Nollywood star Queeneth Agbor has slammed rumours she slept her way to stardom, stressing she would never sacrifice her values for fame.
“Over the years, I’ve learnt to protect my inner peace like my life depends on it. I block social media dramas and refuse to address false narratives because, honestly, how many times can I correct lies? It’s their data, their cheap mindset, so I leave it as their headache, not mine,” the actress told Punch, adding that she prefers peace over public debate.
Addressing speculation about her love life, Queeneth confessed certain rumours have bewildered her, stressing that they’re too wild.
She explained, “I’ve read things that even shocked me. Sometimes I wonder if it’s really me they’re talking about or there’s another me somewhere. I heard that I’ve been married twice with kids, dated someone’s husband for 20 years, and even dated a 90-year-old man, at what age? Nine? Lol. I’m not correcting misconceptions because even if I do, it will still be twisted. Let them fabricate lies; it’s their headache. And if anyone is dumb enough to believe it, that’s on them too.”
Reflecting on an experience that shaped her career, Queeneth recalled, “There was a big-time producer who wanted me as if his life depended on it. I was frustrated, but my values wouldn’t allow me to cross that line. I sought counsel from my late mum and she prayed for me, gave me wise advice, and sent me money to get him a drink, telling me to ask him to bless me as my industry father. I did exactly that. He prayed and blessed me. That moment strengthened my resilience, and it shapes my career to this day.”
On protecting her peace, the actress said firmly, “I love myself too much to negotiate peace. The moment I sense toxicity, I’m out even before confirming if it’s real or just an oversight.”
