Nollywood actress Angela Okorie has sparked widespread reactions online after releasing a public video in which she asked fellow actress Mercy Johnson Okojie for forgiveness, marking a major turn in a long-running and controversial feud between both women.
In the viral video shared on social media, Angela Okorie openly admitted that she was wrong for the accusations and statements she previously made against Mercy Johnson. She described her actions as hurtful and unnecessary, taking full responsibility for the damage caused by her words. According to her, the situation escalated beyond control and should never have reached the level it did.
Angela specifically apologised for labeling Mercy Johnson with negative and damaging claims, including allegations that deeply affected Mercy’s reputation, family, and children. She stated clearly in the video that Mercy Johnson is “not a witch” and retracted all previous remarks, acknowledging that they were false and driven by anger, misinformation, and emotions at the time.
The apology came shortly after Angela Okorie’s legal troubles linked to the dispute. The actress had faced arrest and court proceedings over allegations of cyberstalking, harassment, and threats connected to her online attacks on Mercy Johnson. Following her release on bail, the apology video surfaced, suggesting a desire to make peace and de-escalate the situation.
In her message, Angela appealed not just to Mercy Johnson but also to the public, calling for understanding, forgiveness, and an end to online bullying. She emphasized the importance of protecting families and children from the consequences of adult conflicts, noting that disagreements should never spill over into hatred or long-term damage.
Public reactions to the video have been divided. While some social media users praised Angela for owning up to her mistakes and choosing reconciliation, others expressed skepticism, questioning whether the apology was motivated by genuine remorse or legal pressure. Despite the mixed responses, many agree that the video represents a significant shift from confrontation to accountability.
Mercy Johnson, who has remained largely calm and private throughout the controversy, has not publicly responded to the apology at the time of writing. However, fans and colleagues continue to express hope that the situation will lead to peace and serve as a lesson on the consequences of unchecked online conflicts.
The episode has once again highlighted the power of social media in shaping narratives, careers, and legal outcomes within the entertainment industry. Angela Okorie’s apology stands as a reminder that words carry weight, especially for public figures, and that reconciliation, no matter how delayed can still play an important role in moving forward.
