Nollywood actress Eniola Ajao has opened up about a tough period when a false rumor nearly drove her to self-harm. Speaking on the show Nollywood on Radio, Ajao revealed that the hurtful news left her devastated, causing her to go seven days without eating and avoid going out. She said it was the most painful experience she had ever faced.
During this difficult time, Ajao’s family stepped in to support her. Her son reached out to others to explain the impact the false story had on her, while her sisters encouraged her to stay strong and not harm herself. The intense emotional toll also affected her work, making it hard for her to focus on her next film project.
Looking back, Ajao said she tries not to dwell on that period, as it brings back painful memories. She expressed gratitude for the support of her loved ones, who helped her through the ordeal, and shared her hope that others understand the real harm fake news can cause.
