POPULAR Nollywood actress,
Tonto Dikeh, is again in the news.
But this time , it is not for any of
her exploits in the entertainment
industry . Rather , she is
embroiled
in allegations of not settling her
debts .
According to gist circulating on
social media, a lady had claimed
that Tonto bought things from her
and it turned out that the actress
paid with a dud cheque .
Reacting to the allegation , Tonto
denied she ever wrote a cheque .
The actress though acknowledged
that the person in question
actually sold some items to her
after ‘stalking ’ her to buy , citing
that she also sold to Omotola
Jalade -Ekeinde and other
actresses .
“ I succumbed to ordering some
items from this young lady in a
way to support her business, ” the
actress said.
However , she said that upon
seeing the items the lady supplied,
she discovered they were not of
good quality .
“ When I saw these things they
were so fake, ” she said. “ I asked
her to come back and take the
items severally as it has been with
my house manager. We have never
tried to pay her and we never gave
her no cheque .’
Promising not to buy anything and
ensuring no celebrity buys
anything from her, the actress also
dropped a muched conversation
between her and the seller on
Instagram .
An online platform ,
www .trendyrammy.com , reported
that the lady accusing Tonto of
defaulting payments claimed the
actress was aware that the bags
were fake and still requested for
them. The site put the sum
involved at N192 , 000 .
The seller , identified as Pearl
Chucks , had written to the actress,
saying , “ Dear @ tontolet , thank you
for pushing me beyond my
comfort zone . I trusted you as a
celebrity and gave you a Givenchy
luggage bag and handbag with
you promising you will pay. You
couldn ’ t afford the original so you
asked for the replica, you ordered
March 8 th, it was delivered March
20 th, and you had to pay that day.
It ’s been over one month and it ’s
been story after story, you ignore
my messages and calls , you claim
your assistant was going to pay
me, I called Peter and he said the
cheque you gave him on the 8th
bounced on the 10 th.”
She also accused the actress of
blocking her on Instagram and
blasted the actress.
“ I have lost respect for you as a
woman and as a human . I will
make sure everyone knows who
you really are so you don ’t go
dupe another young girl, thank
God I didn ’t give you the authentic
bags , if not where will I be ? God
sees all the devil we do and it will
come back to you x10000 . Repay
my money . Let’s not forget the
Moschino dress shirt and you just
called to threaten me? That weed
you are smoking is really making
you delusional . You are a sorry
excuse of a celebrity , when real
celebrities and actresses call
themselves , please remove you
name from the list.’
However , despite the heat she is
under , the sultry actress on
Thursday , shared a picture of
herself in the bath -tub .
