Rumors Originated from Premiere Observations

I watched the premiere of legendary actress Bukky Wright's The Return of Omotara Johnson. I noticed that they never greeted or hugged each other. I heard that Toyin passed Iyabo without greeting her but I don't believe it because I watched the premiere and after party. Unless some parts were edited. They were busy observing social distancing. I hope it's not what I am thinking."
