Christall Kay is no stranger to drama, but being at the centre of the whirlwind on "The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls: Africa" has been something else entirely.
From backstabbing co-stars to fiery confrontations, Kay is opening up about what it’s really like behind the cameras.
One of Africa’s most talked-about reality franchises, "The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Africa", brings together Housewives from across the continent, including Durban and Johannesburg in South Africa, Nairobi in Kenya, and Abuja and Lagos in Nigeria.
Kay, a seasoned star, shares her perspective on the conflicts, her co-stars, and the viewers’ reception this season.
When asked how she keeps her cool in the heat of reality-show battles, the reality star doesn’t hold back.
“I guess I remain as detached as possible in moments when the ladies are coming for me. There was no way they could have that much venom and hatred for me because they didn’t know me from a bar of soap. They had only seen me on TV and in my previous seasons, and if they were basing it on that, then it certainly wasn’t real emotion. However, over the duration of the show and the way I stood my ground, it really got to them that they didn’t see me sink into the floor. I held my composure and gave it back in a way that made them realise they shouldn’t be messing with me. I am always confident in my ability to defend myself and show others when they are in the wrong.”
She also weighed in on what makes a Housewife truly unforgettable:
“The perfect Housewife is a woman who has style, class, confidence in herself, charisma, personality, and the ability to stand up for herself. Most importantly, she has great character and is real.”
There has also been public interest in her relationship status following the Brazil shoot.
“I did meet a nice guy in Rio, and he introduced me to a lot of lovely spots and beaches. However, we were more like friends, so I wouldn’t say I found romance with him. On the very last day in Rio, when I had some time off and went up to the beach, I met the most beautiful man, but nothing came of it because I had to leave for South Africa the next morning.”
Speaking about the fans she said: “This season, the public was more on my side than they ever have been. The support I received from all races, all genders, and all nationalities, as well as from celebrities, was quite overwhelming. It has given me hope to know that people really do care and that they have a sense of justice.”
