This is a deeply concerning situation involving Karen Igho, the Big Brother Africa winner from 2011. According to reports, Karen has shared a video of herself in a homeless shelter and called on Nigerians for help. She initially posted about getting a divorce from her husband, Yaroslav Rakos, whom she accused of abuse and attempting to take their children by claiming she was mentally unstable. Although she later made posts thanking her husband and indicating they would work toward peaceful co-parenting, those posts were subsequently deleted, raising concerns about her well-being.
Karen, who has been a prominent figure in Nigerian entertainment since winning BBAfrica, is now seeking support through a GoFundMe account as she navigates this challenging phase of her life.
Her situation highlights the complexities many public figures face behind the scenes, even after achieving fame.
