Drama erupts in Nollywood as popular actress Chinelo Rita publicly calls out her colleague Ruby Ojiakor, accusing her of neglect and insensitivity following the tragic death of her younger sister.
In an emotionally charged and lengthy Facebook post, Chinelo Rita opened up about the heartbreak she experienced after losing her sister, revealing that the painful incident occurred not long after Ruby Ojiakor’s elaborate wedding ceremony to Moc Madu.
The actress described her deep disappointment with Ruby Ojiakor, accusing her of displaying a high level of pretentiousness common in the Nollywood industry. She lamented that despite their closeness and her personal support for Ruby during her wedding preparations, Ruby completely ignored her during her time of grief.
According to Chinelo Rita, she is a very straightforward and blunt person by nature and insisted that she harbors no grudges against Ruby. However, she felt compelled to address the issue publicly in order to set the record straight and warn against what she perceives as fake friendships in the industry.
As part of her post, Chinelo shared a screenshot of a private direct message (DM) she sent to Ruby Ojiakor on Instagram. In the message, she expressed her hurt feelings and disappointment, emphasizing that her grief was made worse by the lack of support from someone she once considered close.
Chinelo further revealed that she went out of her way to purchase and deliver clothes specifically for Ruby’s wedding, underlining the efforts she made to be present and supportive during her colleague’s special moments.
She expressed that she expected at least a basic show of empathy in return during her own difficult time, but instead, she was met with complete silence and disregard from Ruby.
