In a not-so-cryptic post shared on her social media page an hour ago, Nollywood actress and producer Mercy Aigbe Gentry urged everyone (especially her Instagram followers) to say no to domestic violence.
In
the past couple of days the actress’ marriage has faced a lot of
scrutiny with speculations of domestic violence and while Mercy Aigbe’s
husband Lanre has spoken out a few times to deny the allegations on his Instagram page, the actress herself has stayed clear of the rumours.
She
has however spoken up about domestic violence in general on two
occasions in the past few days. The first time, she posted a photo of a
domestic violence victim and captioned “Say NO to DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE……Only a Coward hits a woman! REAL MEN don’t HIT! Repost if you
concur”. Today she also posted another photo of a domestic violence
victim and used the hashtag “#Saynotodomesticviolence”.
On
his own page, a few hours after Mercy shared the first domestic
violence post three days ago, her husband Lanre posted (and deleted) a
photo with a caption about how women should not be promiscuous. He also
posted a photo of himself and Mercy and captioned “I love my wife so
much”.
Even
though Mercy has stayed clear of addressing the rumours, she has
continued to share her daily activities with her fans on social media,
including going to church yesterday.
