I’m not proud of abortion I did at age 20 - Phyna

Reality star and actress, Josephina Ijeoma Otabor, popularly known as Phyna has expressed sorrow for having an abortion at a tender age while also bemoaning the large criticisms she is receiving from netizens after her disclosure.

The Nation reported a few months ago that the reality star revealed that she had an abortion and that she received a lot of backlash for both her disclosure and her opinions on the subject.

In a recent podcast with Doyin, Phyna said that she is not proud of her abortion and that she would retain the kid if she became pregnant again.

Phyna claimed that her words about every woman has had abortion once or twice were misconstrued.

Phyna disclosed that she had undergone the abortion at the time she was about 20 years old and said that the pregnancy at the time was a mistake and didn’t want it to affect her future.

She said: “I didn’t want to talk about abortion anymore because it is obvious a lot of bloggers try to twist my words to their satisfaction. This is something that happened a very long time ago, too young, as at then I think around 20 years, I knew I wanted to be somebody in life.

“It’s not something I am proud of, I mean nobody should be proud of that, but this happened while I was younger. I knew what I went through. Nobody knew what I went through, it’s not something I am proud of but let’s call a spade a spade.”
