Nollywood actress, Angela Okorie, has publicly apologized to fellow actress, Mercy Johnson and Senator Ned Nwoko over her outburst on social media.
In a lengthy Instagram post, Angela described the past few days as a time of deep reflection.
Naijaonpoint reports that she admitted that her past actions and emotional outbursts may have caused hurt, especially to Mercy Johnson.
According to her, she tends to speak from a place of emotion when hurt, often without filtering her words.
However, she acknowledged that this approach had caused unintended pain.
Angela directly apologized to Mercy Johnson, stating that she now realizes the impact of her words and values Mercy’s mental health.
She pleaded with Mercy to forgive her, saying she never intended harm to her or her family.
Angela also extended an apology to Senator Ned Nwoko, noting that her angry response was triggered by what she described as unprovoked attacks.
She admitted that her reaction was not appropriate and said she would never deliberately disrespect the senator.
“I feel so sorry having realized how this gets to you, Mercy. Your mental health is very important now and ever & I wouldn’t wish you and your family worse, that’s not my nature, and you know it. Do find a place in your heart to forgive me.
“Furthermore, my sincere apology also goes to Senator Ned Nwoko. I understand that my anger in trying to make a reply didn’t find you in a good state. It was as a reaction to an unprovoked bashing and attack that was blown out of proportion. I truly reacted in a way I now recognize wasn’t pleasant.
“In addition, my 40th birthday is close by, and as I attain this 4th floor, I am committed to reacting to situations better with greater wisdom. Our children are growing up quickly, and we must set a better example”, she wrote.
Naijaonpoint reports that the apology comes after Angela openly lashed out at Mercy Johnson in several Instagram posts, accusing her of alleged witchcraft, home-wrecking, and faking her weight loss.
Angela had also slammed Ned Nwoko while responding to Regina Daniels, who defended Mercy and accused Angela of once showing interest in her husband.
