Beverly Naya, a British-born Nigerian film actress, revealed a distressing experience she had with a blog, indicating that her career was nearly destroyed after the blog made false claims against her.
According to her, the post severely impacted her self-esteem, leading her to question the value of continuing her career as an actress.
During a recent interview with Chude Jideonwo, Naya disclosed that the blog consistently published negative articles about her, which felt like a personal attack, especially since she had been a victim of bullying in the past.
She expressed confusion as to why she was repeatedly singled out for criticism on the blog.
Naya shared that the experience deeply saddened her and made her doubt her abilities in the entertainment industry, nearly causing her to quit acting on several occasions.
She referenced a particular blog post titled “Nollywood, Can We Please Stop Making Beverly Naya Happen!” as a particularly hurtful example.
The actress recounted feeling irrelevant and questioning the value of her efforts in films.
Beverly Naya stated in part:
“It really got to me and it damaged my self esteem and it made me doubt myself like I really don’t feel like I want to continue in this industry, I wanted to quit on several occasions”
Beverly Naya told me about the blog post that utterly broke her and almost made her quit.
