Nollywood actress Moyo Lawal has returned to social media five months after stepping away from the public eye.
In an emotional video shared on her page, the actress, who marked her birthday today, addressed the reasons behind her prolonged absence and spoke openly about the leaked intimate video involving her former partner that circulated online last year.
Lawal explained that the incident deeply affected her emotionally and mentally, forcing her to withdraw from social media and public engagements to focus on healing and self-reflection. She noted that the period away was necessary for her personal well-being and growth.
While refraining from going into explicit details, the actress emphasized that the video was shared without her consent and described the experience as one of the most challenging moments of her life. She also thanked her supporters who stood by her during the difficult period.
Lawal’s return has since drawn widespread reactions from fans and colleagues, many of whom praised her courage for speaking out and wished her well as she begins a new chapter.
The actress concluded the video by encouraging empathy, kindness, and understanding, particularly toward individuals facing private struggles in the public space.
