Big Brother Naija reality star Phyna has stated that she is not proud of having two abortions at a young age.
Earlier in January, Phyna in an interview with Punch revealed that she had abortions at the ages 19 and 24.
She stated that her first abortion was done due to her young age while the second was done because she was in a toxic relationship.
She said: “I was in a 12-year relationship then and I was so young. The first abortion was when I was 19; I couldn’t go home to tell my parents that I was pregnant at that age. And the two pregnancies were so early like two to three weeks that I could just use tablets.
“The second was when I was 24, and I had finished serving then. I was ready to keep it but the relationship was getting toxic. He abused me and always beat me up. I said to myself that I couldn’t do this anymore, so I took it out and that was how I ended the relationship.”
However, during a recent podcast with fellow BBNaija star Doyin, the 26-year-old said she is not proud of the choices she made.
She said: “I didn’t want to talk about it anymore because it is obvious a lot of bloggers try to twist my words to their satisfaction. This is something that happened a very long time ago, too young, as at then I think around 20 years, I knew I wanted to be somebody in life.

“It’s not something I am proud of, I mean nobody should be proud of that, but this happened while I was younger. I knew what I went through. Nobody knew what I went through, it’s not something I am proud of but let’s call a spade a spade.”
