Nollywood actor Jide Awobona has called out some of his colleagues for engaging in online mockery, subtle jabs, and spreading unverified claims about fellow entertainers.
Taking to his Instagram page, the actor expressed his disappointment over the way some actors quickly join comment sections to ridicule or throw shades at other creatives.
Jide described the trend as troubling, noting that it is unfortunate that some individuals engage in gossip and create false narratives without having the facts. He further criticized those who take such rumours to blogs with the intention of tarnishing another person’s image and reputation.
The actor urged people in the entertainment industry to show more support and avoid actions that could negatively affect their colleagues.
His words…
“I’m always amazed when people who call themselves actors jump into comment sections to shade or mock other actors/creatives at large.
It’s bad enough that some of them gossip and even fabricate stories when they don’t have the facts, all in the attempt to tarnish someone’s image out of envy or spite. Some even go so far as to send these stories to blogs, hoping to damage another person’s reputation.
But having the confidence to join the trolling publicly? That’s the part I find most disturbing.
As creatives, we should understand the work, the sacrifices, the emotions, and the mental health this profession demands. If your contributions are constantly tearing down your colleagues, you’re not acting like a creative. You’re behaving like an audience member, a fan, a hater, or a troll”.
