- Mercy Johnson Okojie, a Nollywood actress, has withdrawn defamation charges against TikToker Eedie Bliss.
- The decision was made alongside her husband, Prince Okojie.
- Despite the withdrawal, Mercy Johnson issued a stern warning to Eedie Bliss.
Nollywood actress and filmmaker Mercy Johnson Okojie has confirmed that she and her husband, Prince Okojie, have withdrawn defamation charges against TikToker Eedie Bliss.
In a lengthy video recorded at a restaurant on Monday, January 19, Mercy also issued a stern warning to anyone fabricating false narratives about her and her family.
The mother of four explained that she withdrew the charges against Eedie out of the love and respect she has for people who reached out to her. She, however, revealed that she would still take legal action against others who had made allegations against her, insisting that they must provide evidence.
“Thank you for the love but I felt the need to say that it will no longer be business as usual. I had stuff I planned to do this year, and court cases are going to be a part of them because some people wouldn’t leave my family alone. When I was getting married, I don’t think I signed an NDA with anyone that we will go in there and not stay married. I got in alone; it means I have no business with anybody. There is no reason you should wake up every morning, look at me, count the years, and say you’re going to try and break this up. It’s not something that can be broken with lies and propaganda because I need no validation. I am dropping my case with this girl out of respect for people my husband and I respect,” she said.
Mercy, who claimed that the faceless blogs posting false narratives were owned by actresses or paid to do so, shared how the allegations against her had led to her kids being bullied in school. She appealed to people to leave her family alone.
“It is fine if you don’t know that these faceless bloggers are paid. Actresses, colleagues, and people who don’t like you own these blogs. You ruin a marriage, then what? I have kids who are being bullied in school because of what you write. We have parents who don’t want my kids to touch their school bags because I am a witch,” she said in part.
She also expressed appreciation to everyone who stood by her, including online critic VeryDarkMan, who had expressed gratitude to the actress for dropping charges against Eedie Bliss.
“For the love and respect we have for numerous individuals, we have decided to withdraw the charges against the lady in question. Please, you all should leave my family alone. #Nollybloggersassociationmakeunarest,” Mercy Johnson added in a caption.
