The news around town is that Mercy Johnson who is allegedly the highest paid actress has been blacklisted by marketers for being too expensive.
That is 'bullsheet' if you ask me,if something is too expensive,move on to the next aba-made.
The marketers are probably trying to explain their own side of the story.
Read this interesting response i got via inbox.....
''Stella how are you?i know this is off topic but I want to make something clear here,yes,you must have heard that Mercy Johnson has been banned from acting by marketers,let me give you an Info,Mercy is a Bully on set,and not them say, ask many upcoming actresses their experiences with her.
Mercy goes as far as suggesting to the so called marketers who she wants to act with and who she doesn't want to act with,there was an incident she just heard that a certain actor just made a statement that she didn't like,do you know what she did?
Any movie that she knew she was going to do with the top actor,she tells the makerters that she won't act in the movie if that actor was going to be in that movie,please my people it's only in Nigeria that things like this happen,severally some Directors tell upcoming actresses when They are on set with Mercy ,that they should best to go she is a Bully,she will make upcoming actors too very uncomfortable, bully them,i always used to say to myself that she should remember she won't stay forever on top,nobody knows tomorrow and look at, the so called marketers are now wise, and not foolish to dance to her tune always.
Tonto Dikeh who people say is crazy and yes she can be is one of the best actresses on set,ask people she encourages upcomers,she will even correct you and always too nice to actors on set,please just ask people, i thought I should make this known,Nobody knows tomorrow you can never be at the top and bullying people cos you feel you are on top''
*I am not interested in whatever crap these marketers have to say,they are also the reason Nollywood is still crawling on its knees.when it favours them,they keep quiet and when not they cry wolf.
If Mercy Johnson is the highest paid actress,so how much does Genevieve,Rita,Omotola and other big names collect?......huh?
I wonder why these marketers still control what goes in Nollywood,ibinabo you need to do something about this.
Being rude on set is not a big deal if she is,everyone has an attitude problem sometimes!

Oh bother!!!
ReplyDeleteIf she is a bully on set, and you can't deal, why not sign her off and get your non bully to interprets the script for you.
Mail poster, am sorry am not buying this.
One thing I've figured is, sometimes when one is on top of his/her game, people try to pull them down with negative talks.
#Just my 5 quid on the matter!
Genny and omotola ban made mercy johnson took over,so y she de vex,u be politicians weh de wan siddon for seat till their grand children grow come take over.biko make person hear word
DeleteWhatever. Let them do their thing
DeleteStella it's a very big lie. I've been on set wit mercy twice. Mercy can act with anyone, she doesn't have issues wit any artist, very humble and playful. This people are just cooking up stories. Like she said, if u can't afford heineken, stick to ur kai-kai.
DeleteTake over not took over. Thank me later.
DeleteMercy Johnson aint going. We love her. Tonto and Alaba marketers, get that into ur bleached skullz.
DeleteU guys don't knw mercy I like her acting but mercy for sure may be a bully cos I saw what she did to mama g though she apologized after pple asked her to do and many more I can't mention here,mercy can do juju for africa she no send as long as it keeps her on top she has done more harm than good in d industry that is why none of her colleague likes her I still prefer tonto and chika to her. Which they will stop her frm acting for life
DeleteThis in box was done by Tonto. Tonto wettin MJ do u? Na God bless her with talent oh. Instead of u to try n improve on ur actin u re lookin for hw to bring down MJ. God is watchin o

DeleteThe pesin that sent dis is right mj have acted in my house before......and she was so rude and commanding
DeleteHighest paid for Alaba movies, mind you Genny,Rita,Omotola are no longer called in Alaba movies
ReplyDeleteOde
DeleteHow many movies has Genny, Omotola or Rita featured in this year? Last year, Genny only surfaced in that Good-for-nothing Weekend Getaway. She also did waka-pass in Dr. Bello and Half a Yellow sun.. Their time don pass. Its either they break into hollywood at all cost even if its waka pass roles cos its over for them here in Naija.
DeleteWoteva d case iz, u r really dumb if u dnt realise dah nija movie industry iz doin well wiv der cinema release movies dan d alaba movies mj features in. Shez a great actress no doubt buh.. Dm gennny, rita, omotola etal dy feature in movies dt has got class, mj features in jst anytin. I mean wotz d sense in dah "baby oku" movie?! Total rubbish
DeleteYou are stupid,anon 8 21 cos an average Nigerian would watch the Alaba movies more than those cinema movies,who get time and money to waste,Alaba movies got originality more than those fake accent cinema movies, they are too plastic,na Okada people,market women,students dey watch movie, will they go to the cinema and watch? No
DeleteBottom line, mj features in dead movies. I feel producers r jst using er cos dy knw pple like er movies n shez allowing dm insult er talent. Bck 2 d mata. Mumu na pple like u ni da promote piracy. Aw u wan wake ur drln mj chop? Otondo
DeleteIs not just Mercy Johnson, all women, when they think things are working in their favour, they start acting nuts.
