Popular Nollywood actress Moyo Lawal has spoken publicly about her emotional healing journey following the circulation of a leaked intimate video in 2023, an experience she said took a significant toll on her mental and emotional well-being.
The actress shared her reflections on January 1, 2026, while marking her birthday, describing the period after the incident as one that forced her to step away from public life and social media to focus on healing and self-reflection.
“Healing comes in different forms,” Lawal said, acknowledging her vulnerability. “Thanks to everyone who heard my voice when I didn’t speak.”
Known for her confident and lively personality, Lawal said the incident left her heartbroken and prompted a deliberate withdrawal from public engagements as she worked through the emotional impact. She noted that the time away was necessary for her personal growth and overall well-being.
The actress added that she is now looking forward to a new beginning, with a renewed focus on redefining her lifestyle, boundaries, and relationships.
Following the leak in 2023, Lawal faced intense public scrutiny, with some critics attributing her ordeal to her bold social media presence. However, the actress has maintained silence on such criticisms, choosing instead to prioritize recovery and self-care.
Lawal’s comments mark one of her most candid reflections since the incident, signaling a gradual return to public engagement on her own terms.
