Nollywood actress, Mercy Johnson has denied inviting thugs to beat up one of her daughter’s teachers in school.
The star actress had earlier flared up in a social media outburst where she allegedly accused a teacher of bullying her eight year old daughter, Purity.
The 37-year-old mother of four took to her Instagram page to lament that her daughter is “afraid of going to school” due to the alleged intimidation by the teacher.
The actress asked if it’s a crime to be a celebrity. She further warned those who don’t like her to stop transferring their aggression to her kids.
After her outburst, a social media user came out to accuse Mercy Johnson of physically assaulting the teacher and bringing thugs to Chrisland School, Victoria Garden City, Lagos to cause more harm.
Mercy Johnson who was not pleased with the accusation laid against her took to her Instagram live session with the Chrislands’ headteacher to debunk the claims that she unleashed thugs on the teacher.
She said:
“You’re the headteacher, did I meet you yesterday? No. Mrs. Blessing, did I come here with thugs? No. Did I fight anybody? No. That’s the headteacher. I didn’t meet her. All of you know I don’t look for trouble,” Mercy said.
“I don’t like drama. Even when they abuse me, I stay in my lane. But it’s my children I suffer for. It’s like they know our weak point is the press, so they use it against us. There’s somebody online saying I came with thugs.
“They said I beat up the headteacher when I’d never met the headteacher before. I’m very pained. We never had any altercation. The altercation was with the teacher. When I came two weeks ago, I just asked her something.
“She said, please excuse me (makes a disgusted face). I apologised and ask another teacher where the library was, since they said purity was there, so I could pick them. I mentioned to my husband how mean the teacher was.
“He dismissed it, saying some might and others might not like me due to the nature of my work. It was when I met Purity yesterday crying that I became concerned. She asked me if she could switch schools. I said no.”
