Popular Nollywood actress Moyo Lawal, has explained why she kept quiet over the recent leak of a private sex tape on social media.
In an Instagram post, Lawal clarified that she was not the one that leaked the explicit video.
Lawal explained that the man involved in the video had earned her trust over an extended period of time, and she had contemplated building a life together with him through marriage and a shared home.
She disclosed that the video was recorded during one of only two instances of sexual intimacy she had during the previous year and that she had only consented to it after the recording had begun.
“One thing… I can tell you for a fact however is that things are never what they seem to be. I only had sex twice last year, one of those times is the video. That I agreed to it because he started recording after the fact. He doesn’t live in Nigeria.
“He put in a lot of work winning my trust over the years and I mean a lot. So much so, we were already working towards a house, marriage and all. That is why I had to break up with him last year, when I started having communication challenges with him, because I put my entire life on pause with any man I am dating.
“I have not made so many sacrifices by turning down so many dating offers, sleeping alone 90% of my entire adult life, choosing to be alone… to have an ugly video that happened when I was ill, hanging over my head (meanwhile to the set of unbelievers who actually thought that video was released by me, because of a foolish narrative that started because I didn’t point fingers or start trash talking or blaming anyone and stayed quiet to end it all quickly… I honestly don’t know what to tell you ),” she wrote.
Lawal acknowledged the potential for personal growth and transformation from adversity, expressing her hope to become more carefree and outgoing.
