Blessing CEO denies alleged assault by fiance IVD, clarifies viral video context
Relationship expert says viral video was misinterpreted
Controversial self-proclaimed relationship expert, Blessing CEO, has denied claims that she was assaulted by her fiancé, IVD, following a video she shared on Instagram that caused a stir online.
Two days ago, Blessing CEO posted a video showing a distressing situation and called for urgent help, sparking concerns among her followers about her safety. In the now-deleted clip, she appeared to suggest that she was in danger, raising alarm over IVD’s alleged behavior and mental state.
Social media backlash
The video quickly attracted public attention, and many netizens criticized her for defending IVD, particularly because his late wife’s family had previously accused him of domestic abuse. Some online commentators questioned why Blessing CEO would seemingly support someone with such allegations surrounding them.
The incident became a trending topic on various social media platforms, with heated discussions about domestic violence, accountability, and the responsibility of influencers to provide clear context when sharing sensitive content.
Blessing CEO clarifies the situation
In response to the criticism, Blessing CEO released a statement clarifying that her Instagram post had been taken out of context. She emphasized that the video was not related to domestic violence, but rather, was recorded during a robbery incident in which she was caught up.
“You all should bring proof that I was beaten by IVD. IVD is someone’s brother, he is someone’s son. Why do you want me to lie that he beat me? Why do you people want to force me to accept domestic violence that doesn’t exist?” she said.
Blessing CEO stressed that the allegations circulating online were false and reiterated that her fiancé had no involvement in any act of domestic violence against her. She appealed to the public and media to verify facts before drawing conclusions.
Past controversies surrounding IVD
The attention around Blessing CEO’s post comes amid the lingering controversy surrounding her fiancé. IVD’s late wife’s family had accused him of domestic abuse, which has fueled skepticism among some internet users about Blessing CEO’s relationship.
However, Blessing CEO has consistently defended her partner and emphasized that the public should avoid making assumptions about private matters without verified evidence.
“People want to twist every situation to create stories,” she said. “This video had nothing to do with domestic abuse. It was a scary situation, yes, but it was a robbery, not an assault by IVD.”
Public reaction
Reactions on social media have been mixed. While some followers have expressed support for Blessing CEO, acknowledging that viral posts are often misinterpreted, others remain skeptical due to IVD’s controversial past.
Social commentators also used the situation to highlight a broader issue: the dangers of jumping to conclusions based on social media snippets, particularly in matters related to domestic violence.
“It’s important to remember that social media can distort reality,” said one observer. “A single clip, without proper context, can lead to misinformation and unnecessary backlash.”
The importance of context in viral content
Experts note that viral videos can have real-life consequences when their context is misunderstood. Blessing CEO’s case underscores the importance of providing clear explanations when posting sensitive content online.
Psychologists argue that public figures must navigate the fine line between raising awareness and unintentionally spreading panic or misinformation.
“When you share content about distressing events, it is vital to clarify circumstances,” said Dr. Funke Adepoju, a Lagos-based psychologist. “Otherwise, people may misinterpret and assume domestic issues where none exist.”
Moving forward
Blessing CEO has urged her followers to exercise caution and verify facts before commenting or sharing personal stories online. She also requested that media houses report responsibly and avoid sensationalizing the situation.
“IVD and I are fine. Please, let’s focus on the truth rather than creating unnecessary narratives,” she said.
The controversy highlights the challenges public figures face in managing their online presence, particularly when past controversies intersect with current events.
As of now, Blessing CEO continues to maintain her stance that no domestic violence occurred, and that her viral post was related solely to a robbery incident.
