Lagos: Actress Etinosa Idemudia has criticized the trend of celebrities posting unreplied direct messages after a person’s death, describing the act as hypocritical and attention-seeking. The movie star, who spoke during a recent interview with BTC Podcast, warned colleagues against sharing her private messages when she dies, insisting that many people ignore others while they are alive but suddenly become emotional online after their passing.
According to Ghana Web, Etinosa also condemned movie producers and industry colleagues who allegedly refuse to work with actors during their lifetime but later post emotional tributes claiming they had plans to collaborate. She expressed her disdain for those who might post messages indicating regret over unfulfilled collaborations, emphasizing the insincerity of such actions.
Etinosa’s comments come amid reactions trailing the death of actor Alexx Ekubo, with several celebrities sharing screenshots of their last conversations with him on social media. The actress’s remarks highlight a broader conversation about authenticity and the motives behind public displays of mourning within the entertainment industry.
