Actress and producer Mercy Johnson has threatened legal action against online trolls and platforms spreading false information about her and her family.
In a video on her Instagram page, Johnson revealed she had withdrawn charges against TikTok content creator Eedie Bliss, who alleged her husband bought a mansion for a mistress, due to public support and respect for those who reached out.
However, Johnson emphasised that she won’t tolerate further false allegations, stating ‘it’s no longer business as usual’ and vowing to prioritise her family’s peace, reports The Nation.
She urged bloggers and the public to refrain from mentioning her family’s names, warning that anyone making public allegations must be prepared to prove them.
She said, “Hi guys, good morning from the other side. First and foremost, let me just say thank you all for supporting my craft. I do not take your love for granted. But I felt the need to say that it’s no longer going to be business as usual. I have plans later this year for things I have to do online, and having plans to make trouble and court cases is going to be part of them because some people just won’t leave my family alone.
“For the love and respect we have for numerous individuals, we have decided to withdraw the charges against the lady in question. Please, you all should leave my family alone.
“I am appealing to bloggers and the public to keep my name, my husband’s name, and my children’s names out of your mouths. My priority remains my family and my peace.
“This decision was made out of love and respect for certain individuals. My husband and I have decided to withdraw the charges against the lady involved in the recent controversy, but it does not mean I will tolerate false allegations going forward.
“This is no longer business as usual. While I have chosen to drop this particular case, anyone who publicly alleges wrongdoing against me will be required to prove it. Whoever alleges must be ready to prove.”
