Opeyemi Aiyeola, the Nollywood actress has opened up on the reason she lashed out at her colleague Eniola Badmus who mocked her hairline.
Recall that, Eniola via Instagram left a comment under Opeyemi’s post asking, “Opeyemi, where is your hairline?” The comment sparked outrage from fans and triggered Opeyemi’s reaction.
In response, the veteran actress called out Eniola, describing her as hypocritical and insensitive, especially because she had also been mocked in the past over her body before undergoing surgery.
“You are an animal… You think beauty is about physical appearance? You are ignorant,” Opeyemi wrote in response. The actress continued to call out Eniola, even though, the latter apologised, claiming it was a joke.
Speaking in an interview with Oyinmomo TV, Opeyemi revealed that Eniola has never liked or celebrated her on social media. She also recalled a brief encounter with the Omo Ghetto actress at the candlelight ceremony for late actor Murphy Afolabi, where they only exchanged greetings.
“We know ourselves; we might not talk on phones, we know those liking our comments, and we know ourselves liking and commenting on each other’s posts. Since the day I opened my social media post, you’ve never liked my post or celebrated me, and I’ve never done the same to you, and we are not enemies. May Murphy Afolabi rest in peace,” she said.
“When he passed, I went to his candlelight vigil and saw Eniola, whom we greeted each other, but this is social media, and Eniola knows how it works. You said my hair is balding, meanwhile, almost a week before the video I made, social media bad belles have been making bad comments, and I don’t fight people or correct people as long as it didn’t deduct money from my account. You now, went under my comment and said ‘Opeyemi, where is your hairline?’ I wasn’t pained by the comment honestly until people went under her comment to mock me, see honestly we all see each other’s comments, forget that ‘somebody is too busy’, no one is too busy.”
