Actress
Mercy Johnson who was reportedly in a showdown with her older colleague,
Patience Ozokwor on location in Asaba few weeks back, has blamed her
uncontrollable outburst on Ozokwor’s repeated utterances referring to her as an
‘ashawo’- a hoochie.
In
a telephone interview, Mercy recounted her side of the story to NET. She noted
that Patience Ozokwor was given a revealing clothe to wear on that location,
apparently to depict a character in the movie that was in the making and
Patience allegedly refused the outfit, stating that she is not Mercy Johnson,
not an ‘ashawo’.
There
were unconfirmed reports that the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) might take a
disciplinary action against Mercy Johnson and Patience Ozokwor but when NET
contacted the AGN president, Segun Arinze via SMS, he simply stated that the
issue has been sorted out in-house.
The
text message read “Hello sir, I just want to know if the AGN is taking any
disciplinary action against Mercy Johnson and Patience Ozokwor”.
“No
it’s sorted out. Thanks”, he replied. Arinze would not comment further.
Arinze,
sources said, has instructed both parties not to make any further comments on
the matter.
