Big Brother Naija All Stars housemate, Cross Okonkwo has taken a stand in defense of his fellow contestant, Ilebaye, after she was accused of disrespect by their colleague, Alex Unusual.
KanyiDaily had earlier reported how another housemate, Ike Onyema, resorted to an unconventional method to provoke Ilebaye, possibly aiming for her disqualification.
Ike scattered her belongings throughout their communal living area, but Ilebaye chose to rise above his provocation, maintaining her composure and refraining from reacting.
After Ike was issued a strike by Big Brother, Alex while speaking with Cross attributed the adversities faced by Ilebaye to her behavior and lack of respect in the BBNaija house.
“Ike is wrong but Ilebaye is not even close to being a saint. Yesterday, she snatched water from Seyi’s wardrobe,” Alex stated.
In his response, Cross presents a counterpoint by suggesting that Ilebaye’s conduct could be attributed to her youth and relative inexperience in navigating social dynamics.
“She’s just a baby,” he said, and Alex highlighted a particular incident where Ilebaye reportedly snatched a water container from her hand and fetched another.
Alex added, “When I was 21, I did not behave like that. She doesn’t understand respect in any way and it’s fine. Yesterday, she literally snatched water from my hand and went to bring another one.”

KanyiDaily recalls that BBNaija housemate, Cynthia Nwadiora, popularly known as CeeC, also expressed relief that Ilebaye was not disqualified from the show following their clash.
