Nkechi Blessing Sunday apologises to Juliet Ibrahim over slap drama

It all started when a video of Nkechi and Arole on a production set went viral. In the video, Nkechi had asked the director to pause the production because of the slap that was given to her by Arole, an action Juliet Ibrahim described as unprofessional and Nkechi, in turn, called her an idiot.

Nkechi has come out with an open letter to Juliet Ibrahim to apologise for her comment, claiming the insult was because she felt that her talent and abilities were being undermined

She wrote:

“Dear Juliet Ibrahim my name is Nkechi Blessing Sunday. I write this to address what really went wrong yesterday. Yesterday I was very emotional and I allowed my emotions get the best part of me and I said a lot of hurtful things to a fellow woman which I am not proud of, so I am here to say I am sorry to Juliet Ibrahim. Even though she said a lot to me herself but that does not matter what matters is I like to let go of my hurt and make peace.

“I am a woman and well brought up and I should not have let my emotions get the best part of me. I am not afraid of criticism, please I love to learn and I love to be taught by people who have been there before me. But the comment came off wrong. I felt like I was been talked down on my talent and abilities, and yesterday was not the best day for me as I was dealing with a lot myself so all this added to me blowing off but this is not me making excuses but me making peace and correcting whatever wrong impression about me yesterday must have created in the minds of people.

“Once again I am sorry to everyone who I have disappointed by my actions. This are people that love and have great respect and expectations for me but I let them down. I should have acted differently. Also to Juliet Ibrahim, I am sorry and I open my arms for love and peace I hope you will kindly embrace it. We are all women we should love and support each other not fight each other. Thank you all and have a blessed holiday. Cc @julietibrahim”