ReplyDeleteMercy is not good one bit, i have always known, ask why she quarreled with most of her friends,from Ini,tonto,Uche Jumbo,Oge...
Delete@ Tony, I wonder what women have done to u!
DeleteI don't mean any disrespect but I feel its only a weak man that talks down on women always! Na wa for u!
@Tony, check ur FB. @fearless, Tony is saying d truth. Datz how women are. We are power driven. It gets in2 our head and we can't control it. We start misbehavin.
DeleteStella u need to diplomatic when u are dealing with issues such as this...
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha Mercy can jazz for africa,guess its failing her now...devil cannot give you something that will last.embrace God my dear
ReplyDeleteHer jazz is too too much
DeleteHer jazz na die, her mum even go asba go pack sand..... It will not last forever..
DeleteCovers face in shame.
DeleteLindaaaaaa! Meé onwe gi ebele. What's wrong with you? Jazz kwa? Tufiakwa.
And I thot U̶̲̥̅̊ were smart? U̶̲̥̅̊ J̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊s̶̲̥̅̊t̲̥̅̊ dissappointed me linda.
DeleteMadam try to think before you write, it will do u more good. Trust me
DeleteLinda, please stop now! Haba, try this, if you feel the urge to type BS, just say the Lord's Prayer 10 times and I hope by then it will disappear!
DeleteBiko!
Linda sharap... She jaz ur generation? U are a big fool. I thought u had sense..
DeleteMercy is not required to be nice to newcomers not is she hired to mentor or encourage them. As for the so called diva antics saying who she will & will not work with, it's not peculiar to Nollywood or just Mercy. She's hired to act, she does a good job, whether or not she's bitchy has nothing to do with her core job. If she were a nurse or something I can see why the complaint but all dese? Abegiii
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteHighest paid among regular actresses, who go from location to location. That's what they mean.
Omotola, Genny and Rita are not regular actresses you see in most movies. They select and work on just a couple of movies per year.
I guess Genevieve selected well b4 she featured in Weekend Getaway, that wack movie. That movie falls among some of the worst she has featured in. Mtceeeeew
DeleteWell said anon 3:16pm
DeleteHow can Mercy be d highest paid actress when Omotola, Genny and Rita are still alive and still in d industry. Impossible! D marketers should av just told us d truth dat dey don't like her or dat she is a bully instead of usin dat sorry story to cover up.
ReplyDeleteMy dear, whether u like it or not, Mercy is the highest paid right now. Two years from now Genny and OmoT will not have anything at all to act in Naija. They better go and look for business to do. Even Kate Henshaw is gradually fading into oblivion in the movie Industry. Their time don pass. Soon Mercy own go pass too.
DeleteIt's called being a diva, my dear. All the famous artistes have this behaviour....from Mariah Carey to Halle Berry. It comes with the territory . When you are big, you're big and when you are large , you're in charge. When you are a star, there's nothing like bad publicity.
ReplyDeleteMercy, abeg carry go; nothing do u jare!
GBAMEST o jare. Abeg chop kiss. see as your comment is sweeting my belle.
DeleteAbeg make una free this woman o jare. So many jealous people around.
ReplyDelete*interprete
ReplyDeleteHmmm
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan but I don't see an issue here. I just do not. In my own opinion, this just assassination of character. She's not required to baby anybody biko. Pls where's Wide Eyed? Them don knack your babe akpako o.
ReplyDeleteThe way the story line is going, its like judgement has been passed without even a fair hearing. I believe, Mercy should be given a chance to share her own part of the story before we can come into a conclusion. Thats what i feel is proper.
ReplyDeleteCock and bull story*i no tonto is behind dis but dat cnt pull mama purity down hehe try harder*TEAM MJ
ReplyDeleteAbeg dey don bribe dat person dat sent the mail. U wan bring ha down buh ur plan no go work. Enemy of progress
ReplyDeleteFrom this letter, its obvious tonto doesn't like mercy! Just saying
ReplyDeleteEveryone get their own attitude problem..
ReplyDeleteAll I will say is ppl shld always remember they were once a learner b4..plz be kind and treatt ur neighbor well..
JEO,love ur lips. They're good for Cunnilinsomething.
DeleteLet her go and sit down joor pride comes before fall,fuckerholic see talking, a retired prostitute
ReplyDeleteYou are a bastard, did u fuck her and pay her or did any of ur family members fuck her and pay her, may God have mercy on ur evil soul coming here to hide under anonymous to call someone's wife and mother names. Rubbish!
