Actress Mo Bimpe has called out bloggers for spreading false claims about a viral video of her in tears on social media.
A report had claimed the 28-year-old broke down emotionally after being mocked by a troll over her inability to conceive, more than three years after marrying fellow actor Lateef Adedimeji.
In the video, which went viral on TikTok, Bimpe is seen crying while a Muslim song plays in the background. The lyrics of the song speak about a barren woman being mocked for her childlessness.
Reacting on her Instagram Story on Tuesday night, the actress stated that the clip was taken from a movie set.
She explained that she has been receiving an overwhelming number of direct messages over the misleading video, despite the fact that she is simply acting in it.
“I usually don’t do this, but the DMs are becoming overbearing,” she wrote.
Mo Bimpe cursed those circulating the video to mislead her followers and insisted she would never share personal struggles online.
“All of you who are circulating my location/set videos for traffic on your page on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, it shall never be well with every one of you.
“May you have reasons to cry, and may your family cry over you. You will never have peace as you have decided to deceive my followers, fans, and supporters with your fake news.
“I don’t know what you are thinking, but I am very fine! I will not have any reason to cry or share my private matters on social media. If you see any video of me crying, then it’s obviously work!
“Location pictures! Set videos! At least y’all know I’m an actress! How do you believe every piece of fake news these foolish blogs feed you? Please stop coming to my DM with stuffs like this biko! Love y’all.”
Last year, Lateef Adedimeji addressed similar issues in an interview with Chude Jideonwo.
He revealed that he had proposed to Mo Bimpe over the phone and admitted she often faces online trolling for not having children yet. However, he noted that his wife remains unbothered by the criticism.
In February, the couple marked their third wedding anniversary. Lateef described Mo as “the most amazing woman ever” and praised her for always pushing him to achieve more.
Mo, in turn, thanked him for loving her unconditionally, saying she felt lucky to have him.
