Actress Nneoma Ukpabi kicks as AGN suspends her over fraud

Published

on

Nneoma Ukpabi, the actress, has reacted to her suspension as the Imo state chairman of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) over alleged fraud.

Emeka Rollas, the AGN national president, recently announced Ukpabi’s suspension after a lady identified as Favour accused the actress of defrauding her of N400,000.

In a video shared by Rollas, Favour claimed Ukpabi collected N400,000 from her with the promise to help her travel abroad.

The lady also said when she confronted Ukpabi to demand her money, the film star allegedly asked her boys to assault her.

At the time, Rollas had said the suspended chairman would be reinstated when she clears her name before the AGN national disciplinary committee.

But reacting in a video via her Instagram page, the actress dismissed the allegations. Ukpabi said Favour paid the said sum to an organisation she belongs to — and not her.

The actress said the organisation had announced a trip to Europe to which Favour indicated interest.

She claimed after paying the sum of N300,000, Favour started asking her for the money all of a sudden.

“A certain girl said I defrauded her to the tune of 400k. But I’m here to say that she lied against me. She lied against my person. Firstly, can she prove with any evidence that I defrauded her of 400k? If she can be able to prove it to the public, I am willing to go to jail without trial,” she said.

“Secondly, this same girl, I harboured, fed, accepted her. I took her in like a daughter, we used to play like mother and daughter. I introduced her to the Actors Guild of Nigeria, but I did not collect a dime from her. Rather I belong to an organisation, and this organisation was going on a trip in Europe and this same girl pleaded with me to add her name.

“I told her I am paying like others are paying. Can she be able to afford it? That the amount is 400k for every arrangement. She said she would go.

“At first she paid 100 thousand naira to the organisers’ account on 7th of October. Secondly she paid another 100 thousand naira. She paid another 100 thousand naira to the organisers’ account. No payment was made to me.

“All of a sudden, she woke up one morning and told me that she did not understand the process of this travel. I made several calls to so many people that know about travelling.”

Ukpabi, who shared details of Favour’s transaction, dared her accusers to provide evidence of their allegations.

The actress added that the matter was earlier taken to the police where the organisers refunded N100,000 to Favour.

I’ve been in love with girls my whole life, says Billie Eilish on sexuality

Billie Eilish, the US singer and songwriter, has opened up about her sexuality.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, the 22-year-old revealed that she has had a lifelong attraction to women. She also said she is ready to fully embrace it.

“I have been in love with girls for my whole life, but I just did not understand — until, last year, I realised I wanted my face in a vagina,” she said.

Eilish said it took her time to accept this aspect of herself and criticised the pressure from the internet to disclose one’s sexuality.

She added that it is important to allow individuals to define their identity at their own pace.

“I was never planning on talking about my sexuality ever, in a million years,” she added.

“I have known people that do not know their sexuality, or feel comfortable with it, until they are in their forties, fifties, sixties. It takes a while to find yourself, and I think it is really unfair, the way that the internet bullies you into talking about who you are and what you are.”

Megan Thee Stallion sued for forcing cameraman to watch her have sex

Published

Emilio Garcia, the former cameraman of Megan Thee Stallion, the US rapper, has filed a lawsuit against her over alleged sexual harassment.

According to NBC News, Garcia started working for the rapper as her cameraman in 2018 and remained in the role full-time until June 2023.

In the suit filed through his lawyers in a Los Angeles court on Tuesday, Garcia claimed he was “forced to watch Megan have sex with a woman”.

He said the incident allegedly happened inside a moving vehicle in 2022 when they travelled to Ibiza, Spain.

Garcia said he was “shocked by the overall audacity” of the rapper to “do this right beside me”.

He said he was left feeling “embarrassed, mortified and offended” after the incident.

In the suit, Garcia claimed during the trip, he was “taunted about my weight” and Megan made “fat-shaming comments” about him.

He alleged that the rapper told him to “spit your food out” and “you don’t need to be eating”.

The suit claimed Megan’s behaviour “created a hostile and abusive work environment” for Garcia, “making the conditions of his employment intolerable”.

“After a night out, plaintiff, Stallion and three other women were riding in a SUV together,” the lawsuit reads.

“Suddenly, Stallion and one of the other women start having sex right beside the plaintiff.

“Plaintiff could not get out of the car as it was moving and he was in the middle of nowhere in a foreign country.”

The lawsuit includes allegations of breaches of employment law for which Garcia is seeking financial compensation.

He also claimed he missed out on healthcare benefits after his role was “misclassified” as an independent contractor.

Garcia alleged that after the trip, he was told by Megan’s management, Roc Nation, that his services were no longer required.

He claimed that the termination of his employment was “in retaliation for my complaints of wage and hour violations”.

“More than once, Stallion interrupted plaintiff during dinner and demanded that he immediately shift his focus to assist with her TikTok creative ideas,” the suit reads.

Reacting to the lawsuit, Alex Spiro, Megan’s attorney, described it as “salacious accusations”.

“This is an employment claim for money with no sexual harassment claim filed and with salacious accusations to attempt to embarrass her. We will deal with this in court,” Spiro said.
