Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has finally responded to the persistent rumors accusing her of being behind the controversial faceless Instagram blog Gistlover.
In a candid conversation with comedian AY Makun on a recent podcast, the actress addressed the ongoing speculation, revealing her thoughts on the notorious Instagram blog and the rumors surrounding her involvement. According to Iyabo Ojo, most of the gossip shared by Gistlover isn’t necessarily true, and often the information comes from people within her own circle.
The Truth About Gistlover’s Sources
During the discussion, Iyabo shed light on how she believes Gistlover gets its information, revealing that it often comes from individuals close to celebrities—sometimes even wrong or fabricated information. However, she acknowledged that some of the gossip may be based on truth.
“One thing I found out about Gistlover is that it’s the people close to you who take the information to Gistlover. Sometimes the information they take is wrong information, but they still take them. Some of the information are right, and some are wrong.”
She further questioned the integrity of the faceless blogger, wondering if proper research is done before information is posted.
“Do they do thorough findings before sharing the information on their page?”
Accusations of Being Gistlover: Iyabo’s Shock and Disbelief
The accusations that Iyabo Ojo herself is behind Gistlover left her in complete disbelief. She expressed her surprise at the notion, questioning why she would risk tarnishing her own reputation, especially that of her daughters, for the sake of gossip.
“Some people came out to say I am Gistlover. I was shocked. Iyabo Ojo is Gistlover and I posted about my life on Gistlover, I dragged my daughter on Gistlover. Is it for the money or the fame? The rubbish that was written about 3some and stuff that Gistlover posted and it went viral—why would I want to drag my own daughter and myself? Destroy my name and reputation, why?”
