The ongoing feud between Nollywood actresses Destiny Etiko and Queeneth Hilbert has taken a legal turn, with Etiko filing a petition for N100 million in damages after Hilbert accused her of snatching boyfriends from her colleagues. The social media accusations made by Queeneth Hilbert, alleging that Etiko had taken her rich boyfriend and other partners from fellow actresses, have prompted a strong legal response.
Destiny Etiko, through her legal representatives, has demanded that Queeneth retract the allegations within 48 hours and issue a public apology. In the cease-and-desist letter shared by Etiko, she denies the accusations and suggests that Hilbert’s motive for making such claims is to gain material benefits. Etiko is seeking N100 million in damages for the defamatory statements made against her.
This public dispute has sparked a lot of attention, particularly due to the high-profile nature of the individuals involved and the serious nature of the accusations. It’s also a reminder of how social media can escalate personal conflicts, and the potential legal consequences that can arise from making defamatory statements online.
It will be interesting to see how this situation unfolds and whether Queeneth Hilbert will comply with the legal demands or if the matter will proceed to court. This case also highlights the power of social media in shaping public opinion and the importance of handling accusations and disputes carefully, especially in the public eye.
What’s your take on this situation? Do you think the legal response is justified, or is this more of a case of a personal feud getting out of hand?
