“I Was Bullied in the House, People Only Started Noticing Later” – Uyanda Opens Up About His Emotional Journey on BBMzansi Season 5
Former Big Brother Mzansi (BBMzansi) Season 5 housemate Uyanda recently shared heartfelt insights about the difficult experience he endured during his time on the show.
In a recent live session, Uyanda openly revealed that he was bullied by some of the other housemates — a reality that many viewers only became aware of later in the season.
Uyanda expressed:
> “I was bullied in the house, people only started noticing later,”
a statement full of deep emotion and pain. He recounted moments when he felt isolated, misunderstood, and sometimes coldly treated by his fellow housemates.
Big Brother is known for its intense competition and high psychological pressure.
Contestants live in a confined space, constantly watched by millions of viewers. In this environment, even small conflicts can become significant emotional wounds.
Uyanda was one of the contestants who silently endured these pressures, largely unnoticed until he chose to speak out.
After Uyanda shared his story, many fans and viewers expressed sympathy and strong support.
Numerous people sent messages of encouragement and praised his courage in speaking out about such a difficult subject.
Many viewers also called on the show’s producers to implement better mental health protections for contestants and to prevent bullying or isolation from going unnoticed.
Bullying in reality TV shows is not a new issue but is often hidden or inadequately addressed. Many contestants choose to remain silent to protect their image or avoid eviction, which can severely impact their mental health and post-show lives.
Psychologists warn that the stressful, competitive environment inside the house can foster bullying behaviors that cause long-lasting harm. Therefore, raising awareness and building support systems for contestants is crucial.
## Conclusion
Uyanda’s story is not only a reminder of the challenges contestants face on reality TV but also a powerful call to pay greater attention to their mental well-being. His bravery in speaking out helps the community better understand the hidden struggles behind the glamour of television.
We hope that BBMzansi producers and similar shows will take concrete steps to create a safe, healthy, and supportive environment for contestants so they do not suffer psychological harm during their participation.
