Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing has issued a heartfelt apology, acknowledging the impact of her past controversies on her reputation and career.

In a video posted to Instagram, the controversial actress expressed her frustration over being constantly judged based on a past relationship and the controversial moments that played out in the public eye.

She admitted that while she takes responsibility for her actions, the lingering perception of her as “controversial” has affected both her professional and personal life.

Nkechi Blessing revealed that potential business partners and friends often hear negative things about her, which discourages them from associating with her.

Although she initially defended herself online, she has since chosen to embrace a more positive approach to life.

“I met someone today who likes me and wants to help me—it’s not a sexual relationship, just a normal friendship. In life, when you want to do something with someone, be it business or personal, you often seek a third-party opinion. For example, if you say, ‘This person I met, can you tell me something about her?’ and you hear, ‘Ah! Run away from her; she will drag you online,’ it’s discouraging. I am not blaming anyone but acknowledge that this is my doing; I caused it myself. I know I have made some people see me as a fool, a nuisance, or someone notorious. Please, I beg you in the name of God, if you see someone who wants to work with me, give them the benefit of the doubt. I am a very pleasant person to work with, and I know how many deals I have lost due to this perception. However, God’s grace keeps me going.”
