Actress Regina Askia is concerned that additional diversions overshadow the true issue in the recent dispute between crossdresser Bobrisky and social media critic VeryDarkMan (VDM).
Regina wrote in a social media post on Tuesday that while renowned lawyer Femi Falana has every right to file a defamation suit against VeryDarkMan or resolve the problem in any way he sees fit, the main concerns that sparked the defamatory words appear to have been overlooked.
She shared her concerns, saying, “VDM has been ordered to pay N500 million.” But what happens to the individual who earned N15 million?
Earlier this week, an Ikeja High Court ruled that VeryDarkMan must delete his defamatory posts about the Falana family and that the family should serve him the defamation suit through his lawyer, Deji Adeyanju.
The actress in response to the ruling had shared her stance, stating that the judgment was “cruel and unusual”
Regina’s comment led to a backlash from individuals who disagreed with her viewpoint, accusing her of promoting a negative narrative in the case.
In response to the criticism, Regina defended her stance, arguing that VeryDarkMan is being made a scapegoat while the key issues, including the revelations from the audiotape he shared seem to be swept under the rug.
She also questioned why no one is pursuing the person who made the claims in the audiotape, suggesting that the focus of the controversy has shifted away from the real problem.
