Eddie Bliss admitted that she reposted unverified information from a blog without checking its authenticity. This reportedly caused distress to Mercy Johnson's family.
In a video message posted on her TikTok account, she expressed regret for her actions and thanked Mercy Johnson for choosing to drop the charges despite the harm caused.
"This is an apology message to the family of Mr. and Mrs. Prince Henry Okoje, Mercy Johnson's family. So I came across a post on a blog online called Cutie Jules. I picked the post and I posted it on my page without verifying the information and apparently that particular video caused a lot of harm and hurt to the family of Mr and Mrs Prince Okoje."
She explained that her intention was never malicious but acknowledged the damage done.
Bliss pleaded for forgiveness and promised never to post defamatory content about the actress or her family again.
"I am sincerely sorry for whatever damage I must have caused the family. I didn't have any ulterior motive. There was no ill intention towards it. Ma, find a place in your heart to forgive me. I am begging with folded hands. I also want to use this opportunity to say thank you so much, Ma, for dropping the charges against me."
She also appreciated Johnson’s decision to let go of the case, saying that it was a relief for her and her loved ones.
"I really do appreciate it. You don't know what you've done for I and my family. Thank you so much, Ma. God bless you. Bless your family and whatever it is that you're praying for me, all your heart desires be granted. I hereby promise to never, ever post any defamatory content about you or your family ever again.
This will be the last of it and I've also learnt my lesson. Thank you so much, Ma. God bless you and have a good night's rest"
Mercy Johnson had earlier warned that false claims against her family would not be tolerated.
However, she explained that she dropped the case out of respect for those who appealed to her, even though the allegations had caused pain.
