When asked: “Are you open to playing roles that require getting Romantic with another actor on set?”
She replied: “Age is telling on me, I just calculated that if I had to do that, what will the younger girls do? When you go past a certain level, you try to go above that level to do better.
“You don’t need people to tell you what is right or wrong. For me, I just felt I have gone past that level, I am answerable to many people, my husband, my kids; my daughter’s getting older and she gets hold of my phone, she begins to google such.
“Kids are very inquisitive and I don’t want them to question me in any way or have something in their mind. I don’t think I want to do that.
“My sense of maturing and judgment is better now and I now know better; the errors I have made in the past are things that I would not do now, some of the choices I have made in the past are things I would not do now.”
She also spoke of her challenges of combining the home front with her career.
According to her, “It is challenging, it is not easy for anyone, what has always worked for me is putting everything on a scale of preference, God first, family, then work. God has to be settled and settle the kids and my husband. My home front has to be stable before I go anywhere, if not, nowhere.”from pmnews.

Hmmmm Hopefully she has learnt her lessons and really changed for the better...
She is doing the real thing in the other room with peace of mind.
ReplyDeleteDon't you see her tummy -evidence!
Acting is a JOB. Serious professiinals interpret ANY role . Zagadat!!!
DeleteWhat on earth is our business with what she is doing in the other room bikonu?
DeleteAnon 19:36, professional actors have the ability to interpret any role. However, A-list actors have the CHOICE to decline any role that misrepresents their constantly evolving brand.
DeleteI hope you Zagadat!!!
@ HRH : you just said what I wanted and even clearer. A professional choose and is realistic with the options given to him/her especially A listers
DeleteI loved her until her saw her cook Ng show episode with Maraji and realized how much of a bully she is
ReplyDeleteReally?
DeleteWhere did you see that?
Please who is Maraji?
DeleteMercy is a known Bully in Nollywood, she dealt with many actors and actresses, there is an actor she had a problem with, she made sure producers don't cast hom,the man had roles with her, she told all the producers she can never be on the same set with him, they all had to drop him, actresses were worshipping her cos she was controlling those dumb producers,marketers and producers .
DeleteBully in what way? I watched it and she was very playful with Maraji. Humans are just evil. Anything to give a dog a bad name.
DeleteYou are so right! She invited her to cook and her show but still ordering her around. Maraji put her in her place though when she couldn't take it anymore albeit jokingly but the message was passed across. Even when you feel you are older than someone kindly do yourself a favor by respecting yourself. I don't care about age I only respect those who respect themselves and respect me. Very condescending and she had to spill the maggi on the table holding her hand like she was crippled.
DeleteMercy is that you?@ 19:36. Playful? You are the mean one here gosh. She was so patronising please. Is that how to play with someone? You can play with someone and still be respectful and show some manners. Mercy is mannerless biko🚶♂️
DeleteI felt sorry for maraji tbh
Far be it from me to defend Mercy but I hope you know that show was scripted? Scripted as in they're told what to say and do, and they do as many takes as necessary to get what is in the script?
DeleteScripted? Then the producer and the cast who agreed to it been scripted that way need some evaluation.
DeleteOdiegwu! Say the truth madam. When you were acting those dirty roles, you were very desperate for money and I know you're still desperate for money. Just say that your breasts are now touching your navel if you dare go braless. What of those movies you did? Wont your children get to watch them in the future? Oh please!
ReplyDeleteShe acted alot in the past to last for two generations, shes satisfied
ReplyDeleteHahaha....😂😂😂
DeleteBla bla bla!
ReplyDeleteHusband snatchers association.
We should have gone past this now. This is year 2020
DeleteThere's no such thing as Karma. Mercy, Stella and co are proving that.
DeleteJust focus on your life and move on.
Karma de o
Delete18.45 I am sure Angelina Jolie thought the same until it came knocking.
DeleteJust in case you are thinking of snatching a married man and motivating yourself in advance @18.45
Delete18.45
DeleteSowing and reaping nko?
Learnt her lessons? can someone explain what happened please...
ReplyDeleteA very good choice for her. I wish her the best.
ReplyDeleteMercy mercy mercy, I really hope you've stopped being a gossip
ReplyDeleteYou are back? Or, you are new?
DeleteI sure miss you around here, ma.
Good, we thrive to be better and more responsible as we grow older.
ReplyDeleteNice one Mercy.
I don't know why I feel like I know what this woman is going through, trying to please her demanding husband, trying to outshine the ex-wife and not be like her or labelled being like her, enduring so much just to prove the society who are waiting and expecting her Marriage to fail wrong... Opo (e plenty), so much work
ReplyDeleteThe wife that has children for another already?
Delete100% right!!
DeleteGood for her. Family is important and I love her.
ReplyDeleteSaying you won't take romantic roles because of your family and stuff just shows you do not take your job seriously. Family should know you as both a Mom and and a professional in your field.
ReplyDeleteOooooshey! We know your type! Thank God she didn’t mention her husband solely. Children interpret things differently and she said she doesn’t want to answer question but there must be one person that will preach that you do something for yourself forgetting that when the consequences come (in the form of scandals because of decisions that YOU take), you are not the only one that will deal with it. Your family, husband and children will bear out of the brunt but it’s ok because family don’t have feelings, they should know that you were just being professional in a field where you have options. If you don’t geddifok
DeleteY'all just love to hate.
DeleteLol @ professional. Some of these people who do things you interpret as professional are just useless. If you like, do anything and don't consider that you have a spouse AND children to consider. Some of you think money, fame and Instagram are everything, lol. Till it all backfires and you wonder what happened, then y'all start blaming the devil and running from pillar to post.
DeleteSome marriages work, some don't. We don't know what's going on behind closed doors till they're blown open. But however professional you want people to think you are, you are just a useless and irresponsible soul if you're in the habit of doing things without considering the impact on your spouse + children that didn't ask to be born.
Anon 21:22 there is more to life than losing yourself and not using your brain to calculate future cost of current decisions because you want to be seen as a professional:is it not nolloywood again? How much will she be paid or what recognition will she get when she does crazy things on screen? The money in the industry is little and their awards are not that important. In Hollywood you can actually make it big with a lot of money, big endorsements and winning an Oscar which is a major deal but even at that after a while the smart women who have made enough money and fame still step back and allow others to shine. Julia Robert hardly act now and it is responsible roles which is same for Angelina Jolie,Halle berry. They are busy with their families and humanitarian issues. God and family should come first before any other thing for a married woman and for Mercy who especially has paid her dues
DeleteMercy is married to an Edo man. There are certain things she is expected not to do in order not to hurt the home front.
ReplyDeleteStory,was Ini edo not married to a Edo man, abeg you guys should stop deceiving yourself.
