Nollywood actress Biodun Okeowo has addressed speculations surrounding her relationship with colleague Lizzy Anjorin after she was accused of supporting the actress by liking some of her social media posts.
The curvy movie star clarified that Anjorin has never been her friend in real life, stressing that she maintains only a cordial relationship with colleagues in the film industry.
According to Okeowo, her interaction with Anjorin’s posts was merely social media courtesy and not an endorsement of the controversies or curses often associated with the actress’s online rants.
She said she deliberately avoids taking sides whenever colleagues are involved in public disputes and does not believe in inheriting other people’s enemies.
“I did not support her curses or like any curse post. The posts I engaged with were normal posts — done out of social media courtesy and reciprocity when she posts about her husband or business,” she explained.
The actress also accused Anjorin of spreading false narratives about her despite publicly appearing to defend her in the past. She alleged that Anjorin made damaging claims, including insinuations that her children were fathered by different men.
Okeowo firmly dismissed the allegation, stating that both of her children share the same father.
“Let me state it clearly: my children are from the same father. They are both Okeowo,” she said.
She further revealed that although she once featured Anjorin in her movie Edidi Igbeyawo, their relationship remained strictly professional. Okeowo added that she initially stayed silent in the interest of peace but decided to speak out after the rumours persisted.
The actress noted that she withdrew completely from Anjorin’s affairs after a previous controversy involving a child, which she described as unacceptable to her.
Reiterating her position, Okeowo said she harbours no hatred towards any colleague but wants the public to stop associating her with Anjorin’s ongoing disputes.
“We are not friends and never have been. We were only colleagues,” she stated.
