Nollywood Actress Lizzy Gold Slams Colleague 'Jesus Baby' Over Fabricated Rumors
Nollywood actress and filmmaker Lizzy Gold has ignited a firestorm of reactions after publicly calling out a colleague she referred to as 'Jesus Baby' in a social media post shared on Friday, February 20, 2026. The actress is the latest in the industry to address malicious gossip, responding forcefully to what she describes as fabricated lies intended to tarnish her reputation.
Lizzy Gold's Fiery Response to Allegations
In a lengthy and emotional post, Lizzy Gold directly addressed the unnamed colleague behind the rumors, questioning how someone could call themselves 'Jesus Baby' while engaging in such behavior. The actress revealed that the colleague had spread two specific false claims: first, that Lizzy suffers from body odour, and second, that her two children are from different men.
"How can you call yourself Jesus Baby and all you do is sit down and fabricate huge lies just to tarnish your colleague's image?" Lizzy wrote in her post. "Me, body odour? Everyone in Nollywood knows my personal hygiene is 100. It is not even something I need to prove to anyone."
Regarding the claim about her children, the actress fired back: "That my two kids are from different men? How? Are we friends? Do you know anything about me?" She emphasized that she and the colleague were never friends, describing the person as "such a terrible human being" and urging them to seek God's forgiveness.
Defending Her Brand and Personal Space
Lizzy Gold expressed frustration that despite maintaining her distance to avoid such situations, her name had still been dragged into what she called "cheap dirty gossip." She highlighted the effort it took to build her brand in the industry, adding "It is well" in a caption that suggested both resignation and determination to move forward.
The actress's post has sparked widespread speculation online, with fans and followers divided on the matter. Some have questioned whether Lizzy should have contacted the colleague privately first, while others have defended her right to publicly address what she perceives as character assassination.
Industry Context and Previous Conflicts
This incident comes just days after Lizzy Gold's close friend and fellow actress Destiny Etiko shared her own experience with betrayal by an unnamed colleague. Destiny explained that while she has granted forgiveness, the memory of what happened remains painful and has left a lasting mark on her reputation.
Interestingly, Lizzy and Destiny themselves had a well-publicized fallout two years ago due to gossip and hearsay within Nollywood. Lizzy previously revealed that the separation left her feeling lonely, as she doesn't easily form friendships the way Destiny does. The two have since reconciled, with Lizzy penning a heartfelt birthday note to Destiny celebrating their renewed bond.
Social Media Reactions to the Drama
The online community has been buzzing with reactions to Lizzy Gold's post:
- One user questioned: "Have you called her to hear from her? Did that lady give you any evidence?"
- Another commented: "Are you sure she said all these? Are you sure they are not lying against her?"
- A third user expressed confusion: "I don't even know who to side again."
- Yet another defended Lizzy: "There is no way Lizzy will come out to post this if she didn't see evidence."
The situation highlights the ongoing challenges Nollywood personalities face with gossip and reputation management in an industry where personal and professional lives often intersect. As the drama unfolds, it remains to be seen whether 'Jesus Baby' will respond publicly or whether the matter will be resolved privately within the industry circles.
