Nigerian actress Nkechi Blessing Sunday has taken to social media to share a heartfelt and emotional video, expressing her pain and frustration over losing several brand deals due to her past online controversies.
In the video, Nkechi Blessing explained that despite making a good impression on potential clients, she loses out on brand deals due to her online reputation. She attributed her past controversies to her previous romantic relationships and the subsequent online backlash.
The movie star clarified that she has never initiated online fights, but rather responds to those who attack her. Nkechi Blessing’s plea for a second chance has sparked mixed reactions from netizens, with some sympathizing with her while others remain skeptical
Nkechi Blessing’s emotional video serves as a reminder that online actions can have real-life consequences. As she seeks redemption and a chance to rebrand herself, only time will tell if she can successfully rebuild her reputation and attract new brand deals.
She said:
“Before whatever relationship I had that went viral online, I’ve had several relationships with people that didn’t even make it online and the relationship ended and then just one that came online and made headlines, people are categorising on it. Why am I saying this? I meet someone today that likes me and wants to help me, not sexual, just normal people that like me that didn’t meet me online, and you know in life if you want to do something with somebody, either business, relationship or anything, you will seek third party opinion like ‘this person I met can you tell me some things about her’ and you hear things like ‘ah! Run away from her o, she will drag you online’ why? I am not blaming anybody because this is my doing, na me cause am, but then again, whatever relationship that came online and became a topic, wasn’t because I wanted it to be like that, it ended months before the outburst, meaning I had already moved on with my life, not wanting anything to come out in the open but the other party needed it to so that he could feel good about himself then that was me trying to defend myself because the internet never forgets. I won’t have someone speak ill about my person and I will not come to defend myself. If it were to be now, I would probably ignore because this is the life I’m living now, ignoring every negative vibes and just focusing on positivity only, but it has been affecting me. Imagine someone wants to work with me and they seek third party opinion and they hear things like ‘ah! That controversial girl! She’s not somebody you can work with’.”
