Episode 10 of “The Real Housewives of Lagos” has delivered a compelling blend of drama, emotion, and brief moments of levity.
The episode kicked off with Diadem, founder of Beauty By AD, and Dabota, founder of Dabota Cosmetics and philanthropist, offering glimpses into their personal lives, setting a seemingly lighthearted tone.
However, the anticipated paintball session quickly revealed the underlying tensions simmering beneath the surface.
While most of the housewives engaged in the paintball activity, Carolyna remained noticeably distant, perhaps a lingering attempt at maintaining a cordial front.
Despite encouragement from the entrepreneur and content creator, Mariam Timmer and Sophia Momodu, fashion entrepreneur and socialite, the underlying friction persisted, a fact underscored by Diiadem’s candid diary session where she labeled Carolyna an “attention seeker” and expressed a desire for distance.
The simmering animosity reached a boiling point at Sophia Momodu’s dinner party. Actor and businesswoman, Carolyna Hutching’s late arrival and deliberate snub of Dabota and Diiadem signaled a dramatic shift in her demeanor. It was during this charged dinner that Carolyna delivered the now-famous line: “The only mistake I made was being nice from the onset.” This statement became the catalyst for her subsequent dramatic exit at the dinner table.
The paintball session, initially intended to ease tensions, ultimately highlighted the deep-seated conflicts between the women. Carolyna’s initial hesitation and fleeting participation proved to be a mere momentary truce.
The episode’s climax centered on Carolyna’s walkout, a direct consequence of the unresolved conflicts, particularly Diiadem’s open hostility and Carolyna’s perceived “mistake” of initial kindness. This explosive departure left viewers eagerly anticipating the next chapter in the unfolding drama.
