The Big Brother Naija star made the remarks on Wednesday via her X account, where she challenged the practice of labelling unmarried women with children as promiscuous.

Tacha said the same society that condemns single mothers often celebrates their own mothers who raised children alone as strong and admirable.

She questioned the contradiction in a post that quickly gained traction online.

Her comments triggered widespread reactions, with many social media users sharing personal experiences and condemning the shaming of single mothers.

Some users noted that individuals raised by single mothers were among the most vocal critics of women in similar situations.

Others argued that cultural double standards continue to protect familiar faces while harshly judging women outside personal circles.
