Nollywood Actress, Ini Edo Says She Once Confronted Publisher Who Wrote Fake News About Her

Popular Nollywood Actress, Ini Edo, has recounted how she once confronted a magazine publisher whose medium kept writing and publishing wrong news about her.

She stated this in an exclusive interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo, which he posted on his official Instagram handle on Sunday night.

She said, “I actually remember going to one person’s office to ask him, ‘Oga, did I do something wrong?’ Because this is getting out of hand. Like every day this, every day that.

“He said, ‘Ini there are so many of your colleagues that if we put their stories out, people are not interested. You sell our newspaper. So if you don’t give us stories to write about you, we would find something.’

“I kid you not, that’s what the publisher of a magazine told me. ‘So if I can’t find something on you…if I put you on my cover today, I sell out and that’s my business. So if you don’t want people digging things that are not true, give us stories to write.’

“It was at that point that I said, you know what, it’s your hustle, it’s not about me. I realised that trying to sue this one, trying to sue that one was draining me, taking my energy, distracting me, I was getting depressed and I said you know what?… it is what it is. The jobs and endorsements kept coming and I’m like, if you guys want to peg me as a sex symbol just to sell your papers and I’m still getting my jobs and endorsements, be my guest.”

Meanwhile, Kanyi Daily reported that the actress said recently in an interview that she regretted getting married.

Answering questions on if she regretted getting married or will do it again, she said, “Yes I did because it just wasn’t the right move for me.
