Why I allowed him to record me – Actress Moyo Lawal speaks on leaked tape

Famous Nigerian actress, Moyo Lawal, has reassured her fans that she is still waxing strong despite the leaking of her private tape last month.

The movie star who revealed that the man in the video clip is her ex-fiancé, earlier stated that she planned to take legal action against whoever leaked it.

Taking to her Instagram page on Sunday, Moyo revealed that she agreed for him to capture her on camera her because he had already ”started recording after the fact”.

She also said that she trusted him because he put in a lot of work earning her trust to the extent that they were talking about getting a house together and marriage.

Lawal wrote; “Until a lioness tells her story , every hunter will continue to be a hero . People always take quiet,non problematic people as fools . However, I think it is time for me to start talking.

One thing I can tell you for a fact however is that things are never what they seem to be. I only had xxx twice last year , one of those times is the video. That I agreed to because he started recording after the fact, he doesn’t live in Nigeria, he put in a lot of work winning my trust over the years and I mean a lot. So much so, we were already working towards a house, marriage and all. That is why I had to break up with him last year, when I started having communication challenges with him, because I put my entire life on pause with any man I am dating.

I have not made so many sacrifices by turning down so many dating offers , sleeping alone 90% of my entire adult life , choosing to be alone .. to have an ugly video that happened when I was ill, hanging over my head ( meanwhile to the set of unbelievers who actually thought that video was released by me , because of a foolish narrative that started because I didn’t point fingers or start trash talking or blaming anyone and stayed quiet to end it all quickly …. … I honestly don’t know what to tell you )

P.s They say what doesn’t kill you makea you stronger and changes you . I pray I become carefree and outgoing because doing life the right way has shown my enemy shege.”

The filmmaker also addressed claims on social media that she intentionally released the bedroom video for publicity.

“Meanwhile, to the set of unbelievers who thought I released that video because of a foolish narrative that started because I didn’t point fingers or start trash-talking or blaming anyone and stayed quiet to end it all quickly, I honestly don’t know what to tell you.

“They say what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger and changes you. I pray I become carefree and outgoing because doing life the right way has shown my enemies shege.

“Whoever orchestrated this move to drive my enemy insvne and end her career, I just said to tell you, I haven’t lost my faith; I am still standing, striving, thriving, and well taken care of,” she said.
