#BBNaija: Post Mercy-and-Tacha Fight, and Tacha Fans Are Dragging In Lesbianism As A Smear Tactic Against Mercy

When all fails, villainize homosexuality. It is a formula that almost always works for Nigerians. Following the animosity that boiled over into a fight between Big Brother housemates Tacha and Mercy – which culminated into the disqualification of Tacha – the fans took to the social media to jubilate and tear down. While there has been a majority of exultation over Tacha’s misfortunes, the much-villainized housemate’s fans were not in short supply of ways to fight back against the national antagonism.

And one of such ways apparently was to introduce Exhibit A of Mercy’s supposed lesbianism: the kiss she shared with another female housemate.

Because to kiss a girl is just as evil and as comparable as whatever bad behavior Tacha was known for in the House.

I never know Diane and mercy are Lesbians ??? And she's busy insulting Tacha… Watch and share till the whole world sees it @Aaron_Zamani #BBNaija #BBNaija2019 #MercyLambo #tacha pic.twitter.com/XvjIBNvJ9a

Fortunately, Twitter was not about to let this gaslighting fly.
