    Actress Moyo Lawal breaks silence on leaked tape, blames ex-partner

    Actress Moyo Lawal has broken her silence on her leaked intimate tape, revealing that her former partner blamed her for the incident.

    According to the actress, her ex-partner accused her of being responsible for the leak because she did not post him on her social media platforms, questioning whether she had ever posted anyone online.

    Speaking in a video message, Moyo said she had previously overlooked many issues because of her easygoing and fun-loving nature, but has now decided to make a conscious change in her life.

    She disclosed that she is choosing a new path rooted in virtue and personal growth, describing it as a fresh chapter with a renewed sense of purpose.

    The actress invited her fans to join her on what she called a new adventure, promising a different character, outlook, and direction going forward.

    Moyo Lawal also addressed the stigma often associated with leaked intimate content, stressing that the shame does not belong to her. 

    She encouraged others who may have gone through similar experiences not to feel ashamed or defined by such incidents.

    “To me, entertainers should be seen and not heard, and as a thespian, no matter what is happening in your reality, the show must always go on.

    “There is a narrative that I posted this intimate part of my life. I refuse to allow this narrative to stick with me forever, and most importantly, I have had a few girls reach out to me who were in similar situations, and they keep telling me that they will off themselves. Some of them are being threatened, and I need them to understand that this shame is not theirs to carry, nor is it their fault. You never really know somebody until you threaten to leave them.

    “In my own case, he told me it was my fault, that this happened because I refused to post about him on my social media. Have I ever posted anyone on my socials? He said that if he couldn’t have me, then nobody else would ever want me again.

    “I have always had this ability to overlook things because I have always had such fun characters. I am flipping the switch. I have decided to live a virtuous life.

    “The worst has already happened to me. Posting thirst traps is nothing; it is different from my reality. I have always lived my life like a married woman whose husband was out.

    “I am flipping the switch and looking forward to an entirely new character and adventure, and I hope you’ll go on this adventure with me and not judge me a bit too much.”

    Movie in the Park ended 2025 on a high note as more than 10,000 movie enthusiasts attended its four events, culminating in a vibrant outdoor cinema experience in Ibadan, Oyo State.

    The final event, held on December 13, 2025, featured a screening of a classic early-2000s Nollywood movie, delighting longtime fans and introducing younger audiences to a defining era of Nigerian storytelling. 

    Families, friends, couples, and film lovers filled the park, creating a communal atmosphere of laughter, nostalgia, and shared memories.

    The evening extended beyond the movie screening into a lively after-party, where music, conversations, and celebration continued late into the night, further enhancing the sense of community that defined the event.

    Speaking on the success of the Ibadan edition, Ihechi Opara, organiser of Movie in the Park, expressed excitement over the turnout and the emotional connection the event fostered. 

    “What we witnessed in Ibadan was beyond a movie night. It was a powerful gathering of people reconnecting—with Nollywood, with memories, and with one another,” he said.

    Opara added that the overwhelming response reinforced the vision behind the project. 

    “Our goal with Movie in the Park is to create experiences people never knew they were missing—spaces where friends and families can bond, relax, and enjoy quality entertainment together. The love we received in Ibadan tells us we are on the right path,” he noted.

    Building on this success, Opara announced plans to take Movie in the Park on a national tour in 2026, with outdoor movie festivals scheduled in at least ten states across Nigeria. 

    “Next year, we are expanding across the country, giving more Nigerians the opportunity to enjoy a superb outdoor movie experience that brings people together in a way that feels simple, warm, and unforgettable,” he said.

    With its combination of nostalgia, community engagement, and accessible entertainment, Movie in the Park continues to position itself as one of Nigeria’s most anticipated outdoor cultural experiences, redefining how audiences connect with film beyond traditional cinema settings.
