Moyo Lawal Actress debunks suicide attempt rumours

Following a post shared by Moyo Lawal on Saturday, August 5, revealing a bit of her struggles in recent times, rumours have been flying around that she may have attempted suicide.

Of course, the Nollywood actress' words were taken far out of context but since that needs to be pointed out, she has shared another post on Instagram, debunking the rumours.

In the post she shared on Saturday, Moyo wrote, “Dear Lovers …… Am sorry ,I have been away and silent this past couple of months but you see ,I haven’t been able to explain what was going on in my mind and my heart. All i know, is that I have been living in a body fighting to survive with a mind that has been trying to die . ………………. P.s I missed you,so so much ML.”

At this point, it is safe to assume that her words were spoken metaphorically and not literally.

She has now cleared the air, noting that she went through a "dark time" and “didn’t and will never attempt to kill” herself.

Funny how Nigerians seem to leap to morbid conclusions but thankfully, there will be no obituaries anytime soon.
