Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson has withdrawn the defamation case she filed against Nigerian TikToker Eedie Bliss.
Naija News reports that the legal action followed a video posted by Bliss in December 2025, claiming that Mercy’s husband, Prince Okojie, bought a house for a pregnant woman who was not his wife.
The video also accused Mercy of contributing to the loss of the pregnancy.
The TikToker was arrested and detained in Abuja after Okojie submitted a petition against her.
However, after appeals from the public on behalf of Bliss, Mercy decided to drop the charges and secure the blogger’s release.
Mercy explained that the decision came from respect for her family and the many individuals who intervened.
She said, however, that she will continue pursuing other defamation cases, as she wants to protect her family from false claims.
The actress criticized blogs and social media accounts for spreading harmful stories, some of which, she claimed, are controlled by fellow actresses.
She said such reports have affected her children, who face bullying at school due to the online allegations.
Mercy added that going forward, anyone making claims about her or her family must provide evidence.
She insisted that her hands are clean and that she will not allow lies to affect her children or her reputation.
While the case against Eedie Bliss has been dropped, Mercy confirmed that other cases are still active.
She urged people to stop involving her and her husband in false stories and to allow her to focus on her life and family.
