Actor Saidi Balogun has voiced his support for Toyin Abraham, stressing that celebrities have the same rights to protect their mental well-being as anyone else.
He highlighted the hypocrisy of criticizing celebrities for actions like involving the police in defamation cases, which non-celebrities frequently do.
Balogun argued that celebrities should have the same freedom to express themselves and safeguard their mental space as everyone else.
He wrote on Instagram, “You use police to arrest your neighbours for the most minor reasons; e reach celebrity turn, you say it’s bullying. Stop the emotional blackmail. Celebrities are humans, just like you. You are free to say what you like, right? Let celebrities be free to take whatever actions they want to protect their mental space. Freedom should not be selective. God bless.”
His post comes amid the controversy surrounding Toyin Abraham’s petition to the police against a social media user who defamed her, which was misreported as an arrest.
