Nigerian television host Morayo Afolabi-Brown has candidly shared her battle with depression, revealing that she even had moments of suicidal thoughts.
In an interview with Chude, Brown, who recently stepped down as host of TVC’s Your View after 12 years, explained that feeling trapped in her career contributed to her emotional struggles.
“I was depressed. At a point, I was suicidal. I walked on the express, hoping a car would hit me. It was that bad,” she confessed.
She recounted how she had long considered leaving her role to pursue a new chapter in her career but struggled to find the right path. “It was when we [TVC] were ten years that I knew that it was time [for me] to go to the next thing. I have been harbouring that thought for a while but I didn’t know how to go about it. But last year, I got that light-bulb moment,” Brown added.
Her revelation sheds light on the personal challenges media personalities can face behind the scenes, despite the outward glamour of television life.
