Nollywood actress Annie Idibia, now known as Annie Macaulay, has found herself entangled in the ongoing social media drama involving Senator Ned Nwoko's family. The controversy erupted on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, when Nwoko's Moroccan wife, Laila Charani, published serious allegations against fellow actress Regina Daniels.
The Social Media Exchange That Started It All
Laila Charani's explosive Instagram post claimed that Regina Daniels introduced her to drugs and made other personal allegations against the mother of two. The post quickly gained attention across Nigerian social media circles, drawing reactions from various celebrities and fans.
Annie Idibia became involved in the situation when she was among those who liked Laila Charani's controversial post. This action did not go unnoticed by Regina Daniels' supporters, who immediately called out the actress for what they perceived as betrayal.
Backlash from Regina Daniels' Supporters
Regina Daniels' fans expressed their disappointment in Annie Idibia, recalling how Regina had publicly supported Annie during her highly publicized separation from music star 2Baba. Social media users flooded the platform with criticism directed at Annie for her perceived lack of loyalty.
One user, mj_classic2, commented: "I was shocked when I saw your like on Laila's post against Regina. When your husband left you, Regina was there for you, making sure you were happy. But now it's her turn and you're siding with Laila."
Another user, peacefulpriscy, added: "Not you liking Laila's post about Regina. You didn't try for Regina at all! She was all out for you publicly during your hard times but you kept quiet during her own hard time."
Mixed Reactions and Possible Explanations
While many criticized Annie Idibia's action, some social media users came to her defense, suggesting she might have liked the post without reading the full caption. User _sueldelioness speculated: "Am not a fan of Annie but she probably didn't read the caption? Just liking a post from the lady cos it's a family she already knows?"
Other supporters like cleo_majesty and ugoeze_01 suggested it could have been an accidental like, with comments such as "It's a mistake I promise" and "You guys should chill, maybe she didn't read it."
The incident comes amid ongoing tension in Regina Daniels and Ned Nwoko's marriage, which has seen other Nollywood celebrities like Mercy Johnson and Angela Okorie publicly supporting Regina. However, actress Esther Sky has taken a different stance, defending Laila Charani and taunting Regina Daniels in recent social media exchanges.
