In other news, Popular Nollywood actress, Ruth Kadiri, has candidly shared how she reacted to critics who mocked the size of her engagement ring nearly eight years ago.
During an appearance on Chude Jideonwo’s #WithChude live talk show, the filmmaker recalled the harsh online criticism she faced after announcing her engagement. According to her, many social media users laughed at the ring’s size, prompting an emotional response she didn’t act on at the time.
Kadiri admitted that she can be “petty,” and revealed that just recently—eight years later—she revisited the post and looked up the accounts of those who had mocked her.
“I remember when I got engaged, I don’t know who sent me to post it. These people started laughing at the size of my ring,” she said. “They don’t know I’m petty. Two weeks ago, I went back to that post, and I began checking those who insulted me. I visited their pages one after the other, ready to talk. I was in the mood.”
Despite her feelings, Kadiri decided against responding directly, noting that she didn’t want to become a topic on gossip blogs.
Ruth Kadiri reportedly tied the knot with her husband, Ezerika, in 2018. Their marriage is blessed with two daughters.
