Iyabo Ojo Debunks Gistlover Ownership Rumors,Gains Respect For Role In Daughter’s Wedding

Veteran Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has come out strongly to refute allegations linking her to the controversial and anonymous gossip blog, Gistlover. The actress, who has long been a subject of both admiration and controversy in Nigeria’s entertainment industry, addressed the persistent rumors during a candid interview with popular comedian AY Makun.

In the interview, Iyabo dismissed the speculation that she is behind the faceless Gistlover blog, noting that such claims are not only baseless but also hurtful. “I was shocked when they said Iyabo Ojo is Gistlover,” she revealed. “If I am, will I post about my life and also drag my daughter on Gistlover?”

According to the actress, much of the gossip circulated by the blog comes from insiders within the victims’ circles. “One thing I found out about Gistlover is that it is the people close to you who take your information to Gistlover. Sometimes the information is wrong, but they still take it,” she explained.

Iyabo expressed disbelief over the accusations, citing the damaging content the blog has published about her, including salacious and untrue claims involving her private life. “The rubbish that was written about me having threesomes and stuff, is for what reason? Why would I drag my own daughter and myself? To destroy my name and reputation?” she asked rhetorically.

Iyabo’s Parenting Applauded Amidst Celebrity Family Comparisons

In a parallel narrative that has captured the public’s attention, Iyabo Ojo has been praised for the mature and inclusive way she handled her daughter Priscilla’s recent wedding. In stark contrast to gospel singer Tope Alabi’s family situation, Iyabo ensured her ex-husband was actively involved in the traditional and church ceremonies.

Nollywood actress Ronke Oshodi-Oke was among the first to publicly commend Iyabo for setting a positive example. During an interview on Oyinmomo TV, Ronke lauded Iyabo’s parenting, recalling how the actress consistently prioritized her children’s well-being even when their father was not in the picture.

“I give kudos to Iyabo Ojo. When Priscilla and her brother were young, she always went everywhere with them. She is a devoted mother. I now respect her more when I saw Priscilla’s Dad at the wedding. I also learnt a lesson from her,” Ronke shared.

The comparison drew attention to Tope Alabi’s daughter, Ayomikun, whose father was absent from her wedding earlier this year, with her stepfather walking her down the aisle instead. Ronke, however, urged Nigerians to refrain from harsh judgment, suggesting that Ayomikun, being an adult, likely had a say in the matter.

“She is 27 years old, maybe she was the one who didn’t want to see her dad. She is an adult. If she really wanted her dad, she would have insisted to her mum. I am not supporting what Tope did, but let us take it easy on her,” Ronke said.

The contrast between Iyabo’s family dynamics and those of other public figures has sparked widespread discussion on social media. Many netizens have expressed admiration for Iyabo’s decision to rise above personal differences for the sake of her children’s happiness and emotional well-being.

By publicly embracing her ex-husband’s presence at such a crucial moment, Iyabo has not only displayed emotional intelligence but also set a powerful example of co-parenting in the public eye.

As the gossip mill continues to churn, Iyabo’s transparency and maturity are winning her new admirers. Her refusal to be cowed by rumors and her commitment to her family are resonating deeply with fans and fellow celebrities alike.

While the actress may continue to face scrutiny in the unpredictable world of showbiz, her recent actions have reinforced her status not just as a star, but as a role model for strength, integrity, and unconditional parental love.
