Nollywood actress Ireti Doyle has lamented over the toxicity of social media.
The veteran, who had been away for over a month, made her return to the photo-sharing app, revealing how she had always pondered what she would do to herself once she became an empty nester.
Ireti said she had to disappear again as the streets of social media, even the world in general, is becoming too toxic for her quiet soul.
Questioning how her followers have been, she hoped they were protecting themselves.
“I used to wonder what I’d do with myself once I became an “empty nester”.
Now I know.
Had to disappear again..
The streets of SM (nay, the world in general) are becoming too toxic for my quiet soul.
How have you been?
I hope you’re protecting yourself.
Peace

The last time Ireti was online, she reflected on her journey into Nollywood, sharing a throwback photo of herself on a movie set. Ireti revealed that this was her first foray into Nollywood and described her journey into Nollywood as diverse and colourful.
Early last year, the veteran actress shared a harrowing experience on Instagram, where she spoke out about a near-death encounter with carbon monoxide poisoning. Ireti revealed how she was discovered unconscious in the car, foaming at the mouth with blood trickling down her nose, after unconsciously inhaling the dangerous gas. Luckily for her, divine intervention had played a crucial role in saving her life.
In 2023, Ireti spoke on why she still bears her husband’s surname, stating that the name ‘Ireti Doyle’ is now hers as it’s a name that is nearly 30 years in the making.
