Mercy Johnson Cries Out as Children Allegedly Face Bullying Over False Rumours (VIDEO)

Popular Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson Okojie has spoken out emotionally after revealing that her children are allegedly being bullied at school due to false rumours circulating online about her and her family.

The actress shared her distress in a video that has since gone viral, sparking widespread reactions and sympathy from fans and colleagues within and outside the entertainment industry.

According to Mercy Johnson, the rumours, which she described as completely untrue and malicious, have gone beyond social media gossip and are now affecting her children’s mental and emotional wellbeing.

She explained that her kids have reportedly been confronted, teased, and bullied by their peers because of things they have seen or heard online, a situation she said is deeply painful for her as a mother.

In the emotional video, the actress appealed to bloggers and social media users to consider the impact of spreading unverified information, especially when innocent children are involved.

She stressed that while she can endure criticism and online attacks directed at her as a public figure, dragging her children into such narratives is unacceptable. Mercy Johnson warned that continued spread of false rumours could have long-term psychological effects on young children who do not fully understand why they are being targeted.

The actress also used the opportunity to address the rumours directly, stating clearly that they are false and urging the public to stop sharing them.

Her outcry has reignited conversations around cyberbullying, responsible blogging, and the dangers of misinformation, particularly in the age of fast-moving digital media.

Following her statement, many Nigerians and fellow celebrities flooded social media with messages of support, condemning the bullying and calling for greater accountability among content creators.

The incident has once again highlighted the real-life consequences of online rumours and the urgent need for empathy, especially when the lives of children are affected by adult actions in the public space.
