By Oluwapelumi Oluwayemi

Evicted “Big Brother Naija: No Loose Guard” housemate Rhuthee has shared a deeply personal revelation, revealing that she became pregnant at just 16 years old.

In an emotional interview with Hero Daniels, the 32-year-old discussed the huge challenges and criticisms she faced during that period of her life.

Rhuthee described her teenage pregnancy as the “most challenging phase” of her life, citing harsh judgment from others who were unaware of her circumstances.

Despite the difficulties, she expressed gratitude for her daughter, whom she describes as “the best thing that ever happened” to her.

Reflecting on her experiences, Rhuthee noted,

“When I was pregnant at 16, it was the most challenging phase of my life because people judged me for not even knowing my story. And till today, I still have to deal with it, even when I know now that I’m blessed beyond measure because my daughter is the best thing that ever happened to me.”

She also shared her perspective on public perception, stating, “You don’t have to be loved by everyone; you don’t have to put yourself in a position where you have to draw attention or some sort of bond with people. I feel it should be natural because a lot of people were against me even without knowing my story.”
