Actress Bolaji Ogunmola is considering taking a break from social media due to criticism of her on-screen chemistry with co-star Daniel Etim-Effiong in her latest film, “The Bloom After”. The backlash started after a social media user questioned the excessive kissing scenes between them, suggesting it could lead to real-life romantic feelings. The Social media user with the handle “I hate lies” wrote: “To be honest, you and Daniel kissing movies is too much, and it’s looking like you guys are an item. Why didn’t you kiss the 1st guy, Anthony, in your new movie? Remember that was how Yul and Judy started. Feelings can develop. You guys should tune it down”.
Ogunmola responded strongly, defending her professionalism and stating that her interactions with colleagues remain strictly professional.
“You are an absolute retard!! You watched to tweet stupidity, and it shows. What is the entire film about, you nitwit!! You want to reduce my entire work to kissing.
You are an absolute fool, and all of you are thinking like that. What foolish item? We don’t even talk outside of work!. You think because you lack boundaries and have no respect for yourself, everyone acts and carries themselves like that, you absolute fool. I don’t care what happened to any other actor… so of us have plenty of dignity and self-respect.
Your opinion about things is a direct representation of who you are and what you stand for. Things I have learned: so many people aren’t professionals, and people lack strong boundaries and are cheats themselves if the situation enables them.” She replied the Social Media user.
She emphasized that the film’s message is about self-discovery and empowerment, urging viewers to focus on the bigger picture rather than isolated scenes.
Ogunmola also hinted at getting a social media manager to handle online interactions, allowing her to concentrate on her work.