DeleteMercy is dat u
DeleteMercy, hmmmmm I have heard from some friends that she is not good on their movie locations ooo,na wa ooo,so this thing is true
ReplyDeleteBullshit! Don't buy this story.
ReplyDeleteMercy is a nice person. Dis is Tonto Dikehs handwrk
ReplyDeleteLinda eze you talk very carelessly for a married lady you are disappointment.
ReplyDeleteJulit,why are u pained?my matter go choke you very soon.take several seat already.have noticed you
ReplyDeleteYou always think and type like a child!
DeleteU get matter? Ntekwulu (cricket)
DeleteMercy Johnson indeed, av had enough,she shuld go and rest jor!
ReplyDeleteTeam MJ
ReplyDeleteI kept seeing Linda, Linda @ a time I had to scroll up to see if I'm not on a wrong blog
ReplyDeletePlease always be sure before typing nonsense here and Stella's name never change. As for mercy Johnson, soldier go soldier come, I remember when she blasted mama general patience ozokwor on set, rubbished and insulted d woman, maybe her surporters v very low memory, she has abused and rubbished is t Ramsey or Desmond? Can't remember now, a child that s not trained at home wl get her training from outside, I support d marketers, let her go and sit down at home and raise purity, shebi una talk say she's big and her husband too is big, that means she may not even need kobokobo from Alaba movies and please Stella be fair n ur judgement, nobody shd be above d law and order, u cannot be bigger than ppl that made u, if there r rules for bloggers and u urself misbehave, they either call u to order or discipline u hehehehe
You see Linda here Becouse some one called Linda made a comment about Jazz so read well b4 you comment.
DeleteTony ihekire,, am beginning to be suspect u were hacked from a tree and not born of a woman as u lack respect for our sex. Please if u were unfortunate to get shackled to a tarantula as a wife or GF pls bear ur cross and stop spewing bulls..t. tosy.
ReplyDeleteLwtmb. As in! A thousand likes to this beautiful comment.
DeleteLmao.
E
I could be wrong. If the marketers are Igbo guys, they are about their time, money and investments. Business is business. Tonto Dikeh is humble inspite of her 'craziness'. She is real.
ReplyDeleteBut Tonto cannot act na, she's ever so melodramatic. She's actually irritating in movies
DeleteAbeg shoe get size ooo! Mercy is popular amongst the 3days production movies! She's good in that area so she can charge them! As for those saying genny,omot n rita will soon fade, good actors dnt act every movie naaa. That's the difference btw them n mercy
ReplyDeleteLinda eze is just an unhappy woman on earth. Always hating. C her face like frying pan
ReplyDeleteIs not from tonto plssss. Thank me later
ReplyDeleteThis write up is not from Tonto in anyway,i am the writer and people should make enquiries about Mercy,she is a Bully,she is threatened by New good actresses and actors and she beefs a lot,she was even trying to Bully Chacha Eke,that one gave it to her she didn't take shit,if you say a line in a script that insults the character and you say it to Mercy when acting, she will go to the Director and tell him that the scene needs to be re shot or yanked when Editing, she made an actor not to be called in 15 good movies just because she said the dude made a statement and she won't act with him,thats not Nice..people can testify that Tonto is very nice to actors, she has a good heart, get closer to Tonto you people are going to understand.People on set can bear me witness..thanks for posting my comment Stella
ReplyDelete@ anon7:45 PM,I believe you jaree.that girls second name na juju.thank God she has been banned,let another person shine small....
ReplyDeleteOur people be carefull what u do or say to who God as bless no man can curse, God as bless MJ.
ReplyDeleteMJ should go back to hawking pure water, that's where she belongs
ReplyDeletewhat kind of silly attitude is this? abeg she should enter gutter joor!!!!
ReplyDeleteMercy j na proud woman,she even rejects fans from taking pictures wit her,her hubby sef resemble house boi...
ReplyDeleteTeam mercy all the way. Bad belle people carry pass and stop assisinating her character or comparing with jenny and et al. Mercy is mercy and jenny is jenny for christ sake. She is genuine and not fake like others. mercy carry go. you are the best.
ReplyDeleteTony am ur worsr 9tmare....miz P aka hawt lawyer
ReplyDeleteThe saying "one man's meat is another man's poison" is so true. Personally, I will never waste five minutes of my time watching even a promo that features Mercy Johnson. She is too "razz" for my liking.
ReplyDeleteOnce I see a film that has her as a cast member, I drop it like hot coal. Just can't deal.....
me too!!! I don't like her acting
