Cee-c’s Actions In The House Is Making Her A Better Person – Lydia Forson

Big Brother Naija show has reached it last day of voting and all celebrities are trying to campaign for their favourite housemate, persuading their fans to vote for them, but actress Lydia Forson has taken it another way with Cee-C.

The Ghanaian actress took to her Instagram page, and revealed why she is attracted to Cee-c and how Cee-C‘s personal battles reflects some of the realities many viewers deal with.

“What people don’t appreciate is while you’re entertained, these housemates are confined to a space , forced to interact with people they’d never in the outside world and pushed to limits only those who’ve been a part can appreciate,” she wrote.

She continued, “For those who stay true to themselves they’re forced to come face to face with who they really are, stare at the ugliest parts of themselves and made to confront them in the rawest way. It’s probably the hardest thing for anyone who’s never had to be vulnerable or this exposed, to do. And this is why I was drawn to Cee-C, it had nothing to do with how entertaining I thought she was. Some of her actions were inexcusable and I found myself screaming at her through the television a few times; but I appreciated that she was flawed, had struggles and was working through them, even if it wasn’t at a pace people expected.”

The comment came two days after she attacked Tobi with hurting words in the house, an action she later regretted and apologised for,which, however had affected her image and perception as many viewers, including celebrities like Toolz and Kemi Adetiba, launched a campaign against her.

But Lydia Forson has refused to give up on Cee-C, and it is why she has put out this statement, making her readers know that the housemate’s actions, thought repulsive, is part of her journey to becoming a better person.

I love Big brother because it forces us to have conversations we’d usually never have and expose our own understanding of people and the world around us. Last year it was on sexual consent and this year is on anger management. What people don’t appreciate is while you’re entertained, these housemates are confined to a space , forced to interact with people they’d never in the outside world and pushed to limits only those who’ve been a part can appreciate. For those who stay true to themselves they’re forced to come face to face with who they really are, stare at the ugliest parts of themselves and made to confront them in the rawest way. It’s probably the hardest thing for anyone who’s never had to be vulnerable or this exposed, to do. And this is why I was drawn to Cee-C, it had nothing to do with how entertaining I thought she was. Some of her actions were inexcusable and I found myself screaming at her through the television a few times; but I appreciated that she was flawed, had struggles and was working through them, even if it wasn’t at a pace people expected. Many people recognize themselves in her struggle,a part of our lives cameras don’t always capture, a battle with strong emotions and self control- and we appreciated her journey. And that’s why it’s been disheartening to read from people who I know DO NOT have it all together; but quick to join in to call her animal, unfit to live and a mental case( exposing your own ignorance about the real battle of mental disorders). If your prescription to a crazy person is to act crazy yourself then you both need to be locked up. And no, this is not a campaign, because her winning the money doesn’t mean much to me;the winners of these shows aren’t always the ones with fat bank accounts after- that doesn’t always last- it’s those who take what the experience put them through and see the gold that it is to be better after. Hopefully she’s made us reflect a little more on our lives, how we’re perceived by the world and what we can do to become better. You might think you’ve got it all together until you have a camera follow you around for 24hrs.
