Genevieve Nnaji, are lesbian partners was actually
broken by an online magazine last year and it
created a big buzz.
reacted to squash it all but it would seem the
echoes are still being heard as Ella revealed in
this chat that she is still being haunted by the
scandal.
Here's what she told Potpourri about the saga:
You became popular in Nigeria after that
allegation of lesbianism between you and
Genevieve. How did that little scandal affect you
and your career?
Yes, it has affected my emotional life, because
everybody now believes I am in a relationship with
Genny and my family is not happy about it. It has
really affected my career and image at home.
What actually happened between you and Genny
that sparked the allegation?
Hmm, you know I speak more of French than
English, so, it is a little hard for me to express
myself fully. What happened is that Genny and I
were in a club in Lagos and her phone got
missing. Later, I think a paparazzi or someone
got hold of it and started sharing some contents
about me and Genny online. I don�t see anything
abnormal in the pictures but people started
talking that we must be lesbians and all.
What kind of pictures are you talking about?
As normal persons and friends, we do take normal
pictures at home and in other places but I don�t
know why the online magazine showed Genevieve
and I kissing, I am surprised and don�t know
where they got those pictures from.
So, you and Genevieve were never kissing each
other in any pictures you took together?
We kissed, but it was nothing extraordinary, it
was normal kiss between girls. I mean girls do
kiss each other normally, even guys do too. When
I was dating Fally Ipupa we used to kiss and now
that we are separated and are good friends we
still continue kissing like we used to. My fear is I
receive strange calls saying that in a few days�
time they will be releasing more pictures about
us.
You still received calls over the incident?
I am a very popular figure in my country and a lot
of people are jealous of me. So many of them
would like to see me go down and this may be a
good excuse for them to start something.
When they call you on phone, do they ask for
anything or sound like blackmailers?
No, just to say they will expose our dirty secret
and I don�t have any dirty secret.
If you have no dirty secret why are you now
scared?
You don�t understand, even the pictures they
released online was worked on, adulterated to
make it look different from the actual pictures. We
kissed as normal girls, not as romantically or
sexually as they projected in the pictures posted
online.
What is the relationship between you and
Genevieve Nnaji?
We have been good friends since 2004. We met
when Kennis Music organised an award and since
then we have been good friends. We talk often
and whenever I am in Lagos we meet up and have
fun as friends. I have had no peace since the
pictures leaked online.
Everybody now calls me Genny�s wife back
home.
Sincerely, are you and Genevieve Nnaji sexually
involved?
No, never. I am neither a lesbian nor is Genevieve.
We are just two close friends, showing profound
emotions for each other by kissing. It seems the
Beninoise actress is staying away from Genny
these days to avoid further speculations.
