Olori Tobi's notable absence did not go unnoticed, and critics wasted no time in pointing fingers at her.
Rather than address the situation directly, she took to her Instagram story to share a string of pointed messages that many interpreted as a response to the backlash.
Olori Tobi's message to her critics
In her first post, she suggested that defending oneself to people who have already decided how they feel is a waste of energy, writing:

"Sometimes people don't have to defend your character, especially to people who already made up their minds, is pointless."
She followed that up with an even sharper observation, telling her followers to make peace with being cast as the villain in someone else's narrative.
"So get comfortable being the villain in their story, but never abandon yourself trying to rewrite it," she wrote.
Her final message drove the point home further, noting that those who criticise often do so to validate feelings they have already decided to hold.
"What they said fit the description of how they want to feel about you; they dont need your side of the story," she added.
