A heated exchange between two veteran socialites, Vera Sidika and Huddah Monroe, has ignited social media. This comes after Huddah berated reality shows and questioned the value they offer viewers, sparking a sharp response from Vera, who didn’t hold back in calling out her hypocrisy.
Huddah Monroe Criticizes Reality Shows
Huddah took to her Instagram to express disdain for reality shows, labeling them as content that fails to educate or add value to viewers.
“I wish there was more to reality TV than just war and party. The agenda is to dumb society. There can never be anything to elevate the minds and pockets of people,” she said.
Huddah went on to question the impact such shows have on people’s lives. “In all honesty, after watching all these reality shows, how did it change your life? Did you learn anything? Did it have an impact on your life in any way?”
She concluded by stating she would rather watch videos of animals than indulge in reality TV or YouTube vlogs centered on other people’s lives.
Vera Sidika’s Response
Vera Sidika, known for her unapologetic personality, fired back at Huddah through her Instagram Stories, reminding her that she once participated in a reality show that failed to gain traction.
“How does someone claim to hate reality TV so much yet was in one 10 years ago? Oh, and being evicted five days later is nasty work,” Vera quipped, referencing Huddah’s stint on Big Brother Africa.
She further criticized Huddah for judging viewers of reality shows, saying, “Judging people for watching reality shows ain’t crazy much? Yet you have been in one before, and it backfired. Make it make sense. Better yet, just be quiet and mind your business.”
Reality Show Drama Continues
The feud comes at a time when reality shows are gaining traction across Africa. In a related incident, Ugandan socialite Zari Hassan suggested Vera Sidika and Tanzanian artist Zuchu join Netflix’s Young, Famous & African for their flair and drama.
Meanwhile, Vera remains unapologetic about her stance, emphasizing the entertainment value of reality shows and dismissing criticism from detractors like Huddah.
While Huddah Monroe raises valid points about the educational value of reality shows, her comments have reopened discussions about her own involvement in such productions. Whether entertainment or educational value is the priority, one thing is certain: the drama off-screen is just as gripping as what unfolds in reality shows.
