Big Brother Naija ‘Level Up’ winner, Ijeoma Otabor better known as Phyna has filed a petition against a wig vendor.
Kemi Filani reported towards the end of last year that a wig vendor had accused Phyna of failure to return a rented wig. Screenshots were shared, which showed Phyna and her team rather attempting to negotiate a lower price with the vendor.
Phyna, addressing the scandal, expressed weariness at being constantly criticized online, describing the accuser as a “clout chaser” and calling for people to do better.
In an Instagram live video, she claimed the woman was blackmailing her, revealing that she doesn’t know the accuser and suggesting that her management team might have handled the transaction without informing her.
In December, the reality star revealed that the police had invited her for questioning over the issue.
Now taking to her Instagram page to share a screenshot of the petition, Phyna had reported the wig vendor to the police for investigation over cyberbullying and conspiracy.
In the petition, she described herself as a law-abiding citizen, who doesn’t want to take the law into her own hands. As such, where she wants the police to investigate and bring the culprit to book.
Captioning the post, she noted how she has been bullied and embarrassed over the rented wig.
“For some reason in December, I was falsely accused of what I know nothing about. And I have been constantly bullied and embarrassed over a rented wig, with the help of the Nigeria Police I am pleased to say Justice is coming”.
Some weeks back, Phyna had recounted how her controversies and scandals had made her lose 17 brand deals.
She revealed how a brand rejected working with her because they felt she was an abuser after a blog made a false accusation about her and Groovy.
The reality star stated that the trolling on social media negatively affected her as she lost 17 brand deals in total between 2022 and 2023.
Recently, Phyna in one of the episodes of her podcast, Spill with Phyna, recalled how a male fan offered her N5 million for sex at a nightclub, which she declined and ordered the man to leave her presence.
Many didn’t believe her story, especially the point where she asked to transfer the said amount to him, and reacting to it, Phyna stated that N5 million was a chicken change to her as she could make it by just sitting at home, without going out to a hustle.
She noted how N5 million is just $5000, which she has more than that in her dollar account.
