The well-known Nigerian actress Peju Johnson has responded to criticism of her most recent movie, Right Thing, which debuted on her YouTube channel.
In addition to its plot, the film’s depiction of intimacy between her and another actor generated controversy on the internet.
In an Instagram post, Peju Johnson clarified that her personal life is different from the part she played.
She said, “Since I dropped my latest movie, Right Thing, on YouTube, there’s a particular intimacy scene that has been going viral, and people are reacting differently to it. I’m not someone who is attracted to men. People who know me well, especially my family, are aware that I’m simply not interested in men or in s*x.
“Let me be honest, since the beginning of 2026, I haven’t had s*x. I am a grown woman, if I want to do it, why not? I would. So, why would people be judging me wrongly because of a movie role?
“I had a childhood trauma that made me hate men and s*x. It’s not easy being an actress, especially a beautiful one. There’s this assumption that if you’re successful and in the spotlight, you must be promiscuous.
“That stereotype needs to stop. Being in the spotlight often brings assumptions that are untrue. Success and beauty do not define a person’s private life or character.”
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
One ❤️❤️❤️
