Nelisa, a housemate of the Big Brother Titans (BBTitans) show, has finally laid to rest whether she went intimate with Mmeli, saying “we had a sexual relationship”.

“We had a sexual relationship. We had sex. I had a sexual attraction with Mmeli. I had an emotional attraction for him which led to a sexual attraction but I realized he just had a sexual attraction for me,” she said.

Mmeli has been avoiding Nelisa since the incident, which led to Yaya confronting him and reminding him that it was wrong to ignore Nelisa after they had been intimate.

TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that Saturday night featured two female BBTitans housemates (Nana and Nelisa) sharing a kiss after their party.

Miracle and Ebubu who was with them at the dining area were shocked as Nana and Nelisa locked their lips.

Mmeli appeared to have been avoiding Nelisa since the erotical encounter, prompting Yaya to confront him.

Expressing her disappointment during a chat with Nmeli, Yaya said he was wrong to have ignored Nelisa after sleeping with her.

“You are wrong for sleeping with that girl and treating her the way you are treating her right now. She is someone’s child, you shouldn’t have slept with her, you are wrong. And I’m disappointed in the way you’re handling the situation.

”I’m not saying you should chase after her, but the way you are going about it is what I don’t approve of.”

Recall that Nelisa had earlier, during their truth-or-dare game, admitted that she is attracted to Mmeli.

However, Mmeli, while speaking with Blue Aiva, shared his own side of the story,

Apparently, he regretted getting intimate with Nelisa immediately after it happened.

Also, he noted that Nelisa became suddenly loud and bold the next day, as though she was trying to rub it in Sandra’s face and he did not like that.
