, with multiple people in fact,” he wrote.
