This propelled Nancy to respond to the development with a lengthy Instagram post in which she stated that Nigerian women who aspire to be successful should not be surprised when false accusations are leveled against them.
She added, “I knew the breaking news was coming, there’s been too much positive news about me online, not everyone likes that. Once your name drives traffic, the propaganda begins with or without evidence. But listen, I refused to be bullied by patriarchy!
“Sad part, if I haven’t even scratched surface yet. God just started with me and yes, it is easy to say ignore until you are on set filming till 11pm, on the phone constantly working towards the season premiere lunch of your show amongst all the other obligations for brands you work with and future projects.
“Literally, mentally and physically exhausted and trying to make something out of your life only to check your notification and it’s flooded with comments calling you out of your name. I am talking about thousands of comments. Like I said, since we can’t sue a faceless account, we at least deserve concrete proof of the allegation laid.
“Dig it up and let us see, not just resort to calling names and trying to bully me into silence and out of fear and restricting my comments so no one can see, then screen munching same comment for clout. Glad this happened on international women’s month, the bias towards women will be broken until then.
“We stay grinding. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Nancy Isime, actor, multiple award-winning host, CEO, NIP, studios executive producer and creator of the Nancy Isime show. Any other title is yours not mine.
