Omni Oboli Speaks Out After Being Accused of Sexualising Young Male Actors on Set

  • The talented filmmaker shot back at the accusation with a swift and dismissive response

Nollywood actress and filmmaker Omoni Oboli has clapped back at a social media user who levelled a disturbing accusation against her following a post about her upcoming project.

The drama began when Omoni took to social media to announce that ex-BBNaija Season 11 housemate Chimsom Chuka would be appearing on her channel, Omoni Oboli TV, ahead of the release of her new film.

Troll Targets Omoni Over Chimsom Post

What should have been a straightforward promotional announcement quickly turned into a flashpoint. An internet troll zeroed in on the post and fired off a loaded comment, suggesting the actress had ulterior motives for working with the young star.

The user wrote: "I hope you're not targeting to kiss this boy. That's how you use 'my son' to kiss fine boys that are looking for roles🤷‍♀️."

The comment implied that Omoni uses a maternal persona to take advantage of young male actors who are seeking opportunities in the industry — a claim that was both pointed and provocative.

Omoni Oboli Dismisses the Allegation

Omoni did not let the comment slide, but she also did not engage with any lengthy back-and-forth. Her response was brief and dismissive:

"You certainly aren't talking about me 😂."

The reply, paired with a laughing emoji, signalled that the actress had little patience for the insinuation and was unbothered by the troll's attempt to stir controversy around what she clearly views as a straightforward professional collaboration.
