Why Does Everybody Hate Mercy Johnson? Rumour Roundup

Mercy

Alongside Jim Iyke and Van Vick there is little doubt that the sultry Nollywood megastar Mercy Johnson is perhaps the busiest actress in Nollywood. But for all Mercy’s adoring fans, moving performances and screen charisma she seems to create as much negative energy as positive energy…

The Rumor Mills are always in overdrive when outr dear Mercy is about… So whats making the rounds this week; see our breakdown…

All her Fellow actresses have blacklisted her

Some top actresses have blacklisted Mercy and have vowed never to work on same set with her. “As far as I’m concerned I’m not touching any script that has her in it. I’m tired of her bad aura” a prominent actress told us upon the condition of anonymity

Mercy’s The Power broker

Mercy is now rumoured to be a power broker in Asaba. It is alleged that “She is now the one who tells most marketers who to use in movies, if she doesn’t want you, that is it” our source said. We learnt Mercy now wields so much power that she picks the cast of movies and gets away with as many things as possible. This one sounds rather far fetched we believe.

Her attitude

“I’m a power broker, what do you want to do about it?”

Bought a major marketer, a car.

Mercy is cementing her relationship with the producers. Sources say Mercy sometimes undertake some jobs for free so that she remains number one in terms of volume of movies in circulation at any one time. Another tale trailing the actress is that she doesn’t have a good relationship with her colleagues because she is treacherous. In times past “…she’s been a very good friend to a number of actresses but they all fell apart because she goes behind them to spread ugly rumours, hence her lone ranger style because no one wants to associate with her”.

Worse matter

She abused Patience Ozonkwor when the latter called her prostitute. Naturally her colleagues should have sided with her because no woman enjoys being called prostitute but they sided with Mama G because there was already bad blood between them.

Solo Amaco, a major force in movie making in Nigeria spoke for the producers. He denied that Mercy now handpicks the cast. “There is nothing like that Samuel, she does not have the right to tell producers who to use and she can only play one role. She cannot play the role of Mama G while Mama G cannot play her role. And as per buying me a car, it is not true. Mercy did not buy me a car on my birthday as rumour has it. We are just close friends” he said.

There you have it. This weeks Mercy Rumour Roundup…
