The reality star revealed that she ultimately ended the relationship after receiving threats from her ex-lover’s mother and sisters to get out of it in a recent interview with media personality Hero Daniels.
She claimed that after ending the relationship, she learned she was pregnant and contacted her ex-lover; nevertheless, he told her it was her “business.”
Because of her future aspirations and the “embarrassment was too much,” she claimed to have aborted the foetus.
“After leaving, I returned home to discover I was expecting a child. Phyna remembered, “I phoned him, and he said that’s my business.
“The shame was too great for me to bear, even though I would have longed to retain the child. I thought I had a bright future and knew it was going to pull me back, so I was left to make the hardest decision of my life because not a single member in the family wanted a Christian.
