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.”

Actress Moyo Lawal has expressed her disappointment over the actions of some service providers and individuals who share unauthorised explicit content.

According to her, those in the service industry should maintain a professional attitude without emotional outbursts.

Lawal also condemned the sharing of unauthorised nude content, particularly for clickbait or to humiliate the individual in the material.

According to her, such behavior shows a lack of empathy and human decency.

She questioned the upbringing of people who engage in this kind of malicious behavior and criticised those who justify such acts based on how a person dresses.

Moyo Lawal emphasised the need for better values and training at home, as well as anger management, to prevent hurt and angry individuals from lashing out.

She also pointed out the hypocrisy of being both malicious and religious, highlighting the need for a more empathetic and professional society. 

Lawal wrote, “What is it about some service providers not understanding that if you are in the service industry, you have to actually serve and not be so prone to emotional displays?

“Then the set of people who are so comfortable sharing nuudity that was not authorised just for clickbait and to humiliate the party in the material. Who are the people raising this kind of malicious person? Let’s not even talk about the sick people who share and save such materials. Those ones are not loved at home.

“Like I promise you, it doesn’t matter what someone has done to you don’t you have human decency? don’t you have empathy? Then the set of people who try to justify how a person dresses or was dressed as justification for such an act, whew, the majority of us are not getting trained at home.

“We honestly need to find a way to include anger management in our lives, so many hurt and angry people just waiting to explode.”

“If you easily get provoked, please do not do a service job. How are we generally so malicious yet so religious?”
