Desola Afod, the wife of Nollywood actor Kunle Afod, has responded to online critics who labeled her as clingy and proud. In a candid Instagram story posted on June 5, she expressed frustration over how her actions are often misinterpreted by the public.
Understanding the Criticism
Desola recalled being called clingy when her partner was abroad. However, when she decided to step back, the same critics accused her of being proud. She said, "They said I was clingy because they're abroad. I pulled back, and they said I was proud." This contradiction has left her confused about public expectations.
Desola's Response
In her post, Desola emphasized her willingness to learn and understand, but she pleaded for guidance on how to behave without being misunderstood. She wrote, "Beloved, I'm open to learning and understanding. Please tell me how you'd like me to act and relate with you, because it seems whatever I do is being misunderstood."
Previous Controversies
This is not the first time Desola has faced public scrutiny. In a previous report, she confronted critics amid rumors of marital issues with Kunle Afod. She sarcastically addressed allegations of selling her body for money, declaring that she had accepted all the names trolls called her, including "local, razz, and olosho." She claimed that the money from such activities supports herself, her children, and her home.
Public Feud with Actress Motilola Akinlami
Desola was also drawn into a controversy involving actress Motilola Akinlami, who accused Kunle Afod of blocking her career opportunities. Motilola made an emotional appeal to industry figures and warned Desola to speak to her husband. Instead of addressing the allegations directly, Desola posted a video of herself dancing to a Yoruba song about hypocrites, while promoting her business.
Desola's recent remarks highlight her desire for clarity and understanding in how she is perceived, as she continues to navigate public life and online criticism.
