The actor went on to allege that some of these actresses rely on financial support from men while presenting themselves as self-made through their acting careers. He implied that their glamorous lifestyles are not entirely self-funded, which he sees as misleading to the public. His comments have drawn criticism from many online users who argue that his claims are unfounded and potentially damaging to the reputations of the women involved.
Social media reactions have been mixed. Some users defended Destiny Etiko, pointing out her successful film projects and independence in producing her own movies. Others criticized Stanley Ontop for targeting women without evidence, urging him to respect his peers. Comments ranged from support for his call for transparency to sharp rebukes, with users questioning his motives and suggesting he focus on his own career instead of making public accusations.
One user, @kachimoni, stated, “Stanley’s destiny is doing well, and she Dey produce her own movie back to back, I don’t think she needs any Lagos producer to ft her pls.” Another, @papijames10, warned, “U fit talk about any woman for that Una industry u go free, but if you talk about Destiny, see Stanley u no go like am. Kindly behave and respect yourself.” Others questioned the necessity of such public confrontations, with @cheeky_ajc asking, “Fighting women who haven’t provoked you? Is this your best?”
As the controversy continues to unfold, the debate highlights ongoing discussions about authenticity, success, and accountability in Nollywood. The incident also underscores the power of social media in shaping public perception within the entertainment industry. Whether these allegations will lead to further developments remains to be seen, but the conversation has already sparked reflection on how celebrities present their lives to the public.
