Nigerian actress Iyabo Ojo has denied allegations that she is behind the popular anonymous blog, Gistlover.
In a recent interview with Ayo Makun on his Glass House podcast, Ojo explained that it wouldn't make sense for her to be behind the blog, as it often criticises her and her daughter.
She revealed that she discovered individuals close to her were providing false information to the blogger, which fueled the negative content about her and her daughter.
She stated,
“One thing I found out about Gistlover is that it’s the people close to you who take the information to Gistlover. Sometimes the information they take is wrong information. but they still take them. Some of the information are right, and some are wrong”.
She questioned why she would tarnish her image and that of her daughter if she was behind the blog.
“Some people came out to say I am gistlover. I was shocked. Iyabo Ojo is gistlover and I posted about my life on Gistlover, I dragged my daughter on gistlover. Is it for the money or the fame? “The rubbish that was written about threeome and stuff that gistlover posted and it went viral, for what reason will I want to drag my own daughter and myself? Destroy my name and reputation, why?” she questioned.
This revelation comes after there has been ongoing speculation about the identity of Gistlover's creator, with various individuals sharing their theories. However, the actress maintained that she is not involved with the blog.
