Last month, while speaking during Chude’s Live talk show, she recalled how she was bullied and insulted on social media over the demise of her protege, Jumoke Aderounmu. The movie star revealed she was going through depression during the death of Jumoke, and the bullying from online trolls worsened her mental health.
Also, at the interview, Funke admitted that despite her public image of strength, she struggled with mental health due to social media bullying. The mother of twins revealed that the death of her mother, the backlash she faced for politics, and public mockery of her personal life, especially her failed marriage, took a mental toll on her and led her to seek therapy.
Months back, Akindele had shared motivational words as she sent a message to young creatives. She admitted that her journey to success wasn’t always pretty, but it was worth it. Funke expressed how proud she was that she came from a place of hustle and hard work and advice to her junior colleagues.
While speaking at an event, Funke said nobody made her a star, only God. The movie star recalled how the idea of Jenifa’s brand came to her and how someone in the industry told her to keep milking Jenifa’s brand and gave her money to finance her projects.
