Nollywood actress and entrepreneur, Lizzy Anjorin, has responded to claims suggesting she is envious of the recent wedding involving Priscilla, daughter of fellow actress Iyabo Ojo.
The mother of two initially made a statement comparing her own wedding in 2020 to that of Priscilla, which prompted social media users to resurface a video of Anjorin’s wedding for comparison.
In response to the growing backlash, Anjorin released a video on her Instagram page where she directly addressed those accusing her of harboring jealousy.
In the video, she mentioned specific individuals behind the rumours and rejected the narrative, saying, “Gistlover had nothing bad to say about the wedding and there has been no negative narrative about the bride, so she cannot hate on them.”
Anjorin went on to commend Priscilla, stating that she is “on her lane” and “focused,” while also praising her for working hard to achieve her goals. “Priscilla has raised her shoulder-high and worked on what she wanted in life,” she added.
The actress also alleged that a woman named Dewunmi and an individual identified as Fatai were behind the false stories circulating about her. She issued curses on them as well as on bloggers spreading negative content about her.
Continuing her remarks, Anjorin said the hatred directed at her stems from things said by Gistlover. She concluded by saying the attention she has received from the controversy has only elevated her. “I enjoy the attention many have given me because it has lifted me above all the hate,” she stated.
It is worth noting that Lizzy Anjorin and Iyabo Ojo have a history of public disputes. Their strained relationship has played out online, and Anjorin was recently served court papers related to her statements, even in her absence from home.
