BBNaija Reunion: Joanna recounts alleged ‘one-night stand’ with Jason

Former Big Brother Naija Season 10 housemate Joanna has debunked her colleague Jason Jae’s claim of having a “one-night stand” with her in Biggie’s house.

DAILY POST recalls that Joanna and Jason had an intimate moment the night before her eviction, but the camera shifted, leaving viewers obvious of what transpired between them.

Jason Jae claimed in a post-show interview that the incident was a “one-night stand.” 

However, speaking in the second episode of the reunion aired on Tuesday night, Joanna debunked the claims, saying nothing intimate happened between them.

She said she noticed Jason was “hard as a rock” and tried to cover him up but he went out and insinuated that they had a one-night stand.

“The very first interview Jason Jae had, he claimed that the incident was a ‘one-night thing’. I was shocked like, ‘Are you a baby?’

“I was sleeping when he came to my bed. I was very emotional because it was the night Thelma got evicted. I woke up to see him in my bed. He was hard as rock. I noticed it, and I tried to cover him up. Only for him to go out and say we had a one-night stand,” Joanna lamented. 

Jason later apologised to Joanna for insinuating that he had a one-night stand with her, but maintained that he was never interested in her romantically, contrary to her claim that he wanted her as a rebound from Dede’s rejection, but she refused.
