Nollywood actress Eucharia Anunobi has publicly lashed out at blogger Stanley Ontop for spreading false information regarding her personal life, including her acting career and marriage.
The dispute began when Ontop shared a photo of the actress alongside her late son on Instagram on Sunday, accompanied by a post claiming that Eucharia’s marriage and career were derailed by the challenges of caring for a son with sickle cell disease.
The post, titled “SICKLE CELL ENDED MY MARRIAGE AND ALSO MY CAREER,” offered a detailed account of the actress’s personal struggles, suggesting that the medical expenses and frequent hospital visits due to her son’s condition caused significant strain on both her marriage and her acting pursuits.
The post, which Ontop attributed to Eucharia, read: “I got married in 2000 and had a son, Raymond.
From the moment I had him, my marriage began to hit the rocks.
It was one hospital visit after another, one medical expense to another. The experience halted our lives and put a strain on our love.“My husband blamed me for our situation and I blamed him too. I watched my son s#ffer. I watched my husband and I go from spouses to friends, to people who just fought and fought about medical bills and taking care of our son.
“Finally, in 2006, our marriage ended and I was left alone with our son. I cried a lot. It was so overwhelming that I couldn’t even pursue my acting passion any longer.
“Sadly, I lost my son at the age of 17.
In a cautionary note at the end, the post advised readers to “know your genotype before you fall in love. Love can’t stand the pain of sickle cell.”
The post sparked a furious reaction from Eucharia Anunobi, who swiftly responded in the comments section, calling Ontop out for spreading misinformation.
“WHOEVER YOU ARE WRITING AN UNFOUNDED STORY WITH MY PICTURES TO CHASE CLOUT: DELETE THIS POST BEFORE THE WRATH OF GOD WILL CONSUME YOU AND ALL THAT YOU REPRESENT.” she wrote.
Stanley Ontop, undeterred by the actress’s warning, fired back with a blunt reply, “@euchariaanunobi the wrath of God doesn’t work on me because I am Christ-like. You would have asked me to delete it gently and I will do so by deleting it. But you’re threatening me with the wrath of God, it’s a no no no for me. You told this story yourself. Do you want me to bring a video when you said it, while on the pulpit? Anyways never mind. I am a blogger and I am blogging what you said with your mouth. Shalom!!!!”
The back-and-forth between the two continued to unfold on social media, leaving followers divided over the accuracy of Ontop’s post and the public spat between the actress and the blogger.
