‘I don’t need pity,’ Bimbo Ademoye responds to backlash after release of emotional video ahead of film

Some critics suggested the display was a calculated move to attract attention and boost viewership. “Don’t do that. Am I supposed to be battling people over stealing my film title and thumbnail?” she said.

The award-winning actress stressed that such claims undermine the effort, planning, and financial investment that go into her productions. She explained that her projects involved coordinated professional shoots and dedicated teams who commit significant time and energy. Ademoye further revealed that she has faced numerous production challenges behind the scenes, many of which she has chosen to handle privately without seeking public sympathy or attention.

“I am a very strong woman; I don’t need pity,” she said. She urged critics to be mindful of their assumptions and to recognise the professionalism behind film production. Her response has sparked mixed reactions online, with some fans defending her stance and others continuing to debate the role of emotional storytelling in film marketing. Ademoye remains one of Nollywood’s prominent figures, known for her versatility and commitment to delivering high-quality productions in an increasingly competitive industry.
