Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson has revealed that her children are being bullied in school. She said false rumours and defamatory content online have caused problems for her family. She shared her concerns in a social media video.
Johnson explained that the stories have moved beyond the internet. They now affect her children’s daily life. Her kids face rejection and stress at school because of the rumours. “I have kids who are being bullied in school because of what you write. We have parents who don’t want my kids to touch their school bags because I am a witch,” she said.
She also said that she and her husband, Prince Okojie, recently withdrew defamation charges against a TikToker. The person had made allegations about her family. Johnson said the decision followed appeals from people who urged them to show mercy. “For the love and respect we have for numerous individuals, we have decided to withdraw the charges against the lady in question. Please, you all should leave my family alone,” she stated.
Johnson warned bloggers and online commentators to take responsibility for what they publish. She said the matter is no longer just about public opinion. It is about protecting her children from harm. She added that legal action could still happen if harassment continues.
She also explained that she will take action if online harassment persists. “It’s no longer going to be business as usual. I have plans later this year for things I have to do online, and having plans to make trouble and court cases is going to be part of them because some people just won’t leave me and my family alone,” she said.
Her statements drew strong reactions on social media. Fans and colleagues have shown support. Many also called for more accountability online.
The situation shows the challenges public figures face in the digital age. False information online can harm real lives. Mercy Johnson continues to call for respect and privacy for her family. She urges the public and media platforms to act responsibly.
