Yvonne Okoro
Award-winning actress, Yvonne Okoro, has initiated legal action against Facebook-based media outlet Naija Boss Vlog following a publication of a viral post that falsely attributed personal statements to her.
The post, which was shared on May 15, 2025, claimed that the actress confessed to being “dumped many times,” prompting widespread discussion on social media.
In a letter dated May 16, 2025, Yvonne Okoro’s legal representative, M&O Law Consult, firmly denied that she ever made the remarks. The letter, signed by Managing Partner, Emmanuel Mate-Kole, stated that the claims were entirely false, defamatory, and a misrepresentation of the actress’s personal life.
“Our client categorically states that she has never made such comments, whether publicly or privately,” the letter said. “The attribution of these statements to her is entirely false and defamatory.”
The post, written in the style of a heartfelt confession, detailed alleged past heartbreaks and was framed as a message of encouragement to other women. Despite its emotional tone, Yvonne Okoro insists she never authored or endorsed any such statement.
Her legal team is demanding the immediate and permanent removal of the post from all Naija Boss Vlog platforms, a full public apology acknowledging that the statements are false and defamatory, and the publication of this apology across every platform where the original content may have circulated.
Yvonne Okoro, known for guarding her private life and maintaining a professional public image, is reportedly committed to addressing the issue head-on and ensuring accountability for the spread of misinformation online.
