Nollywood actress and producer Bimbo Ademoye has dismissed allegations that her emotional display on social media are calculated attempts to promote her new movie.
The accusation followed a recent movie posted on her YouTube channel and a video on her social media page discussing issues with the project’s upload.
In response, a user, named Damola claimed that Ademoye’s recurrent story of overcoming obstacles lacked believability and that the film was “tiring.”
“Bimbo Ademoye dropping a video with puffy red eyes on her film’s release day, talking about how the devil is trying to test her. The script is so tiring at this point,” he wrote.
Reacting to the users comment, Ademoye stressed that she invested significant effort and resources into her film production and that it’s unfair to suggest she relies on emotional tactics.

“Don’t do that. Am I supposed to be battling people over stealing my film title and thumbnail? Do you think I just pick people’s pictures and merge them? I organise proper photoshoots.
“I still pay for thumbnails and posters, only for someone to steal my hard work. Then someone says this is a strategy. What bloody strategy?
“I have people who sacrifice their time and energy for me. Nobody sleeps. So you now think the way I would promote my film is to cry?” she said.
Ademoye further stated that she had dealt with a number of manufacturing difficulties in private without appealing to the public.
She claims that she is still dedicated to doing her best and that expressing sympathy or tears would be detrimental to her diligence.
The actress refuted accusations that she seeks sympathy or use emotional outbursts as a marketing ploy by highlighting her strength and commitment to her work.
“There was a restriction on Ruse that we had to call Google to resolve. I didn’t come online to complain; I handled it myself. Then ‘Fame and Fury’ and ‘Homecoming’ went well. Even with ‘Broken Hallelujah’, I went through a lot, but I didn’t come online to cry,” she added.
“I was supposed to produce six movies last year, but I only did four due to certain challenges.
“This is not unnecessary, because it’s only a matter of time before people start to believe that I come online to seek pity. I am a very strong woman; I don’t need pity.
“I do all of this to give my best, so do you think I would use tears to water down everything I’ve been through? Be careful.”
