ReplyDeleteMany actors/actresses live fake lives and whenever they dont have money to continue their lifestyles they resort to such shameful act...IT'S A SHAME!
ReplyDeleteNollywood does not make any actress or actor different,they like every other persons in the society,so my advice to d public is to be extreemly careful when dealing with such persons and their likes cos crime is of more % in high profiled persons.Remember all that glitters are not gold.
