Nollywood actress Etinosa Idemudia has confirmed receiving a refund from Big Brother Naija reality star, Pere, after she called him out over an unpaid debt.
The actress, who had earlier taken to her X handle, threatening to arrest an BBNaija ex-housemate over unpaid debt, later disclosed that she had been refunded.
She went on to reveal Pere as the debtor, saying he was paid for a movie role but failed to show up.
Etinosa also warned the reality star that she isn’t his mate in the entertainment industry.
On her X handle, she wrote: “Payment received in full. Dear @PereEgbi if you know you can’t do a job you were paid for, respectfully refund without stress. It helps your integrity. P.S. I am not your mate in this industry. Cheers.
“We allow bad behaviour too much in this industry. If you can’t keep to your agreement with a producer, don’t take his or her money. Nobody plucks money from trees. Keep your bad stinking work ethics at home when you come on set. Etinosa Idemudia 2024. God bless us all.”
In 2019, she fueled outrage after going unclad during the live Instagram session of Mc Galaxy, a singer.
Etinosa has been married twice. Her first husband Babatunde Solomon was said to be a military man.
In 2021, her second marriage to Ighorosa, a Benin-based lawyer, crashed after the pair welcomed their first child.
In an interview with Chude Jideonwo in 2023, Etinosa revealed that she got married at 22 and suffered brutal domestic violence from her ex-husband to the extent she almost lost her life.
She said she indulged in illicit substances as an escapism from her cheating and abusive husband.
The actress said she eventually left the marriage after her ceaseless praying and fasting didn’t change her husband.
