Nollywood actress Eve Esin has weighed in on a viral rumour linking some of her colleagues, including Desmond Elliot, Yul Edochie and Ken Erics, to homosexuality.
It was reported that the controversial social media blog Gistlover released a list featuring various Nigerian celebrities and accused them of being in same-sex relationships.
Eve Esin during a recent interview on Firstmate Multimedia’s Where Is the Lie Chat Show touched on the matter after she was asked to confirm the list.
She responded by admitting that she saw the list online but was not in the best place to confirm its legitimacy.
When she was asked about female Nollywood stars reportedly having same-sex relationships, the subject became much more intriguing.
Eve refused to speak further and noted that she would wait till a similar list of female celebrities emerged before discussing the matter.
While Yul and some of his colleagues are yet to clarify the allegations, politician Desmond Elliot finally responded to questions regarding his sexuality.
Desmond Elliot debunks rumours about his sexuality.
In a TVC interview, Desmond dismissed the claims as unfounded and unworthy of his answer.
“Why would I respond to an allegation that neither increases nor decreases my life?” he asked.
He denied the allegation, saying, “I am not gay.”
The former Nollywood actor turned politician, who is serving as Surulere legislator also raised the alarm about bloggers’ unregulated influence, calling the government to consider regulating sites such as Gistlover, which he claimed thrived on personal assaults and false rumours.
The blogger previously claimed to have evidence and witnesses to back up its assertions. Many of those on the list acted fast to protect their reputations.
Also, Big Brother Naija Frodd, who made it to the contentious list did not waste time before firing shots at Gistlover.
While fans and netizens were taken aback by the people mentioned in the list, BBNaija Frodd furiously attacked Gistlover for adding his name to it.
The father of two called his creator to vindicate him and noted that these rumours were spreading because he had fame and wealth. He further pointed out that Gistlover was lucky to be a faceless blog as he heaped insults on them.
