America based Nollywood actress, Tonia Okoro, popularly known as Ferrari, has reacted strongly to a viral post by an unverified blog, Hallesblogafricaa, which falsely used her picture in a trending report about a 55-year-old London-based Nigerian businesswoman, Omoge Saida, CEO of Jamond Jewelry (also known as Aralamo Amonu).
The controversial post, published on Instagram, alleged that the businesswoman’s s3x tape had surfaced online. However, in a major blunder, the amateur news platform mistakenly used Tonia Okoro’s picture to illustrate the story, causing confusion among fans and followers who believed the actress was the person in question.
Since the post went viral, the actress has reportedly been bombarded with messages from fans and industry colleagues seeking clarification. In her reaction, Tonia Okoro Ferrari expressed deep displeasure over the incident, describing it as “irresponsible journalism and a deliberate attempt to tarnish her image.”
“I woke up to several calls and messages from people asking me about something I know nothing about. I have no idea who this Omoge Saida is, and I am definitely not the woman in that story,” she said.
The actress, who is in her late 30s, further stated that she has no connection whatsoever with the London-based businesswoman mentioned in the viral report. She also vowed to take legal action against the blog for defamation of character and the unauthorized use of her image.
“This is pure defamation. I will not allow anyone or any platform to drag my name into such a disgusting story. My legal team is already looking into the matter, and appropriate action will be taken,” she added.
The incident has sparked conversations online about the dangers of fake news and misinformation, especially on social media platforms where unverified blogs often publish sensational content without proper verification.
Meanwhile, fans and colleagues have rallied around the actress, urging her to stay strong and clear her name publicly as she pursues justice.
