BBNaija ‘Level Up’ winner Ijeoma Josephina Otabor aka Phyna has reversed her claim to have had an abortion twice.
In a recent interview, the reality star claimed that she terminated two pregnancies at the ages of 19 and 24 after a Twitter troll referred to her as an idiot.
Following Phyna’s acceptance of the act while responding to the troll, the interview was prompted.
But there was a new twist when social media actor Uche Maduagwu shared a phone conversation he had with the Season 7 winner in which she claimed she had never had an abortion.
She expressed surprise that the news spread so quickly, and in her defense, she explained that she accepts derogatory comments about herself during an altercation.
According to her, she does not stop there; she attempts to validate the rude remark by providing an example before responding to the person.
She explained that it was her way of incapacitating her troll and confusing them so much that they were unable to respond.
“The whole abortion pill that everyone is fronting….is fine, I don’t know, but what I have to say is…,” she said.
“That’s how I am when we’re fighting and you tell me, Phyna, that you’re mad. I’ll accept it before continuing with you. I’ll first accept my insanity and declare, ‘In fact, I just left the psychiatric home.’
“How this whole thing began. When someone actually called me and said, ‘I can’t say the same for you because you are an abortionist,’ I was stunned. It was literally just me doing it the best way I knew how. ‘Yes, I have done abortions,’ I replied.
“Anything you tell me in the case of a fight, I like testing it because I see it as power. Because imagine telling someone he’s stupid and the person accepting it. What else do you have to say to this person?
“And that’s what happened with the abortion thing. I’m surprised that people are saying all of this now.
“Imagine someone telling you something that they know will hurt you, only for you to accept it. What else could the person possibly tell you?”
“So there was nothing like abortion, and you were just using it to catch a cruise? Maduagwu inquired.
“That’s the way it is, o!” Phyna replied. “We were just abusing each other back and forth,” she explained. Sometimes I wake up and see things I have no idea about, and I just stare.
“Everyone in the house kept a close eye on me. When I’m having a problem and you tell me, ‘Phyna, you’re stupid.’ “Yes, I am stupid,” I’ll say.
“Phyna, you’re a foolish girl; I’ll say, ‘Yes, I am a foolish girl,’ before I tell you mine. So, if you have the mind, collect the one I’m telling you about.
“That’s just how things are for me. That’s how I’ve always known how to argue. That’s all. And now that’s….. I’m not sure…. I’m not sure.
“Even if I’ve done it, I can’t just go online and blow it up. Like, I don’t get it. That was me doing exactly what I know how to argue.
“If you call me a razz girl now, like they call me a razz girl. I’ll accept it and say, “Yes, I’m Razz, I’m from the street,” and I’ll accept it.
“That’s exactly what happened that day. And the next thing you know, he’ll be like, “Well, I don’t know.”
