“I Spoke From A Place Of Pain And Hurt” – Angela Okorie Begs Mercy Johnson And Ned Nwoko, Tenders Apology
Nollywood actress, Angela Okorie has tendered an unreserved apology to colleague, Mercy Johnson and Senator Ned Nwoko.
She took to her Instagram page to admit her error, saying she spoke from a place of hurt.
Angela begged Johnson and Nwoko to forgive and forget.
She wrote:
“Hi, beautiful people, these past days have been a period of intense reflection for me.
Lately, having reminisced on certain events that had transpired, I can only thank God that I am alive.
It’s no secret that Mercy Johnson and I have had some difficult issues circulating on social media; moving forward, I would like to address this matter.
I am human, and when my emotions take over, I speak from the heart, often saying things directly as they come to me, especially when I feel hurt. Once I’ve expressed myself, I forget about it and move on, but I realize now that my utterances, whether uttered from the place of pain or not, were hurtful; some events that have happened these past days made me realize that I should have done better. 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.
I’ve also been the target of lies, betrayal, and unwarranted attacks. Bloggers have spread false information, and people have created videos filled with blatant lies. The betrayal has been overwhelming, but I forgive everyone who has hurt me and leave them to face their own conscience.
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 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. I cannot intentionally disrespect you for whatever reason. To buttress this, I remember being part of your political campaign, the one you brought ZuleZoo, myself & other artistes.
I have also honoured your family’s yearly children’s carnival when invited.
All these have made me realize that being at peace is better than war or fighting. I deeply regret my actions and am sorry.
