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.
Read her post below:
“Wait………hold up lovers…. I think we are ..eeem blowing things out of proportion!!!…………………… God has been really good to me and my support system is different shades of amazing ,my family ,friends turned family ,friends who have remained as friends ….fans turned friends are everything ••••••••• ••••••••••••••••••••••••• Its just that well ,I got really numb for a bit …and was in a very dark place that I didn’t understand …………

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